The Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said he has no time to respond to characters such as the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala.
Naijaonpoint recalls that Bwala had, in an interview with Channels Television, labelled Peter Obi as ‘419’, stressing that there was no achievement during his tenure as Anambra State Governor.
Bwala claimed that Peter Obi fraudulently kept state government funds in a bank so that he could accrue interest on the deposit for himself.
He said, “Peter Obi saved the money but he saved the money in a bank in which he was the chairman at the man, 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 to 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.”
