BREAKING: Peter Obi Breaks Silence, Releases Documents to Clear His Name Over Abacha-Era Allegations
Peter Obi has officially responded to claims by Daddy Freeze and Omoyele Sowore, who alleged that he was involved in corrupt activities during the era of General Sani Abacha at the Tincan Island Port in Lagos.
In a public statement released today, July 9, the former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate released official documents showing that he was only co-opted, alongside others, into a presidential task force set up to decongest Nigerian ports—not for any personal or corrupt dealings.
Obi said the documents were made public to clarify the recent “social media narratives” and politically motivated accusations linking him to the Abacha regime, which is widely remembered for its human rights violations and massive looting of public funds between 1993 and 1998.
According to Obi, this is yet another attempt by political opponents to mislead the public and damage his reputation. He urged Nigerians to always verify claims before jumping to conclusions.
"Truth is constant. I owe it to Nigerians to always speak it,” Obi stated.
