Obi Spent N744,500,000 On Legal Fees And Still Lose- Chidi Odinkalu by Benwallt(m): 9:05pm On Feb 16 |
Lawyer and Human Rights activist, Prof Chidi Anselm Odinkalu has reacted after seeing that the total amount the former governor of Anambra state, Peter Gregory Obi spent as legal fee in his electoral expenses was N744,500,000. According to PUNCH, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party spent a whooping sum N744,500,000 on litigation following his loss in the 2023 presidential election. The information was disclosed by the Chairman of the fundraising team for the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation, Aisha Yesufu at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday. Reacting to the report, Prof Chidi Anselm Odinkalu said it is surprising that the biggest single line item in the electoral expenses of Peter Obi is not media or polling agents but legal expenses. He wrote on his page; "Revealing - isn't it - that the biggest single line item in the electoral expenses of Peter Obi is not media or polling agents but Legal expenses? It's a consequence of the mess that lawyers & judges have made of Nigeria's electoral system". https://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/642705-nigerias-courts-of-electoral-kleptocracy-by-chidi-anselm-odinkalu.html 11 Likes |

It goes to say the system controls everything! You cannot change it from outside. Unfortunately, no one from the inside is ready to change things! 9 Likes |

Wow! That is staggering . And the man is still going about doing "give away" like nothing happened? He literally financed his campaign and post elections litigation. [Peruse the table below] I covet his humility I swear. 18 Likes 3 Shares

They should check it well. That's almost a billion naira on legal fees. Reputed for not giving shishi, Peter Obi is a fraudster known for stealing and hiding public money like Pandora Papers exposed him. So this could be another money laundering scheme for him. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

Benwallt: This is to show that Pa Peter Obi doesn't prioritise his needs. How can you spend what you need for campaign and publicity on litigation? This is a confirmation as we have rightly pointed out that Obi is a mediocre raised to the status of genius because excellence is not a requirement for success where he comes from but money 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Tochitee: Peter Obi only contributed less than 10 million to their campaign. The bulk of the money came from financiers. He's a rich man. He didn't cry because he lost; he cried at a hijacked system that was used to rob him in a broad day light. Actually, the system robbed all of us because we are already feeling the effects of having an aged, clueless and incompetent president. 8 Likes |

We want to see how much was needlessly claimed on expensive hotel rooms, expensive meals, transport to and from his base in Lagos, family planning for Aisha Yesufu, protestors fee at the Tribinal per person because I know all those jobless Obidients that went to stand in the hot sun with placards would have been given a stipend. 3 Likes 1 Share |
