Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has been exposed as an incurable and dangerous liar, following his fresh claim that a Tinubu support group has told Yoruba people not to support his aspiration.
As internet policemen have found out, the post Obi claimed emanated from a Tinubu group, actually came from one of the rabid IPOB supporters, now supporting him.
The post was traced to Powell Glad Legbe, who first made the concocted post on 5 September.
It was appropriated by Obi many days later, claiming it was posted by a Tinubu group.
In truth, from his past posts, Legbe is an IPOB activist, who like many others, has abandoned the cause of Biafra and is now supporting Peter Obi.
Peter Obi’s lie triggered a medley of reactions Monday.
Reno Omokri, an Atiku supporter wrote: Now that Bola Tinubu’s campaign has OFFICIALLY denied and disclaimed the WhatsApp broadcast Peter Obi claimed is from them, and which asked Yorubas not to vote for Peter, because he will build a sea port in the South-South (which already has 5 ports), can Peter Obi now tell Nigerians who sent him that broadcast? 
“It is very important, because Peter made very damaging allegations against BAT. This is one lie that cannot be ignored, because of the damage it does to ethno-religious relationships in Nigeria and can ignite ethnic unrest. Peter, where did you get your bogus message from?”
The APC debunked the message, according to spokesman, Festus Keyamo.
The purported message according to Mr Obi forewarned the Yoruba that a vote for Obi would be a vote for a seaport in the South South and South East.
“We vehemently deny the existence of such group . All groups supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Shettima have clear designations.
“As the take off date of the campaigns draw closer, Mr Peter Obi has suddenly realized that Nigerians are beginning to burst his bubble as his messages are bereft of ideas , depth and clear cut solutions to our challenges.
“His messages are only full of false data and highfalutin jargon in what is clearly a disingenuous ruse to distract a scrutiny of his empty records as governor of Anambra state and nothing else, hence his recourse to playing ethnic card and fanning the ember of hate.”
“Peter, you are nothing but a LIAR”, wrote Femi Fani-Kayode, another APC spokesman.
“The name of the individual whose whatssap message you publicised on your mendacious & childish video, which I have posted here, is Powell Glad Legbe who is not only an Igbo but also a racist, hate-filled reprobate & delusional delinquent who despises the Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani & Ijaw & who is close to you.
“That is why you covered his name and did not want it mentioned in your video.
“You now lied & attempted to pass him off as a member of the Tinubu Support Group & a Yoruba man when you knew very well that this was not the case.
“Based on this alone it is clear that you are a very dangerous, deceitful and dishonest man who is brimming with mendacity and who is attempting to spark off a tribal war between the Igbo on the one hand and the Yoruba and rest of Nigeria on the other.
“That is what your video was trying to achieve & by God’s grace you shall fail.
You ended by saying that Tinubu is “not well” & that he is a sick man meanwhile you that sound like an Egyptian eunuch when u talk is not only sick in the mind but also sick in body,spirit & soul.
“Your sickness has deluded you into thinking that you can be President when deep down you know that you do not have a hope in hell of winning even up to 10% of the vote in ANY state. I hereby warn you to mind what you say, act your age & stop attempting to create ethnic, racial & religious divisions in our country lest we name you as a closet secessionist who is not fit to be considered as a patriot, a national figure or a serious presidential candidate & who hates anything or anyone that is not from your part of the country”.
