Leaked ‘Yes Daddy’ Audio: Peter Obi Finally Confesses To Phoning, Begging Bishop Oyedepo, Denies Saying ‘Religious War’ - Legit Reporters

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, had confirmed that the audio was authentic.

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has admitted having a private phone conversation with the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo before the 2023 general elections.

Obi, who made the admission on Monday while featuring on Arise News interview, however, denied tagging the recently concluded presidential election a “religious war.”

The audio had trended when it was published by an online newspaper, Peoples Gazette.

SaharaReporters had reported that in the leaked phone conversation, Oyedepo prayed for Obi, saying, “In Jesus’ name, we are going to get a bright tomorrow,” with Obi replying by saying, “When I hear these prayers, it is very dear to me and like I keep saying, if this thing works, you people will never regret the support.''

Continuing the conversation, Oyedepo had said, “We look forward to God’s intervention,” to which Obi responded by saying, “Thank you, Daddy. I need you to speak to your people in the Southwest and Kwara. The Christians in the Southwest and Kwara.” Bishop Oyedepo said: “Okay.”

Obi had continued by saying, “This is a religious war,” with Oyedepo responding immediately, “I believe you, I believe that. You know, I did a release, ‘Nigeria going forward’ and I’m coming out with the second one today.”

On Monday, responding to a question on the leaked audio conversation, Obi said, “Call it whatever you want to call it. Whatever anyone wants to make of it. I am not a religious bigot. Do you think I can just pick a phone and say ‘religious war’?

“No, I was even begging the bishop to help me ask his people to vote, which was what I was doing for six months – begging. I wasn’t saying ‘catch him’, ‘kill him’, ‘force it’. I was even begging. That shows that I continued to look for votes by begging. There were so many things we tried to do but they were not okay.
