A socio-political activist, Deji Adeyanju on Wednesday said the purported leaked audio conversation between the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi and Bishop David Oyedepo was morally disgraceful.
Adeyanju said the leaked audio is also religiously scandalous.
He lamented that Obi’s comment was a war stimulant and capable of distorting the peace of Nigerians.
In a statement he signed, he rights activist said the leaked conversation painted Obi as a religious bigot.
The statement reads partly: “However, condemning the leakage in my humble opinion is totally separate and unconnected with analyzing the propriety of the contents of the publicized conversation in the spirit of patriotism.
“Using the binoculars of moral subjectivism, I submit that the entire conversation between the duo discussants is morally disgraceful and religiously scandalous, given the fact that it came at the instance of someone who claims to have unrivaled credibility to rule the country soliciting support from an accomplished man of God with massive religious assembly behind him. This is bigotry in its ugliest appearance.
“My logical submission on Peter Obi’s exploration to coup in the church to obtain mandate under a plausible apprehension that it is a ‘religious war’ is ugly and indecent. This statement is a war stimulant and capable of distorting public peace and order. Although, politicians will stop at nothing to secure victory at the polls, but at what cost to the Nation?
“As governor of Anambra, he was severally accused of religious bigotry by critics wherein they alleged that he ran a catholic supremacy in the state and that almost all sensitive government positions were reserved for members of his religious sect. Peter Obi is factually known for using all weapons available to him against anybody in order to achieve his objectives, not minding any imaginable destruction that could betide in the process, therefore, the revelation of this audio does not come as a surprise. He is a bigot, narcissistic being, self-absorbed personality and arbitrary.”
