Valentine Obienyem, media aide to Peter Obi, running mate to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 election, has insisted that there was no time his principal claimed that he had no house in London.
Obienyem made this clarification in a statement, while reacting to reports that Obi lied about owning houses in London.
“During several media programmes, Mr. Peter Obi said Onitsha was the only place he owned a personal house in Nigeria.
“In an attempt to discredit him, some people are posting his London houses as the much-awaited evidence that he lied.
“First, let it be noted that the issue of having a personal house only in Onitsha is a matter of choice. If his lifestyle supports love for houses, Obi can afford to have houses in the 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“As for his London houses, it might interest the public to note that he bought his first house in London in 1987. All the houses he owned in London were purchased before he became governor of Anambra State and were all duly declared,” the media aide said in a statement.

DeleteI am sure anon 21.30 is an igbo. It's your brothers in the East who are also PDP members that are doing this to Peter Obi so leave a Yoruba man out of this issue
DeleteAnon & sealord I wrote this because most Nigerians are hypocrite, I am not an Igbo person, but I want good governance. I will NOT allow anyone to kill my joy, the joy of the hope that a VERY COMPETENT man will rule this country in 2019. Why all this attacks against OBI ??? If we want yo sanitize Nigeria, then let us start with the real thieves, who became billionaires, after they left office of which Tinubu is number 1. Stella pls post this . this country also belongs to you and your children some of us here have decided to stick out our necks, even when we fully know it is risky.
DeleteAnonymous 09:09 please can I be your friend? Those assets you mentioned above are too weighty for one man to have. If truly they are his, then this country is finished. Even Sen Ekweremadu no near this one with what I just read above. You mean just eight years and after he was a governor he now have all these to himself. The world should end already.

DeleteHmmmmmmmmMm, I pray that one day, God will put an end to tribvaistic sentiments in Nigeria and help us to think straight as citizens. I just wonder why some of us have become voltron for these politicians who don't care a hoot about you or your generations to come. Continue your defence o while they amass crazy wealth for themselves and their families.
DeleteThey are just looking for every avenue, nook and crannies to rope or tarnish his image, but he comes out so clean every time. He wins or lose Obi is a good boy.
