‘Yes Daddy’ Imbroglio: Peter Obi Returns To Twitter After 4 Days Of Inactivity
Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi , has ended his inactivity on Twitter.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned the former Anambra state governor, who was known for being very active on Twitter, had suddenly become inactive sequel to his getting a great deal of public attention since Saturday.
The soft-spoken Peter Obi returned to Twitter on Tuesday morning to congratulate the winner of an academic prize.
‘My very warm congratulations to Chinalurumogu Eze for winning the 2023 Future Creative Leaders Academy (FCLA) Prize for the Roger Hatchuel Student Academy.
I urge @nalu_kings to go all out for victory as she represents Nigeria at the Roger Hatchuel Student Academy (RHSA) in the Cannes Lion Festival in France. May God Almighty, who sees your goodness and hard work grant you success. –PO’ he wrote.
An audio of a phone call between Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church and Mr Peter Obi where he made religious comments was released by an online newspaper on Saturday and this had made the bishop and Obi be in the public eye.
.
‘Daddy, I need you to speak to your people in the South-West and Kwara, the Christians in the South-West and Kwara. This is a religious war. Like I keep saying: if this works, you people will never regret the support’ Obi had submitted during the conversation with Bishop Oyedepo.
The LP presidential candidate had also emphasized that the votes being sought were needed because the 2023 presidential election was a religious war.
Though Mr Peter Obi has returned to twitter, he however did not expressly deny the leaked audio or make direct comments in respect of the ‘Yes Daddy’ imbroglio but denied allegations of making inciting comments.
‘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, is coming from such high quarters.
Minister Lai accusing me of stoking insurrection is totally malicious and fictitious. 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. I am on record as always, advocating for peace and issue-based campaign and never campaigned based on ethnicity or religion.
I am committed to due process, and presently seeking redress in the Court. I urge those engaged in this demarketing process to stop presenting Nigeria in such bad light. Our future generations deserve a new Nigeria, where they can live a secure and decent life like their counterparts in other climes. It is possible. –PO’ he tweeted- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
