Fact Check - Did Peter Obi Own Any Residential House In Lagos? by Ournolly: 4:12pm On Jun 23, 2022
In a recent thread by Islandlady with the title - Throwback Photos Of Peter Obi Trekking To His Home In Lagos.
The thread shows pictures of him trekking to his residence at night but the question arises.
Did Peter Obi have a house in Lagos?

The question is important because he has claimed severally that he doesn't have any house in Nigeria apart from his home state - Anambra.

In the same thread that was featured on the front page, Islandlady said -

But shebi him and his supporters said he did not have any house in Lagos undecided make una small small they lie sha!

We need to question and criticize our leaders not just accept their lies and whatever they say! That is why they are leaders! Pls don't be a gullible zombie followers!

Let the fact speak!
The picture posted on that thread did not for any reason prove that Mr Peter Obi is returning to his private property or a rented apartment, however, there are instances in the past news that points to the right direction.

Did Peter Obi have a residence in Lagos? - Yes.
Is it his house or a rented apartment?- It's a rented apartment.
Who rented the apartment? - His wife!

How did we know about this?

In 2017, many houses and apartments in Ikoyi, Lagos were raided by the EFCC who worked on intel of a supposedly billions of Naira dumped by PDP politicians. Peter Obi's FLAT was raided too and he confirmed it.
Extract from the 2017 news -

By Monday, the commission had searched 21 of the apartments including those belonging to the former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, who developed the sky-rise residential building.

A statement on Tuesday by Obi’s media aide, Mr. Val Obienyem, said the former governor has confirmed the search by the EFCC of Flat 1 occupied by him in the building.

Responding to enquiries from the press, Obienyem, who revealed that the ex-governor’s primary residence is in Onitsha, Anambra State, he added that the apartment rented by Obi’s wife, Margaret, is usually used by the former governor anytime he is in Lagos.
Obienyem, who cautioned mischief makers against linking Obi to the cash haul, made it clear that the entire occupants of the building were also searched.

“Even though Mr. and Mrs. Obi had travelled to the UK and U.S. for speaking engagements, when he was informed of the search, he quickly sent the keys to the 4-bedroom apartment to the EFCC via courier today (yesterday).
“He even left instructions that we should allow them to also search his Onitsha residence should there be need for that.

In summary -
Did Peter Own a house in Lagos - No.
Is the apartment rented - yes, a 4 bedroom flat rented by his wife!

Islandlady, this a rebuttal with verifiable source.

Can seun and his mods move this to fp as it's usually done when 'facts check' counter threads are posted?

The mere fact that PO always say 'go and verify' should show those with discerning spirit that he has done his homework on those claims. Which presidential candidate will ask you to go and verify something he knew you will find dirts on?

You can't help but love PO. He's not your regular politician.

But why do some yorubas hate peter Obi so much? Most of the criticisms of peter Obi are from the yoruba a fellow southerner. Hausas just dey watch us mess ourselves.
Obi is not my candidate but with what the youths have decided to do now, if God says Obi will be president, nobody can stop it.

Nigerians have moved beyond these childish post and threads created to try to say something negative about Peter Obi on Nairaland. Nigerians have vetted him long time ago and found out he is the best among the presidential candidates we have for 2023. Nigerians have made up their mind to vote Peter Obi to help rescue the country from the evil misrule of APC govt in the last 7 years. All these Tinubu and Seun boys recruited last week to be posting rubbish on nairaland wont change the mind of majority of Nigerians to vote Obi as president in 2023. This suffering orchestrated by APC govt in the country must end, The youth and most Nigerian Households are so very determined this time around. So gerrra out of here with your stuupid post

My dear, Peter Obi gave your likes the authority to seize any of his apartments outside Anambra if you see one.
Why all these empty, and rather childish accuazations?
Besides, the Twitter link you posted did not show any document.

I promise to give you 20k if you show me any proof of apartment owned by Peter Obi in Nigeria outside his home state.

Another thing I notice about you guys is the inability to read and understand.
This might be a psychological disability, I am not sure but that's my line of thought.

Here is an excerpt from the post above -

But they didn't say rented apartment now.

Come yo think of it, what sense does it make for your wife to rent an apartment in Lagos, when she's supposed to be in Anambra most of the time? It would make a some sense if were to say the flat was rented by Obi, if it's even rented at all.
