Tinubu: APC Reacts To Peter Obi’s Viral Video

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, has reacted after a video of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, reading a message he (Obi) claimed was from a “Tinubu group” went viral.

The message Obi read in the video was an anti-Igbo message warning people who are Yoruba against voting for him. The former Anambra State governor was also recorded to have complained about Tinubu’s health, amongst others.

Keyamo, in a statement on Monday, criticised Obi for his comments in the video.

He said, “We find it utterly disgusting, demeaning and insulting to the sensitivities and sensibilities of Nigerians for a Presidential Candidate of the ilk of Peter Obi to make such a video parroting a spurious, unverified and sham message that has the potential of deepening our faultlines as a nation and further promoting ethnic tensions. This is completely unbecoming of a Presidential Candidate that hopes to unite this country.

“Again, we note that Mr OBI’s latest stunt is consistent with what is now widely perceived as his adoption of hate as campaign strategy, having consistently failed to rein in his known and identifiable supporters, mostly domiciled on social media, threatening political opponents with violence and death.

“We are also aware that plans are afoot by Mr Peter Obi to fake an assassination attempt on himself and hire Labour Party boys dressed in APC caps and T-shirts to attack some Labour Party offices. It is all part of the “US Plan”. It is the first in a series of incendiary actions planned by this ill-prepared but desperate candidate,” Keyamo added.
