Veteran actor, Charles Awurum has asked Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party who he is to be able to make people who rigged an election run helter-skelter.

In a video shared on social media, Charles who was demanding for answers from Peter Obi, said the election which is known to be rigged every election year with the citizens keeping mute has caused unsettled minds.

He said this following the numerous attacks being meted at Peter Obi after he declared his intentions to go to court to contest the process and outcome of the election.

The former governor of Anambra state recently was accused of treason by the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed over a leaked audio recording involving Peter Obi and Bishop Oyedepo of the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide.

Peter Obi said; “In the past few days, I have observed various campaigns of calumny directed at my person, with the latest being allegations attributed to the information Minister, Lai Mohammed from Washington DC.

“It is most unfortunate that these consistent efforts to portray me quite contrary to what I am, and my core values, is coming from such high quarters. Minister Lai accusing me of stoking insurrection is totally malicious and fictitious.

“I have never discussed or encouraged anyone to undermine the Nigerian state; I have never sponsored or preached any action against the Nigerian state. Those initiating these actions have increasingly used their official positions and agents to make false allegations against me.

“I am on record as always, advocating for peace and issue-based campaign and never campaigned based on ethnicity or religion. I am committed to due process, and presently seeking redress in the Court.”

"I urge those engaged in this demarketing process to stop presenting Nigeria in such bad light. Our future generations deserve a new Nigeria, where they can live a secure and decent life like their counterparts in other climes. It is possible," the statement added.

However, reacting to numerous allegations thrown at Peter Obi, the actor demanded to know who he is that has made the ruling party uneasy.
