Mr Peter Obi knocks Lai Mohammed for a Treason allegation against him image
Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party Presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, has reacted to the treason allegation leveled against him by the Federal Government.

"I have never discussed or encouraged anyone to undermine the Nigerian state; I have never sponsored or preached any action against the Nigerian state. Those initiating these actions have increasingly used their official positions and agents to make false allegations against me.

Mr. Peter Obi made the rebuttal in reaction to an allegation of treason raised against him by the Federal Government through the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

The LP candidate said, "In the past few days, I have observed various campaigns of calumny directed at my Person, with the latest being allegations attributed to the Information Minister, Lai Mohammed from Washington DC.

"It is most unfortunate that these consistent efforts to portray me quite contrary to what I am, and my core values, are coming from such high quarters. Minister Lai Mohammed accusing me of stoking insurrection is malicious and fictitious."

Mr. Peter Obi's statement is that of a desperate person, he is not the democrat that he claimed to be.

"I am on record as always, advocating for peace and issues-based campaign and never campaigned based on religion or ethnicity. I am committed to due process, and presently seeking redress in court.

"I urged those engaged in this demarketing process to stop presenting Nigerians in a such bad light.
Our future generations deserve a new Nigeria, where they can live a secure and decent life like their counterparts in the other climes. It is possible.


Lai Mohammed, while interacting with international media organizations and Think-tanks on the just concluded 2023 polls on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, in Washington DC said Peter Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed Yusuf have been inviting insurrection since they lost the February 25 Presidential election.

Lai Mohammed said, "Peter Obi and his Vice, Datti Ahmed cannot be threatening Nigerians that if the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) is sworn in on May 29, it will be the end of democracy in Nigeria.

"This is treason. You cannot be inviting insurrection, and this is what they are doing.
