Former Chairperson of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Board, Mrs. Lauretta Onochie, has called for the arrest of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
Onochie is urging the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) to detain Obi, alleging that he is inciting violence in the country.
According to the former presidential aide, Obi is attempting to fuel violence through his supporters following his defeat in the 2023 presidential election. Onochie expressed bewilderment at how someone who finished third in the poll could exhibit such desperation to become President.
She made this call through her social media account in response to a video posted by Abubakar Sidiq Usman.
“Attn: @OfficialDSSNG,@PoliceNG I think it’s high time you pulled this clown,” she wrote.
Onochie pointed out that following the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President, Dr. Datti Baba Ahmed, who is Peter Obi’s running mate, along with others she referred to as “unpatriotic angry birds,” have purportedly been encouraging young people to engage in acts of violence.
“But our noble and patriotic youth completely ignored them, because sensible youth in Nigeria are more in number than his headless mob,” she said.
“This man, @PeterObi, continues to instigate his headless and consequently, brainless followers to a violent change of government. I have never seen a more desperate individual.
“There’s something sinister and ominous about a man who came 3rd in a race and wants to be declared the winner, AT ALL COST!
“I think it’s high time he was pulled in to answer a few questions. Nigerians want to know why Peter Obi is this desperate.
“Pull him in, the heavens will not fall,” she said.
