The group's statement which was used against support for Peter Obi read:

“The United Christian Youth Forum of Nigeria hereby warn Nigerians to beware of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, who has assured his inner circuit that he shall run a Catholic government if mistakenly elected as President,” he said.

“He will exclude Pentecostals, Protestants, Muslims, Animists, Agnostics, and Atheists from having access to the dividends of democracy as if they are not humans. Yet, our Christian teaching is not to maltreat anyone on account of these differences.”

CDD investigation report read in part:

"Our analysis revealed that the group is shady and faceless. Our digital investigation showed that the group was set up for political reasons, and did not exist until November 2022, when it made its first statement about Obi."
