Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra state and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said politics made him poorer.

Obi revealed this while reacting to accusation that he manipulated the primary election of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Anambra state.

Obi said he never entered politics wretched adding that he had made so many investments and have been managing the family business.

Obi said

“I did not go into politics wretched; I was already a director in three financial institutions, a director in four other major companies; all by the virtue of my investments. I was also running a successful family business. Going into politics even made me poorer but I won’t question anything because that is where God wants me to be. The joy of rendering fruitful service to the people cannot be quantified in naira and kobo. For me, all I want is for us to have a better society; caring for the poor and the people.”

Obi added that he is not a caretaker committee of the party in the State neither was he a delegate at the primary election.

He said

“I’m not a member of PDP Caretaker Committee in the State. I’m not a delegate to the primaries. So, I wonder how this came about. There were delegates who voted. Those delegates are not my brothers and sisters.

“The best thing to do now is to avoid distractions the opposition is deliberately planting amongst us in order to have competitive advantage over us. I wish all PDP members realise this. People must realise that In any election, you must support one person or the other based on his proven and inherent potentials.

“ I do so based on that criteria and not for transaction. I must have a cogent and convincing reason in my own case to support anybody. Yes, anybody can talk about Oseloka Obaze. I can tell you that for me, people said my government did well; one of those who made it possible is Oseloka Obaze.”

Coming from a man that lied about wearing one wrist watch for 17 years..
