Peter Obi’s aide reveals those behind leaked tape with Bishop Oyedepo

Valentin Obienyem, media aide to Labour Party Presidential Candidate Peter Obi has revealed those behind the leaked tape of Obi’s conversation with Bishop David Oyedepo.

A tape of Obi speaking with Oyedepo on the eve of the presidential election, asking the Christian cleric to help him speak to the Christian Community because the election was a “religious war” was leaked on Saturday.

Obienyem however said Obi was wiretaped and investigations are ongoing to see if he mentioned Interim National Government in any of his calls.

Fingering who he described as “our prodigal brother  from Nnewi”, Obienyem said the tape of the conversation with Oyedepo was doctored.

“I heard they  set up a Committee  made up of some Communications experts, headed by our prodigal brother  from Nnewi.  They are reviewing all calls Obi made in the last three years, and especially now to see if he mentioned Interim Government or anything that will make them prosecute him for treason when and if they take over.

“Till now, they are yet to see any. 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,” Obienyem wrote on Facebook.
