“As part of the grand design, they are circulating a fake doctored audio call. At no time throughout the campaign did Mr Peter Obi ever say, think or even imply that the 2023 election is or was a religious war.

Meanwhile, Kenneth Okonkwo, LP Presidential Campaign Council spokesperson, and Valentine Obienyem, a spokesperson for Mr Obi, Sunday, confirmed the authenticity of the audio but gave a different interpretation of the conversation.Disturbing Emerging Developments in Nigeria! 4. It is difficult to fathom and indeed unfortunate and regrettable that state institutions have become part of a well calculated, deliberate and orchestrated campaign of calumny by the APC to discredit and delegitimize Mr Peter Obi and compel him to abandon his right to seek redress in court following the outcome of the last election which was adjudged both locally and internationally to have failed to meet any standard of credibility or fairness.
