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.

When you want to progress you must face heavy challenges,that's what Mr OBI is passing through now.


They are firing him with Unverified accusations from every angle ..... just to bring him down .

What is even baffling me is how Obi Pandora is investing in Breweries as governor just for his selfish interests

Watch how his supporters will debunk this claims like brainless zombies saying it's an unverified accusations without actually verifying it but if it is Tinubu they cry and wail that Nigeria is finished

This man and shayo sha..

Everything about him centres on beer..

1. His major supporters are beerfraud apologists

2. His only known public investment is on beer

This fraud cannot be packaged to look good to sane Nigerians.

The lying machine is just another investor Sabinus. He has nothing to offer but comedy.

Funny thing is he thinks too high of himself like say tomorrow no dey. You are yet to win elections, but you have traveled to Egypt to "understudy" ... understudy what? Small media hype by his kinsmen, the gap-toothed lies dispenser thinks he has become president

Tinubu stole the money Saint Peter Obi invested. It’s the same money he hid inside the bullion van

This Tinubu slaves should rest na

It Obi the only person in this presidential race, why are they scared of his rising popularity and general acceptance ?

I thought this fools spreading lies about Obi said no Igbo man will be president and that Nigeria belongs to them and there useless father's ?

The Igbos are peace loving and hard working people and Nigeria belongs to all of us.

Peter Obi is a Nigeria project and only him Nigerians will vote for in 2023 because only peter Obi will streer Nigeria to the path of prosperity ..

Tinubu is a corrupt old fool that must not be allowed anywhere close to our national coffers , God forbids.

Fortunately Tinubu will not be president of Nigeria. Your brainwashed head always give a nod to fake news. Monki.

It's a normal thing now to be accused of something or other when you want to contest. This is Nigeria. Every parties looking for each others weak point.

Why are this Tinubu urchins all about the brewery, Is that the only lies they can fabricate against Obi?

It shows Obi is truly man of integrity like Obasanjo rightly said

I went to 9mobile office last week to get a new sim and met about 7 people already waiting to get theirs and get whom they were discussing about , PETER GREGORY OBI.

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.

Just look at that. See ehn guys, forget it. Pandora is no different than the rest of the thieving pack.

Mr goat, just be OBidient for once and make sense. It pains you that he travelled to Egypt to Dave you and your generation from darkness. At least Tinubu is sick and cannot travel but only to London hospital.

The 2nd 3rd & 4th monikers that posted on this thread... Are like one and the same... Or at least same group of BMC then. Check the timing of their posts. They missed out on being 1st poster slot this time.

They usually claim the first 3/5 comments on a thread and hope to control/influence other people's narrative.

ITI AKWUS'.

Lol.. tinubus group should leave this man alone and focus .. . One day they will say he has no biological children that they were adopted

Hahahahahaha
it's obvious they have nothing against this man.
the mai gaskiya himself
nwoke obi ya di ocha
mr "go and verify"


They tried using tribalism card, that one has already failed because this youth movement is WAZOBIA
they tried using fake news and information, faa faa foul because the man himself is "mr go and verify"
they gat nothing against him on corruption because Nigerian ROCK is the mai gaskiya and incorruptible man.
they now result to childish tantrums.
hahahahaha.
we told you guys before that they have no manifestos to campaign with apart from their usual old tribalism and tribal card.
they would have had an easy campaign with Osinbajo on the ballot because I wonder how a sane person will be campaigning against Osinbajo.
the only thing you can have against Osibanjo is his party and nothing more. but few times he headed things he proved himself within same party.
Nigerians would have has a tough choice to make between Osibanjo and Obi but they made the choice easy for the youths and the youths have chosen to pull themselves out of suffering from those who wish to molest this country "TURN BY TURN"
Suffering knows no tribe or religion
THE YOUTHS ARE COMING!!!

The only reason why the ibos have persistent feeling of ill will or resentment towards him is that hate strong political figures.

They said, and I quote.." Tinubu through his political grip stopped us from ruling lagos". One said "that he can't wait for him to die so that they will become dupety governor and then governor in lagos and take over this no man's land". Listen to Nnamdi kanu broadcast during endsars brouhaha.
