Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, has responded to the leaked audio conversation between himself and Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, which has been circulating on social media since April 1st.
The audio, released by online newspaper Peoples Gazzete, captures Obi asking Oyedepo to help him mobilize Christian voters in the North Central states of Kwara, Kogi, and Niger, declaring the election a “religious war.”
Despite supporters claiming the audio was doctored, Obi did not deny or confirm the recording’s authenticity but did state that his campaign was not based on ethnicity or religion.
He also accused Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, of falsely accusing him of stoking insurrection. Obi stated that he was committed to due process and seeking redress in court.
