There is absolutely nothing wrong with what peter obi did ... absolutely nothing wrong with it

There has always been campaign to attack peter obi's image ....they can't find anything on the man


Obi, a Vice-Presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2019 general elections, set up and operated businesses abroad in tax and secrecy havens; and breached Nigerian laws while he was a serving governor by failing to declare these assets with the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.

He set up his first offshore company, Gabriella Investments Limited (named after his daughter who bears a similar name), 4 years into his time as governor of Anambra state.

Is it about Mr. Integrity or Peter this article is about? Use your brain. Peter is a fraud. And this is what this article is about. Peter, the son of Obi who you people have portrayed as Mr Itegrity of Igbo is a fraud. Deal with it. He is a fraud. If you don't like my statement, go and hug the nearest transformer to you. Dont quote or mention me again.

You are your crew are wasting their time. That is what you don't know. Did you hear he stole money to set up those companies where in the article was it stated that he siphoned money?

Also tell us a crime for setting up a bank account outside Nigeria.

If you want, bring your money I will have one arranged for you.

Was or is he a board member in that company ? When his daughter owns the company

Stop spilling rubbish here please. Peter obi himself said the company is a joint company. Hence he partly own it and should have declare the part he owe if he doesn't have shady dealings

As you read, he co-owned the company, not his personal business, the Business wasn't even established in Nigeria in the first place, whats your point? Me and you de play tribal politics? abeg swerve .

He Co-owned the company with who exactly? With Gabriella his daughter? Lol. How old is the daughter and what is her share/input in the company and where did she get the money to own a company with the father?
Why can't they CO-OWN the company before he became a serving governor? I know that sentiment and tribalism will not allow these questions to pass through your shallow mind while defending this crook.

Don't be fooled guy, he didn't Co-owned anything. He owned the company and included his family names for cover up.

Firstly, you just exposed yourself as not being Igbo even though you use one that looks Igbo.

Secondly, did you read he said those are family joint business?

3rdly, the paper lied that it was after he became governor that he set them up... It was already in existence before then.

Where has it became a crime to own a business outside Nigeria?

Then it should have been declared.

Obi, a Vice-Presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2019 general elections, set up and operated businesses abroad in tax and secrecy havens; and breached Nigerian laws while he was a serving governor by failing to declare these assets with the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.

He knows he flouted the law. That was why he said he was not aware he should.
All your assets includes what you own anywhere.
He is a good administrator but please don't excuse this else we will have to give free pass to everyone else.
If you own a share in a company, it is a joint asset in the real sense. Why did he declare his shares in companies he is not the sole owner If he doesn't need to declare for jointly owned ones?
Let's watch and see; let's wait for the full legal interpretation. As I said before, I doubt someone in his position would be so careless to not know about something like that.

“I don’t declare what is owned with others,”, he told Premium Times.

“If my family owns something I won’t declare it. I didn’t declare anything I jointly owed with anyone.”

He said the offshore entity is the holding company for most of his assets and that the business structure he adapted was to enable him to avoid excessive taxation.

“I am sure you too will not like to pay inheritance tax if you can avoid it,” he said.

obailala:
The brutal honesty in these responses will throw any detractor off balance.

Nigerians and their selected honesty, we choose who to trust and distrust.

Peter Obi has multiple business certifications and diplomas and he didn't know that he has to declare his assets include one that is shared with his kins

Peter Obi talk and behaves like a crook, I don't need to see him in government to know that he will continue the looting of OBJ, GEJ and Buhari.

Failure to declare asset is the crime and not Stealing from Anambra state? Ok grin grin grin

He didn't declare asset of jointly owned business, you didn't see where he said it?

I am waiting for the news where he will be tied to looting from Anambra treasury. That is what I want to see

Avoiding tax is different from tax evasion? Go school Una say no shocked

There is only one motive behind both avoiding tax and evading tax.

The motive is to cheat the government which is punishable by law.

Go school Una say no.

YOU HAVE FINISHED MR PETER OBI.

The "SAINT FROM THE SOUTH EAST"

If governor Peter Obi SWEET TALK YOU with how he save money for Anambra state and manage the economy of Anmabra state to prosperity YOUR HEAD GO GROW DADA.

PANDORA BOX has done a lot of damage to his political and economic reputation.

The sweet talker from the East.


Which damage, for those who respect him for what he stands for, that's not a damage.

The money in question is his personal money and not like he looted public funds. But if you have evidence he looted public funds then you and your investigative journalist should present the evidence

He was/is the largest shareholder of Fidelity Bank before he became governor.

He was a billionaire long before he became a politician.

So it will be difficult to smear him successfully with this.

Unlike some others who became billionaires two or three years AFTER getting into public office
And who told you that rich people don't still get their hands in the cookie jar when they get into office? Or you think Tinubu wasn't rich before he became Lagos State Governor?
