The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate for the 2023 election of spreading ethnic hatred and instigating tribal sentiments in order to gain an undue advantage ahead of next year’s poll.

Recall POLITICS NIGERIA had reported how Obi said that he has been told several times that “these people are going to kill me”.Reacting, the ruling party in a statement on Monday afternoon by the Director of Media and Public Affairs and Official Spokesperson for the APC Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, who is also the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, said Obi’s claim was concocted.

The statement reads: ” Our attention has been drawn to an offensive, hate-filled video made and circulated by the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, in which he accused an amorphous and non-existent “Tinubu’s Group” of spreading a Whatsapp message calling on the Yoruba not to vote for him. The purported message, according to Mr. Obi, forewarned the Yoruba that a vote for Peter Obi would be a vote for a seaport in South/South and South/East”.

“For the avoidance of doubt, this is a transcript of the so-called message as relayed by Mr. Peter Obi: ‘Yoruba shine your eyes o, if you vote for Peter Obi, it is automatically voting for seaports in South-South and South East. The Igbos will stop coming to Lagos State to invest, rather they will go to Delta and Rivers States, they may even stop building houses in Lagos. It will affect a lot of Yorubas. Yoruba ro nu o.’

“Firstly, we vehemently deny the existence of any of such “Tinubu group” that made and circulated such a message. All groups supporting the APC Presidential Candidate and his running-mate have clear designations with well-known promoters. In addition, it is only messages released by the APC Presidential Campaign Council that are officially authorized and for which we take responsibility.

“We challenge Mr. Peter Obi to reveal the source and name(s) behind that nebulous Whatsapp message.

“We wish to state that it is obvious Mr. Peter Obi deliberately concocted that message and circulated that offensive video himself as a campaign strategy in order to come across as a victim of some kind of ethnic agenda, whereas in truth, he is the real agent provocateur of an ethnic agenda.”

God forbid what happened to Funsho Williams to happen to Obi.

People getting mad that someone addressed a hate message making rounds on social media but not addressing the hate messages itself shows how low most Nigerians think.

We all know the numerous tribal bashing from tinubu camp but no one has come out to ask for it to be out to an end…

What a shame

When will the Notorious Drug Baron Reply those calling for him to provide his primary and secondary school Certificates... ?

The useless statement that it is missing is not valid because your school can Re-issue a missing certificate when the need arises ...

Nawa

Unnecessary write up

Incoherent, disjointed and amateurish write up by Agbadorian group. So it's true that this people are so dumbed and stupid.



Jennifer663 attached the link and tag the mods let sane Nigerians see the nonsense.

Is that why the agbado drug trafficker is trying to assassinate him?

Useless propaganda. Let him show face let's interview him na.
But why is this country so cursed with useless people like this?

Imagine it was the other way around and Obi or Atiku that did not have primary or secondary school certificate how noisy the Tinubu campaign group would have been.
