The Media Aide to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Valentine Obienyem, has said the leaked audio of his principal, Mr. Peter Obi between the founder of Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, was doctored out of context.
Valentine claimed ‘our Nnewi prodigal brother’ is responsible for the leak.
In the leaked audio, Mr. Peter Obi was asking Bishop David Oyedepo to please encourage Christians from the South-West to vote for him.
The audio reported that Obi said “Daddy, I need you to speak to your people in the South-West and Kwara, the Christians in the South-West and Kwara. This is a religious war.”
However, Obienyem said in a post on his Facebook page on Sunday evening that “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,” Valentine added.
