Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has categorically dismissed claims that he work for the late military leader, General Sani Abacha, or any government before venturing into politics.
During an interview with Channels TV – Sunday Politics, Obi addressed the long-standing rumour regarding his alleged link to military regimes.
“I have never worked for any government before I became governor. I was very successful businessman. I was part of those controlling trade in Lagos”
“When Abacha took over, they blocked the port, and goods were not coming in. We came to Abuja, about 50 of us. We were able to elucidate the problem we were facing”, Obi explained.
“The Head of State directed the Finance Minister to decongest all the ports in Nigeria. When they finished after two weeks, they said it’s not time to probe the ports”, he recalled.
“I never met Abacha, and I don’t know anything about military.
