Labour Party (LP) has said some opposition are orchestrating a ruse against their presidential candidate, Peter Obi stating that they have launched a campaign of calumny against the Senior Pastor of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
A statement issued by the head, Obi-Datti Media, Diran Onifade, said their attention was drawn to yet another campaign of calumny emanating from opposition ranks.
“This time, blaming ‘Obidients’ for recent unjustified social media attacks on the revered general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
“We wish to state categorically that supporters of Mr Peter Obi, like their principal, have great respect for Pastor Adeboye, indeed every responsible and respectable Nigerian, and therefore are not involved in any social media hounding of the revered man of God most especially over a statement he did not make.
“It has become a pattern for desperate political operatives to orchestrate a ruse and blame it on Peter Obi’s supporters in furtherance of the opposition’s subterfuge strategy which has failed back-to-back.
“We wish to appeal to fellow Nigerians to ignore the antics of election riggers who believe that demarketing Peter Obi is their sure means of keeping a stolen mandate.
“Nigerians are aware by now that issuing personal insults is not Peter Obi’s character and he does not encourage his followers to engage in the same,” the statement added.
