Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, has been informed that he is free to go outside of Nigeria in exile by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, the APC’s director of new media.
Former Aviation Minister Fani-Kayode made this statement in response to Obi’s protests, who was under pressure to leave the nation after choosing to contest the results of the presidential election.
The former governor of Anambra State further charged that the ruling party and several government organizations were attempting to deflect attention away from the purported irregularities that marred the just-concluded elections.
He made the statement in response to an audio leak that supposedly included his chat with Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder and presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church.
Commenting on the audio leak in a series of tweets on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, the Labour Party flag-bearer said, “These have come and continued to manifest in different ways, such as the malicious accusation of the Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed, the circulation of a fake doctored audio call, and a pressure on me to leave the country.”
Reacting via Twitter, Fani-Kayode said Obi need not raise any alarm and should do the country a favour by going on a permanent exile.
“Please do us all a big favour and go! Sooner the better and never come back!,” the fiery former Minister tweeted on Thursday.
