Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, has spoken out about his contentious chat with Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church that was leaked.
Obi asserted that pleading with Oyedepo was preferable to ordering his supporters to kidnap and steal ballot boxes from voters.
Obi implored Oyedepo to pressure his followers and Christians in the Southwest to support him during the most recent presidential election in the leaked phone call.
REVEALED: Peter Obi Conversation With Oyedepo Leaked By ‘Nnewi Rodigal Brother’
Obi called the 2023 election for president a “religious war,” thus Oyedepo needs to persuade Christians to vote for him.
Many people in the nation criticized Obi for being a religious bigot in response to the conversation that the LP’s flagbearer leaked.
However, speaking on Arise Television, Obi said: “Let’s assume I even begged the Bishop to tell his congregation to vote for me so as to save Nigeria. Is it not better than telling my followers to snatch it, steal it, and run away with it?”
