Labour Party Accuses APC Of Plans To Assassinate Peter Obi

The Labour Party (LP) has accused the Presidential candidate of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu and his camp of plans to assassinate Peter Obi, LP’s Presidential flag bearer.

LP said that Tinubu and his handlers have become “jittery and totally frightened enough” of Obi’s nationwide acceptance following “the various States’ Peter Obi one-million-man rallies that have been recording very huge successes across the nation.”

A statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Arabambi Abayomi while referring to a recent allegation by APC Presidential Spokesman, Festus Keyamo who accused Obi of stage-managing an attempt at his life, said that the governing party “has indirectly warned all Nigerians that a plan to assassinate Peter Obi by the APC is on the way.”

The statement also stated that “No one is confused by the APC through Festus Keyamo’s open pre-crime alibi. No one is fooled enough to buy into the very sadistic attempt to create a confusing narrative ahead of committing a felony.”

It reads in part, “The attention of Labour party has once again been drawn to the most bizarre and unprecedented desperation of APC led administration through their presidential Campaign Spokeperson, Mr Festus Keyamo who raises false narratives about our party presidential candidate Mr Peter Gregory Obi of an attempt to fake a self assassination attempt against his own life.

“Labour party considered this devilish act by the APC presidential spokesman as not only deceitful but a subtle way to gain unmerited sympathy in their bogus attempt at employing crude primitive tactics clandestinely in order to win the 2023 presidential election through fraudulent means.

“Festus Keyamo’s provocative and highly disparaging insinuation against our Presidential candidate would have been ignored with its puerile contents but it’s expedient to set the record straight for the benefits of the public and our party members

“Festus Keyamo in a fabricated and very misleading press statement claimed he was responding to a non-existent false rumour that Peter Obi plans to “stage – manage” an “assassination attempt” on himself is alarming and very frightening and it leaves no room to doubt the implications of the claim as it is like a self-confession by the APC in its plan to assassinate the LP Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi.
