The Labour party has taken a swipe at the spokespersons of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, accusing them of being afraid of the political movement embodied in its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Farouk Umar, the National Secretary, Labour Party, appeared on Arise News Night on Sunday to speak on the widely reported leaked phone conversation allegedly between Obi and the presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, where the latter reportedly sought the cleric’s assistance in convincing Christians in the South West and North Central to vote for him.
He said that the leaked phone conversation was distorted to convey a religious narrative against Obi.
“When you change the original content of an information, that information becomes fake.
“We have arrived at the conclusion that the audio is a fake audio, completely fake.
“We have it on record that the APC spokespersons have dared the Obidient that we are going to see media attacks,” Umar said.
He insisted that the APC and other opposition groups are allegedly promoting “cheap blackmail” against Obi due to his acceptability amongst Nigerians.
