The former Presidential candidate of the Labour Party ( LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi has dismissed the accusations of fraud made by Presidential aide, Daniel Bwala regarding to his tenure as the Executive Governor of Anambra State.
Obi, who responded recently on a podcast, said he ignored Bwala because he belongs to the class of people who are attacking him out of Financial motivation.
“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.” Obi declared
It will be recalled that Bwala recently alleged Obi of “fraudulently” managed the state funds, claiming the former governor saved state money in a bank where he was the chairman to personally accrue interest.
Speaking further, Bwala maintained that the liabilities Obi left behind as a Governor was more than the savings.
And if you minus liability from what you believed to be the savings, there is nothing on ground. This is called pure 419.”
