The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has criticized the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, over allegations of inciting a post-election insurrection.

At a press conference in Washington DC, Mohammed reportedly warned Obi to desist from stoking violence over the results of the recently held presidential election.

Obi however took to Twitter to denounce the allegations.

According to Obi, those initiating the actions have increasingly used their official positions and agents to make false allegations against him.
