PRESS RELEASE:
MURIC
TO OBI, OYEDEPO: CONFIRM OR DENY ‘YES DADDY’ TAPE
One of Nigeria’s human
rights organisations, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has urged the
presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and the founder of
the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, to confirm or deny the
authenticity of a leaked audio tape now popularly called ‘Yes Daddy’. MURIC
said it wants to give the duo fair hearing before interrogating the contents of
the audio.
The human rights
advocacy group said this in a statement issued on Wednesday, 5th
April, 2023 by its Executive Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola.
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.”
