According to reports, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has acknowledged the authenticity of the viral audio conversation between him and Bishop David Oyedepo.

However, during an interview with News Central TV, Kenneth Okonkwo, who serves as Peter Obi's spokesperson, was asked about the meaning behind his principal's reference to the presidential election as a 'religious war' in the audio.

In response to the inquiry, Kenneth Okonkwo stated that those who questioned Obi's alleged comment about a religious war failed to recall that he had also mentioned visiting the Muslim king of Offa in Kwara State during the same audio recording.

Around the 27:20 minute mark of a video posted on YouTube, Okonkwo remarked, "To those who are claiming that this was a religious statement, they seem to have forgotten that my principal also mentioned visiting the traditional ruler of Offa who happens to be a Muslim in that same conversation.

It's absurd that someone would interpret a politician's plea for votes as a religious statement. Let me reiterate that I am neither confirming nor denying anything. Nonetheless, after listening to the conversation, I am even prouder of my principal."
