PANDEF leader Edwin Clark calls for Lai Mohammed’s arrest, prosecution, gives reason
Elder statesman and leader of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark, has called for the arrest and prosecution of the minister of information and culture.
According to Clark, Lai Mohammed has been spreading what he called fake news against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, and it does not speak well of the office he represents in the polity.
Clark, the former federal commissioner for information and leader of the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF), described the minister’s job as disappointing.
Bishop Oyedepo's purported leaked call unnecessary
The Global Network for Sustainable Development (GNSD) described the controversy over the purported leaked telephone conversation between Peter Obi and Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church as unnecessary.
In a statement released on Tuesday, April 4, the convener of GNSD, Phil Roberts, said the group condemns in strong terms the unnecessary noise about the purported leaked audio conversation between Obi and Oyedepo.
Roberts confirmed that since Obi's team has discredited the said audio conversation, key political actors have continued to make bigoted statements in both the past and the present over the purported telephone conversation.
