Peter Obi, the Labour Party's (LP) candidate for president in the recently held presidential election, asserted that he is being pressured to leave Nigeria.

In a message on Wednesday night, Obi criticized the All Progressives Congress, the party in power, and several government organizations, accusing them of spreading false information.

Moreover, the former governor of Anambra State stated that the widely circulated tape of him and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners' Church is a hoax.

"The present attempts by the APC as a Party, and the APC Led-government through some government officials and agencies to divert our attention from our blatantly stolen mandate is unfortunate and sad.

"These have come and continued to manifest in different ways, such as the malicious accusation of the Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed, the circulation of a fake doctored audio call, and a pressure on me to leave the country.

"Let me reiterate that the audio call being circulated is fake, and at no time throughout the campaign and now did I ever say, think, or even imply that the 2023 election is, or was a religious war," Obi said.

These have come and continued to manifest in different ways, such as the malicious accusation of the Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed, the circulation of a fake doctored audio call, and a pressure on me to leave the country.
