Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR, has raised the alarm of a grand plan to arrest their principal and the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi using the allegation of planning protest.
JOURNALIST101 recalls that the Special Adviser to the president on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had alleged that Obi’s supporters are the masterminds of the protest and he should be held responsible for any anarchy thereof.
However, in it’s reaction, POMR through their spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, said “report from good and reliable authority that these unsubstantiated allegations are being orchestrated to arrest Obi, limit his freedom and association and stop his propagation for good governance which they find injurious to their lavish lifestyle.
Yinusa in a statement released on Saturday, stressed that “Peter Obi by his mien in and out of political office has not in any way shown or been associated with violence even in the most obvious provocations.”
The statement reads;
Obi Media says, Protest Allegation is a Set up to Arrest their Principal*
The attention of the Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR has been drawn to the wild, wicked and baseless allegations by one of the Spokespersons in the Presidency, Bayo Onanuga accusing the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi of being the mastermind of a planned protest in the country.
The statement even said that Obi should be held responsible for any mayhem that may occur in the protest.
But POMR can report from good and reliable authority that these unsubstantiated allegations are being orchestrated to arrest Obi, limit his freedom and association and stop his propagation for good governance which they find injurious to their lavish lifestyle.
Peter Obi by his mien in and out of political office has not in any way shown or been associated with violence even in the most obvious provocations.
He has always shown even during the electioneering that he is issue-driven as he carries on without calling anybody’s name.
POMR is also aware that multiple attack dogs have been hired and strategically deployed to ensure that Obi does not enjoy the ear of the Nigerian populace who are keen on hearing his voice on issues.Â
These spine doctors and hirelings, to justify their pay, indulge in all kinds of falsehood ostensibly to distract Obi and confuse Nigerians who already see Obi as a soothing balm in the current turbulent political and economic environment.Â
All the problems real and imagined created by their insensitivity and lavish lifestyle they have curiously tried to link to Obi.
Notable challenges of the administration which are a consequence of their actions and inactions like fuel subsidy fallouts, growing poverty in the land, inflation, nepotism and unresolved historical conflicts among others they blame all on Obi.
POMR therefore wish to urge Nigerians to ignore the Presidency’s cheap blackmail as Obi and the Obidient family all over the country and in the diaspora remain resolute in their search for a new Nigeria that is POssible and would not be cowed or be made to lose focus.
