Obi accuses presidency of blackmail on planned protest

The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has rejected an attempt by the presidency to link him with the planned protest in the country.

He was reacting to a statement credited to the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, on the planned protests by a group of Nigerians on the current economic hardship in the country.

Onanuga had in a post on his verified X handle on Saturday, alleged that Obi’s supporters are behind the planned nationwide protests against the Federal Government.
