Oga Okonkwo for di tweet explain say Obi no dey encourage religious war as di ''oda party dey do''.
“Firstly, di context of di conversation dey aptly put by Bishop Oyedepo when e said, ‘All Nigerians get equal stake for dis nation, nobody get di right to claim say e dey dash something to someone’.
''H. E. Peter Obi dey simply urging di Bishop to help am push dis message of equal stake of all Nigerians for di Nigerian project to im pipo and di christiandom because di oda party dey carry on dis campaign as if na religious war"
E explain futher:
“To drive home dis point, e inform am say e bin visit di traditional ruler of Offa, di Olofa of Offa, wey be Muslim, but wey advised Obi to get di support of Oyedepo and be assured of im own support. No Politician ever go visit di Olofa of Offa. E dey clear to everybody say di APC political party wey get Presidential Candidate, Vice Presidential Candidate, Senate President, Speaker of di House of Representatives, Deputy Speaker of di House of Representatives, National Chairman of di Party all from one religion at a time di CJN be Muslim na di Party wey don declare religious war on Nigerians and we gatz all rise up together to fight dis unconstitutional act of religious intolerance of oda religions by APC.
“I went around with Obi on campaign train and never see am discriminate against any religion. Of course no fit cos im Vice na Muslim unlike APC. I resign from APC because of dia religious intolerance. Nigerians should disregard any insinuation of religious bigots about dis tape.”
