Peter Obi, Bishop Oyedepo Given 3 Days To Confirm Or Deny ‘Yes Daddy’ Leaked Audio

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has asked Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, and Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, to confirm or deny the authenticity of the viral leaked audio allegedly involving both of them.

Obi was heard in the leaked audio clip, which has sparked various reactions across the country, pleading with Oyedepo to encourage Christians in the South-West and Kwara State to vote for him in the presidential election, noting that the election was a religious war.

“Daddy, I need you to speak to your people in the South-West and Kwara, the Christians in the South-West and Kwara. This is a religious war,” Obi allegedly said in the audio conversation.

However, the LP made contradictory statements about the clip’s authenticity.

Valentine Obienyem, the head of Obi’s media team, stated on Monday that the leaked audio conversation between his principal and Oyedepo was edited out of context.

Diran Onifade, spokesman for the Obi-Datti media office, described the audio as “deeply fake” and accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to demarket Obi.

Kenneth Okonkwo, the LP campaign’s spokesperson, said the clip was genuine.

MURIC’s Executive Director, Ishaq Akintola, in a statement, issued on Wednesday, gave the Obi and Oyedepo three days to confirm, or deny the clip’s authenticity.

The statement reads: “The leaked audio tape of a conversation between the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has gone viral.

“In the leaked telephone conversation which occurred on the eve of the February 25, 2023, presidential election, Peter Obi was heard saying, ‘Yes Daddy’ to every remark made by the bishop. The LP presidential candidate called the election a ‘religious war’ to which the bishop replied ‘I believe that’. Peter Obi also told the bishop, ‘Like I keep saying if this works, you people will never regret the support.’

“MURIC urges the duo of LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi and the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, to confirm or deny the authenticity of the leaked audio tape within three days.”
