Anambra Governor, Peter Obi, In Brewery Ownership Scandal by drlateef: 5:57am On Jun 17, 2022

A brewery ownership scandal in Anambra state has stirred a conflict of interest concerns following allegations linking the governor, Peter Obi, to a stake in the new firm.

Mr. Obi is accused of fraudulently financing the purported government-owned company with state funds when indeed, his company has an interest in the group.

The company at the centre of the controversy, Intafact Beverages Limited, is one of the projects earmarked for commissioning by President Goodluck Jonathan who is visiting the south eastern state on Thursday.

Alongside the project, the president will commission Orient Petroleum, Orange Drugs company and Onitsha Inland Port.

Allegations have built up for weeks that Mr. Obi was promoting Intafact, jointly owned by SABMiller, a South African joint brewery venture, as a state business interest and funding the firm with more than N2 billion of Anambra government funds while also allocating shares in the company to himself.

The governor is allegedly represented on the company by his company-NEXT International Limited. Critics say in addition to using state resources to promote private interest, Mr. Obi also received through his company the shares of SABMiller in Intafact.

Some of the allegations could not be independently verified by PREMIUM TIMES.
When contacted via telephone, the governor’s media assistant, Valentine Obienyem, said he would send an emailed response to the allegations, but never did.

The allegations have triggered a firestorm of condemnation for a state executive reasonably seen as relatively transparent and more committed to state service.

A former member of the House of Representatives from the state, Chudi Offodile, called on the governor to resign on account of the alleged scandal.

“What does Governor Peter Obi understand by the oath he swore to on assumption of office:”that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or any official decisions,” Mr. Offodile said.

While the company is seen to be state-owned, documents from the Corporate Affairs Commission, available to PREMIUM TIMES, list as shareholders of the company, SABMiller, Next International Limited, and the state government.

Mr. Obi is said to have resigned his leading role at Next ahead of his election while maintaining subtle ownership of the company.

Summary of the issues:
Before becoming governor Obi owns shares in NeXT.
As Governor obi handed over his controlling interest in NeXT
A good investment opportunity came up in the Brewrey, Next Invested.
Obi got Anambra state to invest in Brewery afterwards.
Other intelligent businesses invested in the Brewery

The logic of poster:
1. NeXT should not have invested in Brewery but in a cow farm.

2. Since NeXT had invested in Brewrey, Anambra state should not invest in it because Obi’s family has shares in a co-investor in the brewery.

[/b][b]
Poster’s conclusion:
I will rather support a frail aged, convicted drug dealer that taxes a state for life; who is 9 years older than her first daughter.

Our decision
Obi is a good investor that invested State money in businesses that had prospects. The brewery is just one of several that constantly generate revenue for the government 9 years after he left.

Obi has not taken 1 kobo from Anambra since leaving the position of governor,
No gratuity, no pension, no upkeep, no government paid security, no government purchased house. Nothing!

JaganBandits are very useless people.

Some Yorubas are very daft to the point of not knowing their fathers name.

Obi is the man Nigeria needs for total overhaul.
