Peter Obi Planning Fake Assassination Of Himself To Malign APC: Keyamo
“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.”
Festus Keyamo, the official spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign committee, has accused Labour Party candidate Peter Obi of plotting a phony assassination attempt on himself in order to get public sympathy and tarnish the APC.
iexclusivenews reports that Mr. Keyamo stated in a statement published in reaction to a video in which Mr. Obi accused the Tinubu party of harboring tribal bigotry that he was aware of Mr. Obi’s “U.S. plan” of fomenting ethnic hostility among Nigeria’s vast population of voters.
“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 “U.S Plan”. This is the first in a series of incendiary actions planned by this ill-prepared but desperate candidate. ”
According to the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Obi was a sectional irredentist who sought to expel Nigerians from Anambra State when he was governor.
“Here is a man known as a sectional irredentist, with public records showing him expelling Nigerians from a section of the country from Anambra State while he was Governor and has decidedly resorted to an ethno-religious card in his activities and messaging thus far, now accusing his father of being an ethnic champion. ” What a supreme irony. ” Mr. Keyamo said Mr. Obi was “a desperate non-starter of a presidential candidate who has decided to resort to crude revisionism, ethnic jingoism and crass insensitivity with a view to whipping up the undeserved sentiment to fuel his faltering ambition that is nothing but a flash in a pan.”

“Mr. Obi’s latest stunt is consistent with what is now widely perceived as his adoption of hate as a 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.” he added .
While campaigns have yet to begin officially, mainstream political parties and their candidates have begun trading words ahead of the 2023 presidential election. In July, Mr. Tinubu attacked the Labour Party when he said they “would labor till death.”
