Federal Government and Peter Obi exchange treason accusations.
Peter Obi. Photo/Facebook/• Don’t misinform international community, LP cautions Mohammed, was again drawn out when the Federal Government accused him of treason, weeks after candidate of the ruling party, Bola Tinubu, won the hotly contested presidential election.
Mohammed is in Washington to engage with international media organisations and think-tanks on the just-concluded 2023 polls. “This is treason. You cannot be inviting insurrection, and this is what they are doing. Obi’s statement is that of a desperate person, he is not a democrat that he claimed to be. A democrat should not believe in democracy only when he wins election,” he said.
“You cannot win an election in a poll where you came a distant third position and failed to meet constitutional requirements. Obi, while complaining of fraud, has not disowned his victory in Lagos,” he said. “I am on record as always, advocating 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.
Also, National Chairman of LP, Comrade Julius Abure, has called out the Minister of Information, advising him to stop misinforming the international community about the true political situation in Nigeria, adding that Muhammed should rather be admonishing spokespersons of the ruling party. The group, in a statement by its national coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, said such warning does not arise as a President-elect does not possess any constitutional powers, authority or functions to perform on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
MEANWHILE, the House of Representatives has asked security agencies to be on alert to forestall possible breakdown of law and order, following intelligence report on a plot for an interim government. While moving the motion, Idem said the interim government is unknown to the nation’s Constitution and those calling for it are enemies of the country.
