Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) has by proxy put the leaked phone conversation between him and David Oyedepo, founder of Winners Chapel down to Interim government matter.
Obi was heard in the leaked audio begging Oyedepo to help him mobilise Christian voters ahead of the election, especially those in the North Central states of Kwara, Kogi and Niger, declaring the election was a religious war.
The exposure set tongues wagging, elicited public controversy, and drew retractions from the two central figures.
The former Anambra governor, a favourite with several internet geeks and people from the Southeast, said the leakage of the controversial audio has to do with the rumoured interim government plot.
This, he alleged by his media aide, Valentine Obienyem via a Facebook post on Sunday the latter authored and posted on his wall.
“I heard they set up a Committee made up of some Communications experts, headed by our prodigal brother from Nnewi. They are reviewing all calls Obi made in the last three years, and especially now to see if he mentioned Interim Government or anything that will make them prosecute him for treason when and if they take over.
“Till now, they are yet to see any. The badly doctored conservation with Bishop Oyedepo released by our Nnewi prodigal brother is the much they have discovered so far. They edited out the Muslim-Muslim ticket that led to the discussion, where Obi said that in a society like ours, religious balancing was a necessary consideration and that their recklessness had made Christians to assume it was a religious war,” Obienyem narrated.
