One again Peter obi is proving to Nigerians that he is a man of integrity who will not deny his actions. But this assurance is not going down well with some Nigerians.
Again, the internet is buzzing. Peter Obi, Oyedepo and Kenneth Okonkwo, persons strongly connected to that ‘Yes Daddy’ audio, are trending with rage.
It is like Peter Obi awakened a sleeping lion and Twitter is alive again.
Influencers and people who want to have their say or expressing their mind on the matter firing the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the just concluded 2023 elections.
Peter Obi, a man they had described as ‘a man of his words: Go and verify’, had once again proved to them that he is a man of his words, but that ‘Yes Daddy’ conversation with the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, is still not sitting well.
The former Governor of Anambra State, on Monday night appeared in an interview with Arise Television.
During the said interview, Obi admitted phoning Oyedepo.
‘Not My Words’
The LP flagbearer, however, debunked describing the presidential election as a ‘religious war.’
He stresses that he did not at any time during his conversation with the cleric refer to the election as a religious war.
Obi maintains that he is not an ethnic/religious bigot, as he sponsors many Muslim residents in Onitsha on pilgrimages to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Could it be AI-voiced?

However, some Nigerians took to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter to express their views regarding the confirmation of the phone call between Obi and Oyedepo.
See some of the reactions below:
Peter Obi admits on AriseTV he made that call to Bishop oyedepo but claims it was taken out of context.

Peter Obi’s response to the audio leak between him and Bishop Oyedepo is just another proof that the conversation took place.
He was a governor for 8 years in Anambra and he caused a rift between the Catholics and Anglicans till date.

Well, we know that a lot happens on the earth these days. Indeed, you could soon lose your voice to Artificial Intelligence without your consent.
Only recently, a man, who won an art competition, refused his prize because his art was AI-generated (CNN).
Whether Obi will go to court to get to the root of the matter, Nigerians are waiting.
We know you are waiting too. Thanks for reading.
