Peter Obi, Datti-Ahmed, your moves are treasonable - Lai Mohammed

The Nigerian Minister of Information Lai Mohammed has accused Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his running mate in the just concluded election, Datti Ahmed of treasonable action. He noted this, while speaking to journalists in Washington DC in the United States.

He pointed out that the duo, were inciting people to violence over the outcome of the presidential elections, which he said is treasonable.

Lai Mohammed categorically posted out that, it is wrong for Peter Obi on one hand to seek redress in court of law over the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, and on the other hand, incite people to violence.

“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 election,” he said.
