Peter Obi Offers To Fulfill Dele Farotimi's Bail Conditions

Labour Party presidential candidate in 2023 and two- time governor of Anambra State, Peter Gregory Obi, has offered to fulfill the bail conditions of human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi.
Farotimi was granted N30 million bail by an Ekiti Magistrate Court in a controversial criminal defamation suit involving ChiefAfe Babalola, SAN.
Apart from the N30 million bond, the court also ruled that there must be two sureties (one of whom must own a house), even as the defendant must  surrender his passport to the couurt. Farotimi was furthermore barred from granting media interviews.
However, a statement by Obi's former Presidential Campaign Spokesman, Yunusa Tanko, through his X  account on Friday, noted that his principal had offered to stand surety for Farotimi.
According to Tanko, Obi, as a proponent of the rule of law, wanted the issue resolved in a way that respects legal processes and benefits all the parties involved.
His words, "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.
“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."
