His assertion reads;
Our consideration has been drawn to the publication of this audio tape of personal dialog between Peter Obi and Bishop Oyedepo. It isn’t shocking that these political criminals are attempting to spin the dialog as if Obi was making a spiritual assertion.
Firstly, the context of the dialog was aptly put by Bishop Oyedepo when he mentioned, ‘All Nigerians have equal stake on this nation, no person has the proper to say that he’s dashing one thing to somebody’.
H. E. Peter Obi was merely urging the Bishop to assist him push this message of equal stake of all Nigerians within the Nigerian mission to his individuals and the christiandom as a result of the politicians of the opposite occasion is carrying on this marketing campaign as if it’s a spiritual warfare.
To drive dwelling this level, he knowledgeable him that he visited the normal ruler of Offa, the Olofa of Offa, who’s a Muslim, however who suggested Obi to get the help of Oyedepo and be assured of his personal help. No Politician has ever visited the Olofa of Offa. It’s clear to all people that the APC political occasion that has a Presidential Candidate, Vice Presidential Candidate, Senate President, Speaker of the Home of Representatives, Deputy Speaker of the Home of Representatives, Nationwide Chairman of the Social gathering all from one faith at a time the CJN is a Muslim is the Social gathering that has declared spiritual warfare on Nigerians and we should all stand up collectively to battle this unconstitutional act of non secular intolerance of different religions by APC.
I went round with Obi on marketing campaign practice and by no means noticed him discriminate in opposition to any faith. In fact he can’t as a result of his Vice is a Muslim in contrast to APC. I resigned from APC due to their spiritual intolerance. Nigerians ought to disregard any insinuation of non secular bigots about this tape.
