Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR, has cried out over what it described as \u201cwild, wicked and baseless allegations\u201d by one of the spokespersons in the Presidency, Bayo Onanuga, accusing the Labour Party\u2019s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi of being the mastermind of a planned protest in the country.<\/p>\n

Onanuga, in a statement, said Obi should be held responsible for any mayhem that may occur in the protest.<\/p>\n

But in a statement signed by Yunusa Tanko,<\/p>\n

POMR spokesman, the group said it can report from good and reliable authority that the unsubstantiated allegations are being orchestrated to arrest Obi, limit his freedom and stop his propagation for good governance.<\/p>\n

The group said that Peter Obi, by his mien in and out of political office, has not in any way shown or been associated with violence even in the face of the most obvious provocations.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has always shown even during the electioneering that he is issue-driven as he carries on without calling anybody\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

\u201cPOMR is also aware that multiple attack dogs have been hired and strategically deployed to ensure that Obi does not enjoy the ear of the Nigerian populace who are keen on hearing his voice on issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese spin doctors and hirelings, to justify their pay, indulge in all kinds of falsehood ostensibly to distract Obi and confuse Nigerians who already see Obi as suiting balm in the current turbulent political and economic environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the problems real and imagined created by their insensitivity and lavish lifestyle they have curiously tried to link to Obi.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotable challenges of the administration which are a consequence of their actions and inactions like fuel subsidy fallouts, growing poverty in the land, inflation, nepotism and unresolved historical conflicts among others they blame all on Obi.<\/p>\n

\u201cPOMR therefore wish to urge Nigerians to ignore the Presidency\u2019s cheap blackmail as Obi and the Obidient family all over the country and in the Diaspora remain resolute in their search for a new Nigeria that is POssible and would not be cowed or be made to lose focus,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n
