Enemies at work. Obi remains one of the most outstanding politicians in Nigeria with exemplary proofs to prove it. All these pull him down syndrome won't work. If Nigeria really wants to move forward, Obi remains a proven man for the job, tribalism aside. 7 Likes |

It would be better for him to go to his favourite TV station AriseNews and defend himself there instead of the use of fictitious characters to launder his battered image. The Editor of Premium times was on air on AriseNews yesterday to defend his media's piece on Obi and he spoke eloquently well without fear or bias because a clear conscience fears no accusation. Peter Obi should go back to AriseNews and either deny or own up to his crimes instead of this cat and mouse games he is playing. |

[s] Cyberterror:[/s] The editor of Premium Times is a journalist not a lawyer. He wants to sell newspapers. If Obi is to be tried, lawyers will handle it not journalists & an erudite lawyer has just educated us that everything that Afonja muslim wrote on Obi is hogwash. So until you can get us a lawyer who can counter this, all you & the Premium Times Editor have is noise to sell more newspapers. 3 Likes |

Afonjas are just desperately trying to find dirts to throw at anybody they perceive as a serious presidential material from the East. That's what this is all about. Nothing else! Their Tinubu is already full of dirt so like crabs in a bucket, they're desperately looking for company.. 5 Likes |

DoggoneDogg: Fictitious lawyer no one has heard of. Let him stake his career and go live on air on a national TV like AriseNews to defend the fraud Obi committed if so sure of the mess he is trying to justify. Until Obi comes out of hiding to defend his fraud, nobody will take him serious again. I am sure the leaders of PDP are so disappointed in this latest revelation about their poster boy 1 Like 1 Share |

Many of your Igbos have gone mad. You posted a news article from just one news outlets and you want us to believe what it said but I posted several newspaper outlet affirm indeed that Peter Obi is indeed a diahard criminal never witnessed by any state I. Nigeria you call it sensation. Should the same rule not apply to your claim of pronouncing the fraudster a saint ?! ThEGodFaThEr106: 1 Like |

Lagos Ibadan bring him down syndrome. So many threads against obi has been moved to front page in an attempt to smear this innocent man. Nobody has seen this innocent man receiving bullion vans that contains billions on the eve of an election neither did he embezzle NEMA money nor did he receive 4bn from corrupt magu. He wasn't a former Chicago drug dealer. He didn't set up a company to swallow 10% of anambra igr. His daughter is not the iyaloja of any market in anambra. He doesn't have any thug loyal to him. His son neither control ads money in anambra nor any toll gate. This is the type of man Nigeria needs. Frugal with resources and an accomplished industrialist and manager. It is very unfortunate that fellow southerners who are Hawking southern unity like gala so as to blackmail the north on presidency are the Ines trying to bring him down 4 Likes |

DoggoneDogg:For the right amount, anything can make it to a newspaper editorial. We were expecting a threat to sue if Obi thought he was being blackmailed or libelled. But same old attempt at crossdressing The international community has taken note of everyone on that pandora papers, from Transparency International to UN agencies and financial institutions, all these ones you people are writing here and there is clutching at straws. 1 Like 1 Share |

ADEBAYO should have done more research before writing their usual Lagos-Ibadam junk articles of hate. Obi hasn’t committed a crime, at least not yet but ADEBAYO from south west has already nailed him to the cross with his big hammer. O ma she oo 1 Like |

Mace0lane: Obi is as much a criminal as most of your people in South West. It is foolhardy to point a finger to one politician in a part of the country which most of your people usually do while forgetting your own thieves. About Igbos being mad, your people have become “more” mad. |

DoggoneDogg: Mr. Herbert- The Law. Well arranged piece.�. I am not a lawyer sir but how do you explain this part of the law that you quoted above: "Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, every public officer shall within three months after the coming into force of this Code of Conduct or immediately after taking office and thereafter - "(a) at the end of every four years; and (b) at the end of his term of office, submit to the Code of Conduct Bureau a written declaration of all his properties, assets, and liabilities and those of his unmarried children under the age of eighteen years.". Besides, it appears that you are more interested in displaying your knowledge about tax evasion and tax avoidance which was not mentioned in the law provisions than addressing the 'letter' of the law (you have a very good knowledge in that area I must commend). Perhaps, you could have added also 'creative accounting' to broaden our knowledge in that area. At least PMGG business name depicts creativity. I guess as a lawyer, all arguments are geared towards a predetermined end. That's great �. It's part of the job but what I find odd is the claim of 'dispassionate' assessment of the Pandora paper's claims. What happens to declaring his own part of the assets and liabilities in the company? The law says all his assets. Does the fact that the properties, asset and liabilities are co-owned make his own share not to be part of "all his property, assets and liabilities"? For instance, if I have a share in a joint venture with Mr. A. Does that make my share in the venture not to be part of 'all my assets? Are his children married at that point in time? These are germane questions that we expect Mr. Herbert- the Law to answer and not a lecture on taxation and business management. |
