Peter Obidiot Is Lying: They Offered Him Only One Job To Compensate His Loss. Now He Is Jobless: Re: Tinubu Offered

[Afis Deinde]

“I am not a fanatical supporter of any Nigerian politician, as they share the common fault of corruption. Peter Obi, whom you are trying to present as a saint, was allegedly caught red-handed with looted Anambra State funds when he was governor. 

The government of Umaru Yar'Adua insisted that the unexplained cash taken by Obi to Lagos for exchange into dollars be repaid to Anambra State's account through another bank (other than Fidelity Bank, where Obi had substantial interest). Obi complied. 

The same Obi was reported to have acquired secret assets in the Panama Papers while serving as governor. 

Was it not the same Obi who invested Anambra State's money in a company where he has equity? 

The present value of the shares (in US dollar terms) in the brewery—acquired at a grossly overvalued sum—is now worth less than 20% of the original investment.

Reverend Okala 

Please, what is the source of your largely unverifiable submission? Were you out of Nigeria in 1979, or were you too young to comprehend the facts on the ground?

I am a Yoruba man who believes that only through balance can we achieve lasting benefits. I always try to put myself in the shoes of my opponent; if something pains them, it would definitely pain me as well.

Was there any provision in the 1979 Constitution for the Nigerian President to be elected by an Electoral College? Please share the appropriate section if it existed.

Is it fair for a man who had 25% in six states of the federation to be declared winner by the electoral college over a man who had 25% in twelve states? Do you think Shagari's supporters would not have created a crisis or called General Obasanjo a tribalist if Awolowo had emerged president through a bizarre electoral college—especially bearing in mind that Shagari had more popular votes and a greater spread?

I too believe Awolowo would have run Nigeria far better than Shagari. But based on the results of the 1979 election, I do not hold a grudge against General Obasanjo unless he intended to create a crisis in the country. 

I keep telling Africans to always compare like with like. We are not Arabs, Indians, Chinese, or Malays. You can only compare an African leader to another African leader, not to non-Africans. African leaders are as educated as leaders of non-African countries, but they are often very greedy, corrupt, and undisciplined. It is these agelong vices that made us sell our brothers and sisters as slaves during the trans-Saharan and trans-Atlantic slave trade eras.

All the regional premiers tried their best for their people when given power to rule around the time of independence. I think it is rather preposterous to overrate or underrate one without considering the level of development they met on ground before assuming office.

I am not a fanatical supporter of any Nigerian politician, as they share the common fault of corruption.

If we want to make Nigeria a great country, we should not be fanatical supporters of any of our politicians; they all have their faults, and none is perfect.

Comment:

Kayode Adebayo,

In 1979 when General Olusegun Obasanjo (then Nigeria's out-going Military head-of State, brazenly violated the Constitution by disallowing an Electoral College between Chief Obafemi Awolowo, UPN's Presidential candidate and Alhaji Shehu Shagari, NPN's Presidential candidate because he didn't want to handover to Awo), so Shagari sailed through albeit on a faulty pedestal as the 1st Executive President of Nigeria in the second Democracy. 

President Shehu Shagari, in the aftermath, made an offer to Awo for the UPN to form an alliance with the NPN for purposes of birthing a government of national unity, where Awo would be an influencer. But whilst NPP under the leadership of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe grabbed the offer with two hands, Papa (Awo) rejected it outright on principle basis. His words; "What kind of alliance would UPN form with NPN when both parties and their respective leaderships are diametrically and ideologically opposed to each other? Ours wasn't for just political position. More than anything, we wanted to make the country great by giving Nigerians a new lease of life!."

May I tell you for free that Papa (Awo), amongst other party leaders of his time, was simply unique, different and  most patriotic. Had he ruled Nigeria just for one term, Nigeria would have been rubbing shoulders with economies like Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore and the developed worlds of Europe, UK, Asia and North America, but backward/egocentric forces of the country's ruling class denied Nigeria of that GOLDEN opportunity,

Since his final exit from the landscape of the country's political arena, I have not witnessed an Awo's replica until the arrival of Peter Gregory Obi.

I make bold to say that Peter Gregory Obi has a lot of Chief Obafemi Awolowo's traits. Yours truly, that's why he REJECTED President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's offer. Like Papa, Nigeria comes first to him before self. I praise God that the county has birthed an arm of serious-minded people multifariously, mostly amongst the youths population. In Papa's time, Nigeria was bereft of the quality of youth-vanguards across its population. It had more of the folks that reason like you. That's why Papa's vision for Nigeria did not fly in his time. 

Against this backdrop, I can categorically state, without fear of contradiction, that Peter Gregory Obi will be elected as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2027. And with him on the saddle for a term, Nigeria will take its rightful place as Africa's leading light.

I wish you well. Meka

What II detest most about these bigots is their hypocrisy which renders them unworthy of dispassionate judgement.

Peter Obi is a Saint compared to Tinubu whom these sycophants primitively embrace only on tribal bias while Nigeria flounders.

Who among these hapless minions can compare Peter Obi with Tinubu on the corruption index?

Salvaging Nigeria is irrelevant to this bunch, same way they promoted Buhari as their Messiah.

Comment:

Imperial Ltd,

Because I'm getting ready for my Sunday Service, I'll respond, possibly by bullet points with a view to elaborating more much later.

* Yes the 1979 Constitution provided for an Electoral College for the first two parties that scored majority of the total votes cast, in the event no party scored the required 2/3 of the then existing 19 states of the federation as required by the same Constitution.

* Neither Shagari nor Awo scored 2/3 of the votes cast at the time. Shagari scored more than Awo and came close, but did not meet the constitutional requirement. 

*To respect the Constitution, an Electoral College was inevitable, but Obasanjo chose to flout the very Constitution that he helped midwife, especially when he noticed the formidable alliance among the rest of the parties, viz. NPP, GNPP, RP and UPN solidly behind Awo for the Electoral College.

* I'll investigate the report you volunteered about Peter Obi later.

* Be that as it may, Peter Obi still remains the BEST amongst the pack. No two ways about that! Meka

Enjoy your Sunday,

Nebukadineze Adiele,

Please see my reactions interspersed.

"Pastor Ọkala,

I have gone over this matter of the 1979 election with you multiple times without you accepting that your conclusion is wrong or proving that my position, that Awo would not have become president in 1979 even if the "electoral college" was convoked, is wrong with whatever evidence you have for sticking to the contrary. I still stand by my position that the "electoral college" was a fantasy of arch-Awoists, not something that was a material fact."  - Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

Nebukadineze Adiele,

Because my assertion was/is based on hard empirical evidence rather than theoretical, there's no way I could have accepted that I was wrong when I know that I was 100% right! I'm still 100% right!! No, the Electoral College was not "a fantasy of arch-Awoists". You're dead wrong! It was an implied and implementable constitutional provision (1979). I will explain later.

"First of all, I am not sure of when the 1979 Constitution was promulgated into effect since the military was still running the country at the time of the election -- I suspect that it came into effect on October 1, 1979 right after the new administration came into effect."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

I can categorically tell you that the 1979 Constitution which was drafted by elected members of a Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) across the country cum a tiny-few appointed members by the Military administration was promulgated into Law by the military administration led by Gen Olusegun Obasanjo before the ban on political activities for the restoration of democratic rule in the country was lifted. There's no way the military would have handed over governance to civilians without a constitution. Come on!

 

"For the purposes of this debate though, I will give you the benefit of the doubt by accepting that the 1979 Constitution governed the election that brought Shagari to office."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

That's EXACTLY what happened!

"According to section 126 of that Constitution, and if we accept your position that Shagari had not won the presidency, FEDECO was supposed to hold another election between Shagari and Awo who came first and second respectively."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

That's what is meant by Electoral College. FEDECO didn't mean to waste the country's resources to holding another national election de novo just for Alhaji  Shehu Shagari and Chief Obafemi Awolowo. What that provision meant was that the second election, this time between Shagari and Awo was to be amongst the elected members of Legislative House, whose elections had just been done and dusted. They were those to cast their votes, to determine between Shagari and Awo who would be the pioneer Executive President. 

"Were this election held, Shagari would have fulfilled the 25% requirement in 13 states because it narrowly missed scoring 25% in Kano state by a very small number of votes -- the North was in unison in retaining the presidency, so Shagari would have gotten enough votes in Kano to fulfil the requirement."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

No way! I can tell you for free that were that election (Electoral College) allowed to take place as implied in and, actionable by the 1979 Constitution, Chief Obafemi Awolowo would have beaten Alhaji Shehu Shagari silly to become the rightful pioneer Executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Gen Obasanjo knew and saw it clearly coming, which was why he brazenly flouted the very Constitution that he helped to midwife in the first place, because he was allergic to an Awo's Presidency. Recall that Awo said it loud and clear that he would probe the Military Administration if he came to power! That didn't sit well with Gen Obasanj0 especially as he knew the stuff that the man Awo was made of.

In readiness for the Electoral College, Awo masterfully put together an enviable alliance comprising the UPN, NPP, GNPP and PRP against Shagari who had hitherto stepped seriously on the toes of all of the other four leaders including Zik's during that excruciating long campaign period, 1978-79) and his NPN.

Let me tell you for free that, the dichotomy (political and otherwise) between the North and the South was TOTALLY nonexistent at that time.  The civil war had cosigned that evil mentality into oblivion and the country moved on as an ideal nation-state. Any wonder Awo picked Barr Philip Umeadi an Igbo (a fellow South) as his running mate in 1978/79. Politics of division and violence was reintroduced into the country's body politic by the violent rhetoric of one spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum whose name I can't remember now. He has passed on. Others are late Muhammadu Buhari and Prof Ango Abdulahi.  So, the Alliance built by Chief Awolowo of UPN, Dr Azikiwe of NPP, Alhaji Waziri Ibrahim of GNPP and Mallam Aminu Kano  of PRP was plainly organic, patriotic and without blemish in every sense of those words.

"Assuming that the second election did resolve the impasse, FEDECO was supposed to hold another election in each of the state Houses of Assembly and at the National Assembly, on the same day and time (this is what you are calling the electoral college), and whichever candidate got the simply majority votes would become president."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

You're getting it. But there wouldn't have been any other general election conducted mainly for Shagari and Awo before the Electoral College.

"Assuming that this took place, how would Awo have prevailed over Shagari, especially since most states in the North had almost equal numbers of NPN legislators with the political party that won that state?"  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

The cardinal agreement reached by the Alliance was that in the then upcoming Governorship elections, the rest of the governorship candidates of the parties in the Alliance should stand down and collapse their structures for the Alliance's Governorship candidate that had the strongest strength in a given state. That's how Wenike Briggs (UPN), GNPP and PRP's governorship candidates had their structures collapsed for Barr Wobidike Wonodi of NPP who squared it up with Melford Okilo of NPN.  As a UPN party functionary, I was constrained to work for Wonodi's victory with structure of my beloved Party. And I did. Ditto others like me. Wobidike Wonodi of course won hands down, but the fraudulently intentional delay of votes from Sagbama area (present Bayelsa State) which arrived Port Harcourt a few days later, showed results for Melford Okilo that were almost the population of the Bayelsa State. This truth only came to light when General Abacha later created the Bayelsa State in late 80s and the tiny population of the new state was exposed. Barr Wonodi couldn't hold his flabbergast. He rhetorically exclaimed, "If this is the population of Bayelsa, where then did Melford Okilo's humongous votes come from?" The rest as they say, is history. Both men have passed on. May their respective souls rest in perfect peace.

"In Kaduna, for example, PRP won the governorship but NPN overwhelmingly won the legislature. Assuming that NPP legislators voted for Awo, PRP and GNPP legislators would have voted for Shagari because that was what their leaders would have directed -- the North wanted to retain the presidency."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

No! You have got it TOTALLY wrong! In the first place, Balarabe Musa of PRP won in Kano because other governorship candidates of the Alliance collapsed their structures for him as the strongest amongst them. I can tell you for free that GNPP and PRP legislatures would have, as a matter of agreement and honour voted A - Z for Awo in accordance with what their leaders (Waziri Ibrahim and Aminu Kano) told them. My account is not based on either theory or permutation. As a UPN party functionary, I was privy to what happened.

"Waziri Ibrahim and Aminu Kano called their governors to order when their "progressive governors" alliances posed a threat to Shagari's presidency -- these governors were expelled from GNPP and PRP when they refused to quit the association. So, my dear pastor, stop making this stale and false argument, especially since you had left Nigeria at that time."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

Comment:

Such incident may have happened in 1983, if at all, when I was no longer in the country. So, I can't vividly vouch for the activities of the Alliance after 1979. But as far as 1979 era was concerned, what you said above was ABSOLUTELY nonexistent. In the words of Peter Obi, "Go and verify." Meka

On the accusation against Obi, Imperial Wizard was being a typical Nigerian gossiper and rumor monger. This was how they accused Buhari of having stolen $1.6 billion oil money in 1978. They kept repeating this lie even though the Iriekefe Commission exonerated him of that as far back as 1981. I spent years on these forums defending Buhari of that accusation by demonstrating how stupid it was. Tai Solarin, who was one of the noisemakers of the accusation, testified under oath that he heard the rumor from a danfo driver; the MD of the London bank where Buhari allegedly deposited the money testified under oath that no such money was deposited to his bank and that no bank would accept such a deposit because the bank would not have enough money to pay interest on it. Yet, Nigerians continued to malign Buhari with this lie for decades -- because Nigerians are thoughtless rumor mongers. 

This is how the lie that Imperial Wizard repeated here was resolved: 

>>THE controversial N250 million, allegedly intercepted from an Anambra state contractor in Lagos by the police last month came to an end yesterday, as a three man committee set up by the State House of Assembly, absolved Governor Peter Obi of any wrong doing, stressing that money belonging to Anambra state was not missing.

In the report read on the floor of the House by the chairman of the adhoc committee, Mr Gabriel Onyenwife, the committee observed that what transpired was a clear case of contract between a company, Glitz Introverse Ltd owned by Mr. Ejike Onwusogbulu and heads of the 21 local government councils in the state for the supply of 21 units of Ford Ranger 4×4 pick up vans for the police to assist in maintaining security  in the state and 21 units of Kia Optima cars for use by the local government officials.

The adoption of the report by the House of Assembly, put to an end, insinuations that Governor Obi was involved in money laundering, which had become a campaign issue for his opponents in the state,  since the incident was reported.<<

N250m saga: Anambra money not missing, says c'ttee

N250m saga: Anambra money not missing, says c'ttee akintayo eribake By Vincent Ujumadu AWKA—THE controversial N250 million, allegedly intercepted from an Anambra state contractor...

Notice that Imperial Wizard did not stop at that lie, he repeated another one: "Obi was reported to have acquired secret assets in the Panama Papers while serving as governo". Imperial Wizard left out two important factors: (a) EFFC investigated the matter and found nothing worthy of commenting on. (b) Former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu (now president), acting NPA MD, Mohammed Bello-Koko, governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State, governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State, and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun were all on the Panama Papers. More embarrassing is that Imperial Wizard seems to not know what the Panama papers were all about, therefore he concluded that anyone mentioned in it is automatically a criminal, which was what the anarchists who leaked it had in mind.

 I should quit these forums, I am tired of repeating myself and dealing with some ill-educated Nigerians.

There was no provision for Electoral College in the 1979 constitution. 

Furthermore, the provision for Nigerian state and federal legislators to vote for president in a situation where no viable candidate emerged winner in the first and second election in Nigeria is not Electoral College.

Kayusee,

PCO knows what he is talking about. As usual, you don't.

The secondary election, if the constitutional requirement of getting 25% in 2/3 of the number of states is what is referred to as 'electoral college'.

This 'electoral college' will not be a general election again between the two leading parties but by the recently elected members of the house of assembly then.

Comment:

Kayode Adebayo,

That you are bereft of the intellect to notice the provision of  "Electoral College" in the 1979 Constitution, doesn't mean that it was not there. Let me give you a few analogies:

1. If Kayode Adebayo promises a boy or girl that, "I will foot the bill of your education from Secondary until after your University education, without mentioning the word "Scholarship", that doesn't mean that what you gave to them is not a scholarship. The definition of your promise to them is understood as having given them a scholarship, covering their secondary and tertiary education. If someone goes to argue that what you gave them wasn't a scholarship because of the absence of the word "Scholarship" in your promissory note, and, that it's only Lagos State Government or Rivers State Government or Benue State Government, etc, that gives scholarship, won't you consider such a person a dimwit?

2). In their Aburi meeting of 1967 in Ghana, Ojukwu who was far more educated than Gowon then, presented an articulate paper that clearly called for a loose alliance of the Nigerian state where the regions had stronger powers to control their resources amid a very week central government. And everyone agreed to the proposal and subsequently a final document to that effect was signed, sealed and delivered by all. Yes, Ojukwu may not have mentioned the word "Confederation", yet the resolution they reached and the document they went out with from (based on definition) was a government of Confederation for the Nigerian nation-state. Did it not sound stupid when Gowon came up with arguments that held no water afterwards as his reasons for not honoring the Aburi agreement?

Kayode Adebayo, the procedure that the 1979 Constitution defined and put in place to elect the President in the event no presidential candidate won outright in the general election is called "Electoral College".  It shouldn't have to be spelt out before you recgnise its implicit efficacy! 

Yours truly that's what I mean by implied since it wasn't expressly mentioned. The problem with you is that you are grossly unteachable. AND That's the reason why I pay you no mind most of the time, even with your monuments of gibberish. Meka.

Blind Man Pastor Emeka Okala Leading Another Blind Man Called Nebukadimonkey Adiele 

It's entertaining to see both of you debate each other. It's one ignoramus leading and debating another ignoramus. It's very exciting indeed.

According to the ignoramus and dummy called Nebukadimonkey Adiele:

"Waziri Ibrahim and Aminu Kano called their governors to order when their "progressive governors" alliances posed a threat to Shagari's presidency -- these governors were expelled from GNPP and PRP when they refused to quit the association. So, my dear pastor, stop making this stale and false argument, especially since you had left Nigeria at that time."  -  Nebukadineze Adiele

For your ignorance, you dummy called Nebukadimonkey Adiele, PRP and GNPP had two governors each during the second republic and non of them were expelled from their parties by either Aminu Kano of PRP or Ibrahim Waziri of GNPP. It was the pro-Kano PRP that suspended both Balarabe Musa and Abubakar Rimi of Kano from PRP due to their alliance with other parties. Balarabe Musa was impeached by the NPN led Kaduna State legislators. They were not expelled like you ignorantly claimed. Similarly, both GNPP governors Mohammadu Goni and Abubakar Barde were not expelled by Waziri Ibrahim from GNPP, you dummy.

"No, the Electoral College was not "a fantasy of arch-Awoists". You're dead wrong! It was an implied and implementable constitutional provision (1979). I will explain later." --- Ignoramus Called Pastor Emeka Okala 

Ignoramus called Pastor Emeka Okala, there was no electoral college provision in the 1979 Constitution of Nigeria and it was not implied in the Constitution like you claimed. It's countries like US, India, France and Germany that practice Electoral College.

Instead of Pastor Emeka Okala to admit he was wrong about Electoral College provision in Nigeria’s 1979 Constitution as he initially claimed, he is now claiming it was implied in the Constitution. No, it was never provided for or implied in the 1979 Constitution.

Comment:

Kayode Adebayo,

Believe it or not, the procedure provided by the 1979 Constitution for the election of the President in the event no presidential candidate emerged from general election is called Electoral College. Had Gen Olusegun Obasanjo (Retd) allowed the Constitution to run its full course, though Alhaji Shehu Shagari won the popular votes, he would have lost at the Electoral College as Chief Obafemi Awolowo would have easily emerged the pioneer Executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from the Electoral College. Period! 

I'm off this back and forth debate with you!! Meka

Political Pastor Called Emeka Okala:

1. Your two analogies are wrong. They have bearing on practicing Electoral College System. You're like comparing a Non-Electoral College System to an Electoral College System. Can you compare a toy to a car? While a toy may look like a car, it's definitely not a car, because it's not drivable. It just has a semblance of a car. You can't enter a toy from your house in London and drive to your place of work or shopping mall, because it has no functionality of of a car and you can't imply a car with a toy. A toy will always be a toy. It will never be a car and people will never call it a car, unless they're under the influence like you.

2.

If something looks like Emeka Okala, but does not move or talk like Emeka Okala, would you accept that it's you Emeka Okala? I doubt it, unless you're under the influence of Umqombothi like you're.

Accept you are wrong and move on. Don't try to justify unjustifiable, rationalize irrationally or compare incompatible.

Subject: Dumb Architect Of Texas Called Cyril Anyanwu, Peter Obidiot Is The Most Corrupt Thief In Nigeria Today. Here Is Why: Re [africanworldforum] Peter Obidiot Is Lying: They Offered Him Only One Job To Compensate His Loss. Now He Is Jobless: Re: Tinubu Offered

 

Dumb Architect of Texas Called Cyril Anyanwu:

Peter Obidiot is thr most corrupt thief in Nigeria today. Here is why:

1. Peter Obidiot stole Anambra monies to buy properties in safe haven which he failed to disclose in his asset declaration until Pandora newspaper investigations revealed his stolen assets. On the other hand, Tinubu disclosed all his assets during asset declaration.

2. Peter Obidiot stole N250 million cash years ago, when the naira was a lot of money. His case is still pending at EFCC and ICPC till today 

3. Peter Obidiot stole a lot of Anambra people's money and invested it in his family business.

4. Peter Obidiot's N256 Billion Fraud currently pending at EFCC.

Group Petitions EFCC Over N256billion Fraud By Former Gov. Peter Obi 

The anti-corruption crusade of the Buhari administration may find a renewed vigor in the coming weeks – that is – if the information available to 247ureports.com spans out to be correct. According to the information, the former governor of Anambra State under the political banner of the All progressive grand alliance (APGA), Chief Peter Obi may be invited by the anti-graft body of Nigeria, the Economic and financial crimes commission (EFCC) over possible crimes committed while serving as the governor of the State for 8years. The invitation is same to come within the coming weeks.

According to a top source within the presidency, the EFCC is said to be on the ready to act on a petition received against the person of the former governor. The petition was received in mid-August 2016 authored by a youth group and signed by Nkem Ejiofor. The content of the petition charged the former governor of embezzling N259billion during his 8years as the governor.

In particular, the petition charged that the gap toothed governor was carting away monthly dispatches of ungodly sums of money from the government house to his private office in Apapa, Lagos. The monthly dispatch was reported in excess of N500million – sourced directly out of the security votes of the State. The petition indicated that the governor used the Nigeria security personnel to execute each delivery. The security personnel which comprised of DSS, police and others were used as security cover to drive the money by road to Lagos.

A source conversant with the case told 247ureports.com that the governor’s action was a clear case od money laundering via his personal business in Lagos. “It is a classic case” said the source who went to recall that Chief Peter Obi was caught in 2009 when he used his man Friday aide, Valentine Obieyem along with security personnel to dispatch the sum of N550m using government house vehicles. According to the source, Peter Obi escaped the fangs of justice – through extensive lobbying and bribery of officials at the EFCC. “But this time will be different because the EFCC of today is no longer the same as the EFCC under the madam“. The source seemed eager to have Peter Obi in EFCC custody to begin what he referred as “interrogation”.

The petition also pointed to the numerous contract awards by the Peter Obi administration at the eve of Peter Obi’s exist from the seat of governor.

The then Governor Peter Obi had awarded numerous contracts worth over N100billion with only months to go before his handover date. Many of the contracts, as the petition states, were fictitious contracts – of which 90% of the contract sums released [paid out] to the fictitious contractors. Some of the awarded projects were not started on site before the entire sum of the contract sum was released to the contractor. The projects remained abandoned till date. Some of the other projects were altered and work specifications reduced to reflect a lower cost while the entire cost of contract released to the contractor remained the same.

The rebuilding of the former Ikenga Hotel to a mega arts and culture center with shopping centers and cinema facilities with a helipad for helicopter to land and take off – serves was an example. It designed and priced for the mentioned facilities. And the monies were released but the onsite plan was altered to affect a lower cost. The helipad was removed. The cinema was yanked along with other facilities. The same scenario played out at another major project in Onitsha shopping center.

According to available intelligence, the money raised by the Peter Obi administration towards the tail end of his administration is believed to be for the Jonathan presidential reelection campaign. A source from the presidency believes that the large sum of money donated to the Presidential campaign earned Peter Obi the grand welcome into the Peoples Democratic Party – where virtually the entire party bigwigs showed up at the Onitsha home of Peter Obi for the announcement of Peter Obi’s defection from the APGA and entrance to the PDP. And shortly after Peter Obi’s entrance into the party, he was made the campaign director in charge of the south east and south south regions. Close to N300billion was then released for the two regions.

The petition asked the EFCC to initiate a thorough investigation into the activities of the Peter Obi administration for the entire eight years in office.

Imperial Wizard,

You are rehashing a long discredited and abandoned "scandal" built on Anambra state's dog eats dog politics; you must have an ulterior motive for reposting the narrative without also posting the resolution and discrediting of that narrative. This was how you people accused General Buhari of having stolen $1.6 billion oil money in 1978, and kept repeating that lie for over three decades, even after the Irikefe Tribunal exonerated him of it and the MD of the London bank where he supposedly deposited the money was flown to Nigeria (at Nigeria expense in 1981) to testify under oath. He testified that no such money was deposited in his bank, and that his bank would have not accepted such a deposit because no bank could afford to pay interest on such a huge deposit. Yet, you Nigerians did not stop the lying and rumor mongering until Buhari became president in 2015. In all the days I defended Buhari over this, none of you called me a tribalist, to the contrary, some of my fellow Igbos began to wonder if I was a Fulani man, some asked for me to be ostracized from Igbo forums. Now that I am defending Obi from an outright criminal-like politics of Anambra, I am supposed to be doing so because he is Igbo and I am Igbo, even though Peter Obi has never been an Igbo man who isn't more in love with Nigeria than with being Igbo? 

Get a grip on yourself, Imperial Wizard, quit this nonsensicality into which you are swimming and sounding as ignorant and addle-brained as Reno Omokri. Since you are googling, be objective by googling the latest on this topic, not the initial farce that has long be debunked.

Nigeria: Obi - Vindicated in Alleged N250 Million Scam

Daily Independent (Lagos)

 By Maxwell Oditta                                 11 July 2009

Lagos — Once again, he has come out unscathed. Even the allegedly hostile Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-controlled Anambra State House of Assembly has cleared him of complicity in suspected laundering of N250 million state funds intercepted by the Police in Lagos, recently. Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State must have been taken aback with media reports of the N250 million found in possession of one of his aides, which immediately threw up a controversy, especially given his avowed position on transparency and abhorrence of graft.

For Obi, the anxiety generated by the scam is gone too soon, however. The soft-spoken governor has members of the Anayo Nnebe-led State House of Assembly to thank for upholding his own pleadings on the scam. In adopting the report of the three-man committee set up by the Assembly on June 2 to look into the matter and find out what actually transpired, the Anambra State legislature noted that the adoption was to enable the recommendation be accepted by the legislature as a working document, pending the time other reports by other relevant government agencies would be out.
