Ignorance of the law is no excuse. But I am pretty sure he knew. If he can know all the fake statistics from China, what is so hard to know about the CCB guidelines? Besides, he took his time to carefully select those offshore locations where he thought that those assets cannot be found. Little did he know that well trained investigative journalists are not in short supply. He got caught simple.

Still laughing hard at the "fake statistics" comment. You have a point though.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what peter obi did ... absolutely nothing wrong with it

There has always been campaign to attack peter obi's image ....they can't find anything on the man

This is worrying. A governor, while in office, sets up secret companies in tax havens and has foreign accounts contrary to Nigeria Laws and you say he has done absolutely nothing wrong!

I think Peter Obi and Tinubu should be your next president. You deserve them! Perhaps R Kelly can be your women's minister or something too.

Come on, I have filled Code of Conduct forms and what Peter Obi is saying does not make sense. You are to declare everything you own, even the ones you own alongside people.

I understand why he is trying to protect himself, but, he messed up. He should just apologize and move on.

Thank God it is not Yoruba Western media that is exposing the foolish fraudulent criminal the clown Peter Obi is. Don't you morons campaign n attack other politicians in Nigeria why should the criminal Peter Obi be an exception because he is Igbo. Who doesn't even know Atiku can only work with criminal as VC.

He was/is the largest shareholder of Fidelity Bank before he became governor.

He was a billionaire long before he became a politician.

So it will be difficult to smear him successfully with this.

Unlike some others who became billionaires two or three years AFTER getting into public office

Exactly, but the issue bothers around declaration, not ownership of the assets.

It is totally permissible to have overseas investments, including in the nature of holding shares in an overseas company, or being a director in overseas companies, but the same has to be within the four corners of the law governing such investments. For instance, the overseas direct investment policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Similarly, it is totally legal to plan one's investment in a way so that minimum tax liability is attracted.This is called tax planning and has to be completely differentiated from tax evasion which is avoiding to pay taxes against the tax liability which has accrued on the tax payer.

Every business man wants profits and less tax. Trump is an example, why do players prefer to sign contracts in some clubs that pay little with less tax compare to other clubs with more sign on fees and wages but excessive taxes?
As for ccb or whatever, show me one politician since 1999 that have filled exactly what he owns, what he stole and what he intend looting while in office?
Am from akwaibom, go and ask ccb to show u akpabio's assets declaration form lets compare what he owns, hiS worth and what he filled there.

In my limited understanding, this sort of investigation is required to keep a strict vigil on those who otherwise assume that their acts, in spite of being in flagrant violation of law, would go unnoticed. This is not the case that every person named in the list has illegally stashed monies abroad and evaded tax in Nigeria. Law will follow its course and upon careful perusal of the evidence available, those who are proven to have violated law of the land, will be dealt with accordingly.Until then......Siddon look. Like Tinubu like Saraki like Orji..

It might not serve as a case of looting but hiding assets before entering government. A lot of politicians are skeptical of revealing assets due to political enemies.

Unless we have the proper timeline of when the shell company got established, I don't think we should rush and tag him a looter of public funds.

He supposed to declare his own share of the company. I remember very well that the late President Sheu Yaradua declared his own part of shares in Habib Bank he jointly owned with MKO.

I have never really trusted the integrity of Peter Obi since his aide was nabbed laundering 250 million naira on his behalf while he was still a governor and he did all he could to bury that case. So if you ask me, I say he his talking balderdash!
