Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), criticized Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, for spending national resources on media speculation that he had committed treason.
Recall that the charge was recently made by the Minister in meetings with journalists in Washington, DC, in the United States of America.
Mohammed claimed it was treasonous for the former governor of Anambra State to incite violence over the results of the presidential election on February 25.

According to Newsmen, Peter Obi called the treason charge against him the height of rascality during a Monday interview on ARISE TV.
The LP flagbearer also criticized Lai Mohammed for wasting money, claiming that the money spent on such an activity might be utilized to construct six blocks of classrooms.
He said, “That is the height of rascality. It was even announced in Washington. I committed a treasonable offence and I’m in Onitsha, and my minister went to announce it in Washington. This is the waste in governance we are talking about and people don’t want to understand.
“The amount it cost Nigeria for him to go and announce that in Washington can build a block of six classrooms in a primary school. I’m sure if you go to his village there are so many places where children don’t even have desk or classrooms to go to school.

“Instead of using that money for this purpose, he went to Washington to announce treason against someone in Onitsha. He doesn’t need to do that. From there he went to London, announcing the same thing when I’m in Nigeria. He should have come to see me or invited me and tell me my offense.”
