Peter Obi has offered to fulfil the bail conditions for the release of human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi.
Farotimi was granted bail by an Ekiti Magistrate Court in a defamation case involving Afe Babalola.
The bail conditions require a N30 million bond, two sureties (one of whom must own a house), surrendering his passport, and refraining from granting media interviews.
However, in a statement shared on Friday via his X account, a former spokesperson for Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, Tanko Yunusa, explained that Obi, as a proponent of the rule of law, wanted the issue resolved in a way that respects legal processes and benefits everyone involved.
He said, “I consulted His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the leader of the Obidient Movement. As a respecter of rule of law, due process, and order, he offered to take Dele Farotimi on the bail conditions,” Yunusa stated.
“His concern is that the situation be resolved in the best interest of all parties and our legal system. He extended his sincere appreciation to all concerned.”
