The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has accused the federal government of trying to sow the seeds of discord around, even in families.
Obi levelled this unwholesome practice at the government while speaking on Arise TV on Monday.
The former Anambra governor in his remarks, said the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government indulged in propaganda and would do anything to polarise opposition and cause disaffection among families in order to remain in power.
“This is what you get, always, right? This is what you get always in Nigeria, because we now live in a country of propaganda and lies – and they manufacture it.
“The problem we have in Labour Party is a problem instigated and sustained by the government of today.
“I don’t need to tell you when you have a party chairman who calls a state governor a dwarf and dwarf thinking. Forget about me, so it’s not weak.
“Okay, I’m weak, but it’s not weak. Is every other person there weak? So we’re not sincere with ourselves.
“You speak the truth and they call you names. And we now live in a country of propaganda and lies. They are trying to put problems everywhere, they want to even put problems in families,” he alleged.
Recall that the Labour Party is fractured with one faction under the leadership of Julius Abure while the other is chaired by former Finance Minister, Nenadi Usman.
