Peter Obi faces post election battles

Since the February 25 presidential election, Nigerians have been waking up to one news or another concerning some of the most popular candidates.

One of such candidates is Mr. Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP.

It is no longer news that some of the presidential candidates have been accused of embezzling public funds, trading in narcotics and money laundering.

But Peter Obi who is dubbed “Mr Clean ”, is now facing myriads of controversies, especially from members of the opposition camps.

In 2021, a Pandora Paper investigation had alleged that Obi operated foreign bank accounts and operated shell companies incorporated in tax havens to launder public funds and dodge taxes.

The Pandora Papers is a leak of about 12 million documents that revealed hidden wealth and tax avoidance by some of the world’s rich and powerful men.

Obi said it was exhilarating that nowhere in the article was he accused of any form of corruption, whether in the form of diversion of public funds or in any other manner during and after his stewardship as the governor of Anambra State.

Also speaking, veteran Nigerian singer and activist, Charles Oputa, AKA Charlyboy said that the opposition APC will continue to fail in their bid to tarnish Peter Obi’s image.

”Na APC planted those people to take over the LP office. No matter the effort of APC to discredit or soil his integrity they cannot succeed. All these are propaganda and not the real truth.

”All these allegations about Obi have been debunked. We have people digging the truth, even the Oyedepo audio was cloned. They used AI to do it. People are aware that they used AI to manipulate the audio,” he stated.
