“You know, like all things, I’ve got documentary evidence to back up what I’m saying.
Peter Obi, has responded to the allegation that he worked for a former Head of State, the late General Sani Abacha.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Obi released a document from 1996 to debunk the allegation that he worked for the military leader, who ruled Nigeria from 1993 until his death in 1998.
Reno Omokri, a critic of Obi, had accused him of working with the former head of state.
“Abacha and Peter Obi, they worked hand-in-hand; Abacha personally selected Peter Obi to head a task force to decongest the ports.
“You know, like all things, I’ve got documentary evidence to back up what I’m saying.
“So, if Peter Obi tries to act like a saint, I mean I will release the documentary evidence. He met with Abacha personally,” he said in a video post on Thursday, July 3.
But the former Anambra State governor released a document to clarified his position.
The document released by Obi titled, ‘Appointment as co-opted members of the task force on ports decongestion,’ was dated April 24, 1996, and signed by the then Minister of State for Finance, Abu Gidado.
