Hundeyin said, he was “informed from the highest level of the Labour Party why Obi didn’t outrightly call for Tinubu’s resignation”.
In his press statement on Wednesday 11 October, 2023, Peter Obi called for President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu “to re-introduce yourself to the nation you govern and the world”, however, he did not call for the resignation of the nation’s leader.
Hundeyin quoted his initial tweet where he expressed his dissatisfaction at Peter Ob’s press conference and commented: “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”
Hundeyin further said: “Personally if I were Obi, I would be actively daring the regime to arrest me if they dare, given the type of support there is, but that’s why he’s a billionaire running for president and I’m a journalist with a UNHCR reference number.
“I know nothing at all.”
