Peter Obi’s Media Office Alleges Presidency Is Plotting His Arrest
The media office of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has made a stunning allegation that the presidency is plotting to arrest him. The allegation comes ahead of planned nationwide protests against the Tinubu administration, scheduled to take place in August.
According to a statement released by the presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, Obi and his supporters are responsible for organizing the protests. Onanuga alleged that the protests are an attempt to “destabilize Nigeria” and that Obi’s supporters should be held accountable for any violence that may occur. He also accused Obi of trying to “stage a civilian coup” against President Bola Tinubu.
Obi’s media office denied the allegations, stating that he has always been a proponent of peaceful dialogue and has not been associated with violence. They accused the presidency of trying to discredit Obi and limit his freedom of association. The media office also alleged that the presidency has hired “attack dogs” to discredit Obi and his supporters.
The allegations come at a time of heightened political tension in Nigeria, with protests and demonstrations becoming increasingly common. The presidency has not commented on the matter beyond Onanuga’s statement.
The planned protests are aimed at expressing dissatisfaction with the Tinubu administration’s handling of the economy and governance. Obi’s supporters, who feel he was unfairly defeated in the last election, are expected to participate in the protests.
The Nigerian police force has promised to provide security for the protests, but there are concerns about potential clashes between protesters and security forces.
The international community is watching the situation closely, with some diplomats expressing concerns about the potential for violence and unrest.
