Government looking for grounds to arrest Peter Obi - David Hundeyin

Investigative journalist, David Hundeyin has revealed that the ruling government is looking for grounds to arrest Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

He said this on Wednesday, October 11, following a comment he made on his X page earlier that Peter Obi should have called on Tinubu to come clean and resign.

Shortly after Peter Obi held a press conference in Abuja, asking President Bola Tinubu to re-introduce himself to Nigerians and the world, David Hundeyin expressed his disappointment at Obi's call out.

He was of the view that Peter Obi missed the opportunity to make a strong statement with his presser.

Hundeyin said; "Peter Obi missed an opportunity this morning.

What he should have called for was for Tinubu to come clean and resign, not whatever that was.

The point of a press conference is to generate a strong headline and a lead story. What was the lead takeaway from here?"

His post attracted several comments from supporters of Obi who also agreed with his stance.

However, Hundeyin took to his X page to disclose that he has been informed on the reason why Peter Obi did not call for Tinubu's resignation.

According to him, someone from the highest level of the Labour Party said Obi was avoiding commenting on an issue which is currently in court and the regime is apparently looking for grounds to arrest him.

His post read;

"I've just been informed from the highest level of the Labour Party that there are 2 reasons why Peter Obi didn't outrightly call for Mr Tinubu's resignation/removal.

1. He was avoiding commenting on an issue in court
2. The regime is apparently looking for grounds to arrest him"

Peter Obi missed an opportunity this morning.

What he should have called for was for Tinubu to come clean and resign, not whatever that was.
