, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and David Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, was leaked to the public by People’s Gazette. In the audio clip, Mr Obi asked Mr Oyedepo to help spread his message to Christians in the South-west and parts of North-central. Addressing him as “daddy”, the LP’s standard-bearer told Mr Oyedepo that the just concluded presidential election was a “religious war.
Mr Obi’s critics have accused him of playing a politics of ethnicity and religion ahead of Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election, which he lost but has challenged in court. He denies this, asking critics to provide evidence. The leaked file appears to have substantiated the position of the critics.Many supporters of Mr Obi monitored on microblogging sites Twitter and Facebook have dismissed the audio as deepfake, a term used to describe doctored clips generated with artificial intelligence tools.
In the tweets, he accused the All Progressive Congress of trying to twist the narrative of the telephone conversation, saying “it is not surprising that these political criminals are trying to spin the conversation as if Obi was making a religious statement.” He also accused the APC of beginning what appears to be the religious battle of the ballots by running a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in a religiously diverse country.
“All these are meant to serve no other purpose than egregious mischief aimed at demarketing Peter Obi; if the goal is to create a credibility problem, the ploy has failed woefully,” Mr Onifade said, also describing the audio as deepfake. “Peter Obi has long been on record as the only presidential candidate who has urged the Nigerians electorate not to vote for him on the basis of religion or tribe.
Many believed Mr Obi’s consistent lobby of Christians worked and helped him pull over 6 million votes. Many religious leaders had been seen openly campaigning for him and urging their followers to ensure the Muslim-Muslim candidate was humiliated on Election Day. Including the famous Paul Enenche of Dunamis, a number of faith leaders have also insisted the poll was rigged against Mr Obi and that Mr Tinubu holds a stolen mandate.
“Nobody had ever told me what to say in this world. No. I have never campaigned for anybody or spoken on anybody’s behalf and I will not do that till I go to heaven,” Mr Oyedepo said.
A religion bigot like obi and oyedapo cannot rule Nigeria, Allaah will never give them success.
A country of pain
What people don't know about this call saga is that the recording is fake not that the call was never made. Both men had a phone conversation that last more than what was posted, a lot of parts were cut off and the edited parts were put together to portray a different
Twelve days from now we will be called upon to make very hard choices. It won’t be about tribe or religion; it won’t be about traditional sentiments of my turn. It will be about National Interest. PeterObi 🇳🇬
I used to like him but, dislike him for using such language

We are not interested! Keep your lies to yourself!
U sef when spend money for court abi? Just dey report trash
Obi needs to learn politics wella.
These kind of news are always funny. Who leaked the audio?🤷🏾♂️
The funny thing with press be say una no too get sense. How a whole eloquent Oyedepo go dey repeat phrase like that Lagos train wey dem dey push? Make all of una getat
These are the real issues they want you to stop talking about. 1. Bola Tinubu's Drug Case, and $460,000 Forfeiture 2. 25% in FCT 3. Forged Certificate 4. INEC not following its guidelines 5. Shettima's Double Nomination 6. Election Rigging, etc Stay Focused 📌💯
Coming from people that hired fake bishop
So you people cannot make an investigative research before coming out to exhibit shameful nature of a flawed journalism? The world is watching.
Mumu go and sleep 😴 you’re sick ni
Where is the doctored audio sef
Please don't beg when the lawyers come calling, enough of the madness
you gets the context? I need you to speak to 'your' people not 'our' people. hmmm
It's better than arranging fake bishops
Pls what about money for fuel? Listen to the discussion carefully.

Small drug case for court premium times is looking for Dorty for peter obi bag. Una go still answer for court.
That's why God knocked him out
I don't even care how these northerners, interpret the fake voice call. However, breeze don blow,fowl yansh don open.All the yen yen yen, northern block votes is all a ruse.Middle belt,pulling out from Arewa, will further expose dem as minority, with just land mass. Una go learn
Oyedepo lule ni kwara
Wowu
Nonsense....you people don't have tangible thing to report as news....junk journalism... You guys can't even do investigative journalism like David Hundeyin
We must restore our mandate forget cock and bull stories of APC
We won't forget!
Tinubu is a drug heroin seller! That is the news you bigoted paper!
We're in court dear country People. No amount of lies, fake audio will remove the hard facts!
What is wrong if he tells Oyedepo to help me tell the church members to vote for him? Did he kill anybody? Is he a drug dealer like Tinubu? Did he pick a Christian as vice president like APC? Did he speak against Muslims? You people are tryin so hard to tarnish his gud mage
Doctored Rubbish 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine, 'Your people in the south-west', Somebody who aspires to become Nigeria's president. Even if you are Obidients, that doesn't mean you shd not condemn wrong doings from ur leaders. They might be wrong sometimes. But Harrrrrd.
Nothing wrong when Babajide, Governor of Lagos visited Oyedepo few days to governorship election.
B_ELRUFAI Hmmmm
The are more devilish than who they are fighting.
This propaganda don die na, it’s obvious you are very slow like explorer.
It was a deep fake manipulation on a tapped call.
Paid useless media house. You never talked about Muslim Muslim ticket, Tinubu forged certificates, rigged elections etc. God will punish everyone of you that support evil. I bet most of you working there are all Christians. Shame on you. Unfollowing
I’ve lost the little respect I have left for this god of men Oyedepo. I’ve never really liked his style coz he’s part of the people that brought religious division into Yoruba land. We Yorubas didn’t really see our religious differences until the likes of Oyedepo started such…
Is people won't be slaughtered again by bandits and Boko Haram working for APC...is that not a good reason to support a candidate?

Fake news
....and so what If its not working then let the east take their stands okay
Yes, Daddy.
is the number 1 peddler of fake news in Nigeria today.
Fake Audio, Fake News Failed propaganda
Brawn envelop reporting as usual, abeg park well!
😆😆😆😆
Just like Atiku that want to enrich his friends; Obi - If this works, you people will never regret the support’ . This words is pregnant but unfortunately it has ended in stillbirth.
I'm sure this blog is fake as the audio voice
You people have never reported the Tinubu drug case even when it appears it was true,.
We dodged a devastating weapon of Mass destruction by not voting PeterObi
Let's meet in court
Yeye stomach infrastructure newspaper
That is the one of the reasons he will never govern Nigeria. Obi is a religion war monger.
Churches wake up take back your country,we don't know it's a religious war,if we had know you guys go collect woto woto the votes will comes in millions and millions,each votes we cast we will shout Allahu akbar cause it's a jihad something 😁🤣🤣
The audio is heavily manipulated, cut and joins (thus fake) as it is not a reflection of the actual conversation with Bishop. Anyone that heard it could easily tell it's fake. Obi has used 'religious' and 'war' in different settings multiple times so it's easy to cut and join.
If they kill Muslims they way Christians have died I don’t think this will be a topic to discuss about…
Did Daddy even win his polling unit at Omu-Aran, Kwara State?
Doesn't add up
Even premium time can’t verify information before publishing it. fakeNesw
democracy_watch
God isn't their mate,he exposed them because he's a respecter of no man. Only God knows how much he dropped to get the man of God's support, these are the rulers of Nigeria underneath.
So you also.a useless handle
😡😡😡😡❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌
Of course. We would not have reason to regret PO presidency because justice and equity would be given a chance. Are we not regretting the past eight years? And with a muslim/Muslim ticket, it has become an existential concern. So Daddy was and is right.
APC said the muslim-muslim ticket is a call to Jihad and we kept quiet. What is wrong in asking for Christian votes? Are you not aware that Nigeria is already in a Religious WAR? What is the work of BOKO HARAM? 🤡🤡
FAKE NEWS carried by Premium Times sponsored by a drug baron.
If only you report the TinubuTheDrugDealer drug case with this same frequency.
Funny how Obidient finds this clap back difficult to handle. Na Gbas we still give, ordinary Gbos, una never return.
You carrying fake News about, Was Obi not in Shiloh with Oyedepo, he said with him in front. Was Obi not with Oyedepo during Paul eneche daughter wedding
Take a back seat. This is now over regurgitated. 🤮
Write it in Capital Letters zombies
What kind of useless bank is dis?Debited me 4 over 3days now. Msg dem on all their social media channels;no response. Just got to the branch dugbe(Ibadan) where I opened my account & to my amazement, I was told they are not working today cos their generator is bad. stanbicIBTC
Yes Daddy, Go to Court 📌
Obi is a religious bigot. God no dey support evil. Shame
Do you need a prophet to tell that , that Audio was Fake? According to the audio, Obi is asking Oyedepo for help on Friday night then Saturday morning is election. When would Oyedepo get to the people in southern? Obi voted at Agulu not onisha as claimed by Propagandists
What is so special about what he said, beside APC field Muslim-muslim candidate and you said it's not a religious war, abeg go rethink
Peter Obi is your incoming Daddy.
PETER OBI IS A RELIGIOUS FANATICS and ETHNIC BIGOT. HE WANTED TO USE THE SEAT OF PRESIDENT TO FIGHT RELIGIOUS/ETHNIC WAR AGAINST UNSUSPECTING NIGERIANS IN OTHER FAITHS and TRIBES. OYEDEPO AND OBASANJO ARE ACCOMPLICE. Thank God he didn't win
you are pushing the narrative to push Nigeria into war, you will be packed along with the enemies of Nigeria.
Buhari in 2011 APC in 2014 did waste than this Make Una go sleep Yeye people
How can presidential candidate make a call at the Eve of an election canvassing for votes. All the campaigns he did no do him. Make it make sense.
Unholy man!
A case of burning the COUNTRY to discredit a man..... The question I'll ask d compromise media is what cost?.... Obtain a warrant,officially request 4 d audio & put this illegality to rest stop spreading FAKE. & doctored news.
A dangerous man
EmmyAfrika Fake news. Rest 🌚

Thank you Daddy
The president elect is no where to be found!!! Some people are just trying to entertain us!!! Don’t be offended oh where is the president elect Don’t we have right to demand for our next president Nah from other countries he wen stay dey rule us?
Platforms that could not interogate claims against or publish what concerned Tinubu negatively have as usual found their voices because it's an Obi. Our media is another major problem to Nigeria and Nigerians
you are useless for reporting what the accused has said is false and a propaganda. That's why the media is intimidated because you people have accepted envelop
Larger portion of Nigerian resources would've gone into their purse
If news trend finish you go post your own. I know I can see corn in your studio Shaa.
Nigerians are tired of your LIES Tired of your MANIPULATIONS Tired of your Bigotry Tired of your Failure & Corruption PeterObi is a scam Nigerians are fortunate to have dodged his evil intentions!
Yes Daddy,Obi is a fraud...
My Daddy. There daddy
That I used to assign credibility to this newspaper is even surprising me!
Keep capping rubbish.
I thought it should be Breaking News, first heard on , why are you coming late?
I don't care how it will happen but honestly, Nigeria is heading for doom and we need a true leader to salvage this situation
This is not journalism. This is the synopsis of a ghost call for the benefit of phantom ghost actors seeking to smear an innocent and release Barrabas [Just as in Mark 15: 6-15. ]
Muslims are comfortable using a well-known christain cleric and christainity to make fun... When it turns the other way... let no one cry foul! First to attack dey sweet but...
All media houses against one person..mehn!!!..this fight is thicker than we thought... But we will remind them that they are mere mortals and we will reduce them to dust...
Obidient let's trend this 👇
Do you mean the YES DADDY convo?
APC where in a hurry to cook up a lie that they forgot to balance things properly...that trouble they're looking for, they'll get it!!
Wow! PT, how the credibility has fallen.
Oloribuku newspaper You will never be we'll
Check very well, who owns premium times. We do understand the game more than Apc. Just playing along the gallery, I can't work this time. The good people of Nigeria will take it to the finally conclusion and the mandate will be giving to PO
PETER OBI WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY.
Yes Daddy
The now day break for premium wasteful times?
Fake and adulterated voice from Apc. Outdated, misplaced priority when Nigerians are concern. We want Nigeria to be a better place for our children
2 failures, if that is your mission in Nigeria you guys will continue loosing till thy kingdom come. Do you see that puppet politician who called himself a pastor, has never preach peace. They supposed to be arrested.
Next please
We should also go through call logs of all front runner presidential aspirants.
Old news...mtcheeew
Yes Daddy
Propagandist
What difference does it make It is in any way incriminating. The same way OfficialAPCNg brought in Muslim-Muslim ticket in a country with diverse religious settings and it was accepted by those whose got interest in it. officialABAT flew from Imam to Imam, Peter has right.
This balloon has already been shot down. Try another.
Premium Evening Nyansh papers You NEVER disappoint☺️
Tinubu and APC are the one causing religious war not Peter Obi. Muslim - Muslim ticket is a religious war if you don't know. See you in court!!!!
Is it now you people want to start your own propaganda? I think it's getting stale now.
Fake pastor
Nigeria has become a sick, abnormal, and insane country since the APC govt, nothing is working again. 'Religious war' or what ever u call is should be channeled to the APC govt.take a look, President/Vice SELECT muslims, Buhari, senate, speaker, Army,police, DSS,CJN, all Muslims
Dear APC, Leave Propaganda and face the real issues. 1. Bola Tinubu's 1993 Narcotics Trafficking, Money Laundering Case and the $460,000 Forfeiture. 2. 25% in FCT. 3. Forged Certificate. 4. INEC not following its guidelines. 5. Shettima's Double Nomination. 6. Election rigging
Ur problem. No news in many days?
Premium, Premium. Una well done.
Religion war indeed
Fake News!!!!!!!
Peter Obi is our daddy. We love him and no amount of your rubbish can stop him.
Keep reporting this till eternity. We know you. Kindly report the suspension of the guy who released the purported call. Ndi mgbu.
Fools you can hold him down fools fools fools
So is very easy to track the voice of Peter obi and oyedipo but you people can not track the voice of people supplying weapons to booko haram and other government officials doing evil
You mean the one APC used artificial intelligence to manufacture. Una dey ment we must regain our mandate
Yes Daddy
It’s a propaganda. Let’s divert our energies to talk on how Nigeria will one day conduct free and fair elections. This orchestrated propaganda it’s to divert the attention of Nigerians from the just manipulated presidential election which produce pseudo president elect.
Useless fake news, please try again with something truthful, Nigerian youths are smarter than this ..
y do u want to crusify obi now in 2015 APC claimed theyre k*lling muslims came to S/W for support after gaining power they started doing dsame thing if u had tackled d security prob y will some1 use that to campaigne so still its govt failure
Yes Daddy
Though the audio is fake but I insist that Muslim Muslim ticket is a religion war against the nation especially with boko harem terrorist Shettima Bin Ladin RestoreOurMandateINEC TinubuLeaveYorubasAlone Tinubu4Prison TinubuIsADrugDealer
Campaign era is over , APC should wake up! They can't divert our attention out if the main subject matter. It's over for them.
Nna nkea ka ndi ocha na akpo , the last kick of a dying horse. Hahaha....they have run out of propaganda & are disgracing themselves. The worst part of it is that the veterans that supposed to be role model to you young journalists are at the forefronts of the nzuzubility.
Yes Daddy 🤣🤣🤣
The country has been in a state of war percieved to either tribal or religious for years because of the selfish ambitions of criminal politicians. Too much blood of innocent Nigerians begging for justice
Again, what’s the truth? Are you pro life or pro choice? Who did you vote for? Are you willing to find out who is truly the sibling keepers among you order sellouts AmongYou?
The North has indeed been in a state of religious war with boko haram for years now, can that be a topic of discussion? The killings in southern Kaduna which is Christian dominated region? We all cannot be fooled in this country.
FACT-CHECK: Is the Trending Phone Conversation of Peter Obi and Oyedepo a Deepfake?
Imagine having a president that thinks politics is a ‘religious war’. May Peter Obi never be even a counselor ever again in this country. Those kind of terrorist should be far from corridors of power. No wonder that other terrorist hijacked a plane shouting Obidiots Obidiots.
Premium collect ur share
Poor reporting
Yes daddy....
