Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has accused the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Baba Datti-Ahmed, of treason going by their comments about the outcome of the 2023 general elections.
Speaking for the government in Washington DC, United States, Lai Mohammed stated this during his official engagement with some international media organisations.
The minister cautioned the Labour Party flag bearers from inciting people to violence over the outcome of the Presidential elections.
He said: “Obi and his Vice, Datti Ahmed cannot be threatening Nigerians that if the President-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is sworn in on May 29, it will be the end of democracy in Nigeria.”
“This is treason. You cannot be inviting insurrection, and this is what they are doing. Obi’s statement is that of a desperate person, he is not a democrat that he claimed to be. A democrat should not believe in democracy only when he wins the election.”
