Festus Keyamo has only exposed APC’s plan to assassinate Peter Obi – Labour Party

Labour Party (LP) has said Festus Keyamo has only exposed plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to assassinate Peter Obi.

Keyamo, the APC presidential campaign spokesman, had accused Obi of stage-managing an attempt at his life.

But in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Arabambi Abayomi, said Keyamo has only exposed a plan to assassinate LP’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

“The attention of Labour Party has once again been drawn to the most bizarre and unprecedented desperation of APC led administration through their presidential Campaign Spokeperson, Mr Festus Keyamo, who raises false narratives about our party presidential candidate Mr Peter Gregory Obi of an attempt to fake a self assassination attempt against his own life.

“No one is confused by the APC through Festus Keyamo’s open pre-crime alibi. No one is fooled enough to buy into the very sadistic attempt to create a confusing narrative ahead of committing a felony.”

“Labour party considered this devilish act by the APC presidential spokesman as not only deceitful but a subtle way to gain unmerited sympathy in their bogus attempt at employing crude primitive tactics clandestinely in order to win the 2023 presidential election through fraudulent means.

“Festus Keyamo’s provocative and highly disparaging insinuation against our Presidential candidate would have been ignored with its puerile contents but it’s expedient to set the record straight for the benefits of the public and our party members.

“Festus Keyamo in a fabricated and very misleading press statement claimed he was responding to a non-existent false rumour that Peter Obi plans to ‘stage – manage’ an “assassination attempt” on himself is alarming and very frightening and it leaves no room to doubt the implications of the claim as it is like a self-confession by the APC in its plan to assassinate the LP Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi,” the statement added.
