August 1 Protest, Tinubu Plotting To Arrest Peter Obi. by sekundosekundo: 11:37pm On Jul 20
August 1 Nationwide Protest: Tinubu Presidency Plotting To Arrest Peter Obi, Says Media
Obi's media team was reacting to claims made by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, which linked Obi to the upcoming protest.

The media team of former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has raised the alarm that the Bola Tinubu presidency was scheming ways to arrest Obi over the forthcoming August 1 nationwide protest.

Obi's media team was reacting to claims made by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, which linked Obi to the upcoming protest.

SaharaReporters had earlier reported that the Tinubu presidency was apprehensive over the looming nationwide protest and had said that Nigerians should not carry out a civilian coup against Tinubu.

Onanuga had alleged that Obi's supporters were organising nationwide protests against the Tinubu administration and should be held accountable for any resulting chaos.

He had also accused the protest organisers of being responsible for the violent 2020 ENDSARS protest.

In response, Obi's media office in statement described the allegations as unfounded and malicious, suggesting that the presidency is attempting to justify arresting Obi and restricting his freedom of association.

The statement issued by its spokesman, Yunusa Tanko, on Saturday, stated: “The attention of the Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR, has been drawn to the wild, wicked and baseless allegations by one of the Spokespersons in the Presidency, Bayo Onanuga, accusing the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, of being the mastermind of a planned protest in the country.

“The statement even said that Obi should be held responsible for any mayhem that may occur in the protest. But POMR can report from good and reliable authority that these unsubstantiated allegations are being orchestrated to arrest Obi, limit his freedom and association and stop his propagation for good governance which they find injurious to their lavish lifestyle.

“Peter Obi, by his mien in and out of political office, has not in any way shown or been associated with violence even in the most obvious provocations. He has always shown, even during the electioneering, that he is issue-driven as he carries on without calling anybody’s name.

“POMR is also aware that multiple attack dogs have been hired and strategically deployed to ensure that Obi does not enjoy the ear of the Nigerian populace who are keen on hearing his voice on issues."

Nigerians should be tired by now of rallying around persons and parties. History has more than taught many that Nigerian heroes do not exist. Most of those Anyone living in Nigeria today who has experienced the shege-banza of at least this last year should rally instead behind a cause and not around persons. Politicians are not worthy leaders.... they are politicians and typically have none of the interests of Nigerians at heart. Obi is no different! undecided

As for Tinubu threatening to arrest Obi while promoting so many known criminals that should motivate the common man to strongly protest this government. The blatant disregard for the rights of the people is atrocious and should be made a thing of the past. undecided

Tinubu's leadership brings hope for Nigeria's progress. It's crucial we remain united and focused on development rather than division.

Slavery has nothing to do with party but people that can deal with you anyhow but you can't challenge them because of the consequences that await you if do. E.g one Aboki killed one of your brothers in your town in the broad day time and rode his bike over him in your town you couldn't do anything about it . another e.g is the protest that is being organized by the north instead confronting them directly your people even with Presidential power are too afraid to even issue statement against it, instead they started blaming Peter Obi.
Tochitee:


The only slave master here is ,igbos and PDP north relationship, that’s the only perfect slave masters relationship in Nigeria! I mean how a tribe serve a party for more 30 years,yet thought so little of them to dash dem presidency,it’s their slavery mouth they will use to call the YORUBAS THEIR LORD, slaves!!!

Anti, there is no proof anywhere of this. The media team of Peter Obi have just thrown this into the public domain, without any proof, knowing they can use it to play politics and that Obidients and other empty barrels (no names mentioned ma) will jump up and down over it like the retarded monkeys they are.

President Tinubu is too soft for my liking, nonsense alarmist BS press releases like this can be solved by a few days residency in the nearest DSS offices of the publishers of said press release.

Nonsense and ingredients (to quote Chief Eleyinmi).
