    Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has pledged to fulfill the bail conditions 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 ₦30 million bond, two sureties (one of whom must own a house), surrendering his passport, and refraining from granting media interviews.
    Peter Obi’s decision was announced by Tanko Yunusa, a former spokesperson for Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, in a statement shared on Friday via his X account.

    “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.
    He further conveyed Obi’s gratitude to the courts and others involved in the matter. “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,” Yunusa added.
