The Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has stated he has no time to respond to allegations from Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication.
Bwala, during an interview with Channels Television, accused Peter Obi of being a ‘419’, alleging no significant achievements during Obi’s tenure as Anambra State Governor.
The adviser claimed Obi fraudulently kept state funds in a bank to accrue personal interest. Bwala argued, “Peter Obi saved the money but he saved the money in a bank in which he was the chairman at the time, that is where he was making the money. He would always refer you to Anambra. He would say when I left I saved this… There is a thing called asset and liability.”
“When the man power came and now explained how much liability they had, if you minus liability from what you believed to be the savings, there is nothing on ground. This is called pure 419.”
In response, Peter Obi, during an interview on the ‘Clarity Zone’ podcast with media personality Nedu, said, “Ordinarily I do not answer these type of characters. When I left office, I was not owing any salary that the state is supposed to pay, I was not owing any gratuity, I was not owing any pension, I was not owing any supplier that had delivered his goods.”
“The man has never been to Anambra state. I don’t answer these types of character, I just leave them because that is what they used to feed.”
