IPOB Sit At Home: Why Is Peter Obi Trying To Be Clever And Deflecting Attention? – APC Throws Challenge

The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi to publicly condemn the alleged attack of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The PCC argued that instead of the LP flag bearer to condemn the actions of the secessionists he was being clever and trying to deflect attention from the current situation

Naija News recalls that on Monday, the Presidential Campaign Council of the LP had condemned the attack on INEC offices.

Chief Spokesperson of the LP PCC, Dr. Yunusa Tanko described the attacks as a larger plot to derail the 2023 general elections adding that it was worrisome that the attacks were more rampant in the South East.

Tanko said, “It is worrisome no doubt but we will not be deterred. We see this as an attempt to give the South East a bad name to give an impression that the people of the area don’t want elections to hold.

“This is a lie. We will continue to support INEC and the security services to ensure that this elections hold all over Nigeria.

When Vanguard contacted the Minister of State, Labour and Employment and Chief Spokesperson of the APC PCC, Festus Keyamo to share his opinion on the situation, he insisted that it is high time the LP flag bearer condemn the activities of the proscribed group in the South East.

Keyamo said; “These attacks have been on even before this period and Peter Obi knows this. It has become a pattern.

“Rather than Peter Obi calling out IPOB and condemning them for these acts, he is deflecting attention and being clever by half.

“There is one guy abroad who says he is now the leader of IPOB and telling people to sit at home. Where is Peter Obi’s condemnation of this foolish act that is the cause of these killings, in the guise of enforcing the sit-at-home?”
