My dear, it's hard to accept that people still sold their votes for a penny at the just concluded Ekiti State gubernatorial election. So sad. Instant pleasure cry

One lady even recorded herself on video showing some notes of near-valueless naira currency.

Rubbish Obi is a business man with is net worth running into billions if he is possession of 250million that should not be an issue
If Peter Obi wanted to steal, he would steal the billions he handed over to his predecessor. I'm not surprised when I see devils accusing angels like it was in the Bible. Did Tinubu hand over money or debt to his predecessor in Lagos? You all know that Peter Obi is the best man for this job. Stop the tribal bigotry and selfish interest.

Alleged N250m Anambra money: Police launches fresh investigation

By ikenna Anyanwu
Contrary to speculations that the case of recent recovery of a whooping sum of N250 million in cash in a private office of Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State in Apapa, Lagos by eagle-eyed policemen in Lagos has been rested, indications emerged over the week that Police authorities in Abuja have commenced thorough investigations into the matter.

This is just as untold details of the circumstances that led to the strange discovery and the role played by all the parties involved including the Police were unfolded by reliable police sources at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that on the said day, which was Sunday, Police authorities in Lagos received information from one of the aides to Governor Peter Obi that a huge sum of money was been conveyed to the Governor's private company at Aerodrome road in Apapa, Lagos.

Based on this, Lagos State Police Commissioner, Marvel Akpoyibo led some of his officers including the Area Commander in Apapa and they stormed the company.

Police sources said on getting to the scene, they saw the exotic jeeps that transported the money which were arraigned in suit cases inside the premises.



The Police reportedly instructed one of the aids to the Governor who was seen there to inform the Governor of their intention to inspect the vehicles. At this juncture, according to reports, the Governor instructed his aides not to open the vehicles until he comes to Lagos.

As soon as the Commissioner of Police was informed of the Governor’s directive, he reportedly deployed policemen to guard the vehicles until the arrival of the Governor.

That Sunday, at about 2.30 pm, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi arrived the scene with their entourage and the Police Commissioner insisted that the vehicles must be thoroughly searched in the presence of everybody because the information received was a case of arms and ammunition being stockpiled for the 2010 election in Anambra State.

Governor Obi who was reportedly not comfortable with the Commissioner˜s directive was said to had capitulated by directing his aids to open the vehicle and this led to the discovery of the whooping sum of N250 million. Saturday Vanguard learnt that at this stage, the Commissioner of police quickly alerted the Inspector-General of Police, Sir Mike Okiro who directed that the Governor should make a statement over the discovery.

Sources said that in his statement, Governor Obi stated that the money found in the vehicles belongs to Anambra State and that it was meant for payment to one of their contractors who wanted cash.

It was gathered also that when the police asked Governor Obi why he should pay such a huge amount of money in cash instead of draft or cheque, the Governor could not give reasonable answer.

It was then that the Inspector~General of Police directed that the money should be paid back to Anambra State government account without delay.


On Monday the following day, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi reportedly moved to Spring bank where the money was paid into Anambra State Government account and a photocopy of the deposit slip made and handed over to the Commissioner of Police.

Saturday Vanguard also learnt that what fueled police suspicion over the money was that they also got information that the Governor was billed to travel out of the country a week after the money was intercepted.

To worsen the speculation, Governor Obi reportedly traveled overseas after the incident.

It was at this stage that the Inspector~General of Police who was properly briefed on the incident directed the Force Criminal Investigations Department under Deputy Inspector~General of Police, Israel Ajao to take over the case and unravel the mystery surrounding the movement of the cash from Anambra State to Lagos.

The IGP˜s directive was also said to have been prompted by the fact that the contractor whom Governor Obi claimed owns the money never showed up at all stages of the discovery and the fact that Lagos state Police Command preliminary investigations revealed a case of money laundering against the Governor.

So far, sources at the Force headquarters said detectives will soon conclude their investigations into the matter based on the fact that Police authorities vowed to get to the root of the case without fear or favor.

I can bet you that the person that is posting this has never entered plane. Still depends on parents who are suffering from inflation.

No independent Nigerian, who paid for flight for 12000 and is paying 60,000 today, or bought a bag of rice for 6000 in 2015 and buying 25,000 today, will be campaigning for Tinubu.



So it is Peter Obi that ruled anambra for two terms without any concrete achievement is whom to vote for, 8yrs peter could not turn anambra to semi mega city.
Tinubu left lagos n today lagos is the most revenue generating state because a man vision not to depend on federal allocation
You want me to leave tinubu because is old and vote for a peter obi who is 60yrs, if peter obi was a visionary and half the man tinubu is, anambra won't be one of the states with high poverty in the East

Why will Peter Obi steal millions when he left billions for his predecessor? Something he had the power to take but he didn't do it. Did Tinubu leave money or debt when he was leaving as Lagos state Governor?

Only for Obiano to enter office and say there were plentitude of contracts unpaid for. I can't swear for Tinubu or Atiku as they're not saints. You, swear that Peter Obi is not a thief sir.

You have said it all.

I am not talking about any party or anyone but I do hate it when people try to give a double standard... We Nigerians are never honest...
A good example... I went to slot and also checked on jumia to buy my current xiaomi redmi 9a the least is N50,200...
So a friend advice me to check alipay.. I checked alipay and found out this phone is 32,000 I ordered one and use express shipping and when I got it plus custom fee and all it resulted to N41,000 now imagine I am buying in bulk and they will give me discount...
My point is we Nigerians knew we are the one inflating things and yet we love to point at other people for our fault...
Back to the peter obi stuff... You all talk like this man is not a politician... I don't want to say anything about some shit I knew about him but trust me all is a lie... They are all politician and politics is a game of lies to win people heart... Buhari said a lot than this he we always seen drinking sachet milo and so on but all is a lie... They are all politicians... Inflation is all over the world but nigerians makes Nigeria inflation worse.
Tinubu, atiku, Obi all have ups and downs like anybody else so all are same...
Vote for who ever you like but double standard is all shit and it won't promot your candidate of choice well.
Thank you

Despite all what he just explained, he will not win the election. Because block of the votes would come from Northern part of the country. So he should just chill.

Any Nigerian who is still in doubt of Peter Obi's competence, humility and honesty needs a brain check. He is the only candidate who truthfully wants to serve and not be served. Nigeria needs Peter Obi to clean up the mess the ruling satanic party caused Nigeria. If a wrong person is voted in, come 2023, Nigeria will be doomed forever.

what we have in lagos from 1999 till is called ongoing concern i.e continuity from one govt to the next, no aggressiveness from obi's fan can change the fact the lagos we see today was built on tinubu blueprints now i chance anyone intellectual supporting peter obi to show us Peter Obi clear blue prints in anambra or even now that he is aspiring.
Nigeria is not producing and we are bearly surviving on less than 20% of our revenue and a supposed graduate campaign solution is prudence.

Re: Peter Obi: I Am Not Stingy, I Just Have An Allergy For Money Being Spent Wrongly by sunboy(m): 5:44pm On Jun 20, 2022
In my opinion, Tinubu, Atiku and Obi are all in same category of failed leaders who in one way or the other contributed to the what we have now.

None of them should be allowed to taste power ever again. But with the look of things, Tinubu will be forced on us again courtesy of the entire North.

Suddenly Nigerians started seeing Obi as a lesser saint or a complete saint, it obviously shows how much forgetful we get about this peoples actions and inactions while in power.

Cos he suddenly started fly economy now that makes him a man of the people lol what about the days he’s been flying private jet? Hahah

None of them deserve to have a taste of power again ever! But we never ready sha.
