Media aide to Peter Obi Valentine Obienyem has claimed that he knows who was behind the leaked conversation between Bishop Oyedepo and the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate.
The audio conversation on Saturday, April 1st, 2023, leaked online and went viral with reactions coming from Oyedepo and Obi.
Obienyem made a post on his Facebook page saying:
“I heard they set up a Committee made up of some Communications experts, headed by our prodigal brother from Nnewi. They are reviewing all calls Obi made in the last three years, and especially now to see if he mentioned Interim Government or anything that will make them prosecute him for treason when and if they take over.
“Till now, they are yet to see any. The badly doctored conservation with Bishop Oyedepo released by our Nnewi prodigal brother is the much they have discovered so far. They edited out the Muslim-Muslim ticket that led to the discussion, where Obi said that in a society like ours, religious balancing was a necessary consideration and that their recklessness had made Christians to assume it was a religious war.”
