    Presidency plotting to arrest Obi with trumped-up allegations, Tanko alleges

    **Onanuga allegation meant to prepare grounds

    The Peter Obi Media Reach, (POMR) has raised the alarm over plots by the presidency to set up the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi through trumped-up charges to have him arrested.

    One of the spokespersons of President Bola Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga had accused Obi of masterminding a planned protest in the country.
    However, the spokesperson of POMR, Yunusa Tanko described the allegation as wild, wicked and baseless adding that it is a decoy and a make believe to enable them achieve the plan to arrest Obi.
    “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 carried on without calling anybody name.

    Tanko said they are 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 to hear his voice on issues.
    “These spineless 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 suiting balm in the current turbulent political and economic environment.

    “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 removal 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.”
