Reactions have trailed the confirmation of a private conversation between the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, and the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo.
OsunDaily News reported that the former Governor of Anambra State, on Monday night, admitted phoning Oyedepo when he appeared on a programme on Arise Television.
The LP flagbearer, however, debunked describing the presidential election as a โreligious warโ, stressing that he did not at any time during his conversation with the cleric refer to the election as a religious war.
He maintained that he is not an ethnic/religious bigot, stressing that he sponsors many Muslim residents in Onitsha on pilgrimages to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
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.
Now that Peter Obi confesses to have spoken with Oyedepo on phone regarding โyes daddyโ audio leak, those Obidiots that were out defending that, d audio wasnโt real should be weeping. We have said it b4 & we will say it again, religious b!got like Peter Obi will never president.

In just one interview, Peter Obi exposed himself again as a liar from the pit of hell that should never be taken serious for a minute.

A very simple question. Yet Obi kept dancing around without providing any succinct response. This is coming after he had claimed the โyes daddyโ audio conversation was fake and promised to sue @GazetteNGR. His lying culture is a national pandemic. pic.twitter.com/H3GoApi0Zf

I tried to defend this man few weeks ago when the โyes daddyโ audio leaked but he has just proven the opposite. He did have that conversation & you have the guts to come on National TV to say you are not a tribal/religious Bigot. Cmon Greg.

So obidiots are dodging the part where Peter Obi couldn’t deny the “yes daddy” audio even after threatening to sue PG,& where PO time travelled to the UK in 2025 according to him, but are fixated on his response to Lai?
We are dealing with mad & delusional people in this space.

If you were doubting that “Yes Daddy” leaked phone conversation before, this is your proof that it happened.
After all the huffing and puffing on Twitter, threatening People’s Gazette with a lawsuit.
Baba cannot answer a simple YES or NO to a direct question.

They have focused on the reply Peter Obi gave to Lai Mohammed since yesterday in order to cover for this SHAMEFUL reply to his YES DADDY audio.
Watch him admit to making that call๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
โ Wale Adedayo ๐๐ฐ (@Mario9jaa) May 2, 2023
Obi blatantly denied the โYes Daddyโ audio ever took place and threatened fire & brimstone on Peoples Gazette for accusing him wrongly in his usual performative outrage. Yesterday, he admitted the audio was real and he was taken out of context.
