Festus Keyamo, the presidential campaign spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress, APC, says he is convinced Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, wants to cause religious crisis in the country by circulating hate message against Tinubu and failing to apologise for his action.
Keyamo, who was responding to a call by the LP on security agencies to place him on security watch, said:
“I also call on the security agencies in Nigeria to place Mr. Peter Obi and his some of his demented supporters on the terror watch lists for circulating an incendiary video with a fake message by one of his supporters called Powell Glad Legbe (on his Facebook page) calling on Yorubas not to vote for Peter Obi,” he said.
“Mr. Peter Obi then wrongly and wickedly attributed that quote to an amorphous ‘Tinubu group’. Up till now he has not withdrawn his accusation nor has he apologised to our candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“It is obvious Mr. Peter Obi wants to cause religious crises in the country and for this, I call on the security agencies to place Mr. Peter Obi on security watch or invite him for a thorough investigation. If necessary, I prepared to be invited too as a witness to prove my case against him.”
Keyamo had earlier alleged that Obi was planning to fake an assassination attempt by hiring hoodlums donning APC caps and T-shirts to attack his party offices.
Keyamo also accused the former governor of Anambra of stoking ethnic tensions and divisions in a viral video showing him saying that people have been asked not to vote for him in the south-west to malign Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the APC.
