unfortunately, you that borrow 100 naira mtn data is using that to defend a billionaire that stole from you.
Do you know why politicians are not afraid of stealing in Nigeria? Because they know that the poor masses that they (politicians) has stolen their future will defend them.

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.
learn to play politics the Nigerian way ,you don't win in national politics by attacking your people, no region does that, except south east and south south politicians and is one of the reasons we have been regarded irrelevant in the scheme of things. Onyeoma ,is my opinion i don't belong to any political party udo.

Come on, I have filled Code of Conduct form 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.
Is he the owner of Gabrielar or his daughter ?

What does the CoC law say regarding declaring jointly owned properties?... You really think someone in his position wouldn't know the law? You really think he would easily give that response to premium times so casually if truly he was breaking the law.
He knows he flouted the law. That was why he said he was not aware he should.
All your assets includes what you own anywhere.
He is a good administrator but please don't excuse this else we will have to give free pass to everyone else.
If you own a share in a company, it is a joint asset in the real sense. Why did he declare his shares in companies he is not the sole owner If he doesn't need to declare for jointly owned ones?

Where did Peter Obi got the money he spent to build the Next mall exposed by the Pandora papers ? Before you go blablabla tell us upon his wealth before be coming a Governor why he never built a single mall and when as he yet to built another mall over 16 years after leaving govt house if he truly did not loot Anambra state fund to build himself the mail.

Also tell use why Peter Obi bought brewery with close to a billionnaira only to sell it to himself for N1.5M on the eve of his departure from govt house ?

Bhett....He started stashing money away in secret tax havens ONLY AFTER HE BACAME GOVERNOR. Think about that.

He said he's not aware if the code of conduct required declaring the asset he jointly own, the indictment state how some religious organization owners, drug dealers, politicians use the company for their shaddy dealings and you said there is nothing wrong with what he has done? Bro it will never be my joy to see Peter Obi being indicted or brought down in his political journey but let's stop taking sides with those Politicians found wanting. I respect him so much and admire his achievement from afar but that does not give me the stance to applaud him for what has been said he allegedly done.

Don't ever allow your children or anyone looking up to you to see this post before they begin to ask what you have bn smoking.

SAINT Peter Peter Obi is more educated and exposed than you and I, he knows the rules of the CCB very well hence the reason he kept public funds in the imaginary Pandora 'safe haven'.

He is not the only crook polithiefians involved, God will continue to expose them one by one.

Atiku, Tinubu, Saraki, Ganduje, Orji Kalu, Okorocha, Abdulsalam etc are all thieves and enemies of progress.

It is his own because he contracted the company and told them to set up the shell company for him using his daughter's name. The company did the business for him and had an understanding to do it to hide his transactions.

Its still in contravention of our code of conduct laws. All public officers must declare their assets in full and when you co-own a business you have a stake in it. He knew that ut the crook in him tried to hide it

I am sure you will believe that of Bagudu the current Governor of Kebbi state. Take it or leave it, the only politician alive in Nigeria without any link to financial indictment is Buhari. We may not like him because of his style of leadership but he still remain the only politician who has distance himself from such act. I remember Fashola once said that ever since he became Minister, Buhari has never call him that he should award a contract to a particular person nor ask for return like some previous President, Governors were allegedly doing.

It sounds smart but in the end, it shows illegality. Keep in mind the person in context is a politician and someone who handles public funds. So the idea of a smart businessman gets thrown out of the window.

He was someone holding a public office and you are not to play smart business in such a scenario.

How many dose of volcano smoke did you take!
A person was a governor for eight years under the constitution of Nigeria which requires him to resign from any private company and also banned from holding foreign accounts who is also expected to declare all his assets at the expiration of his tenure, but alas! He did not declare all his assets due to the fact that he cannot defend his stupendous ill-gotten wealth which is hitherto a criminal offence under the law.
Your education seems to be failing you big time!

Firstly, you just exposed yourself as not being Igbo even though you use one that looks Igbo.

Secondly, did you read he said those are family joint business?

3rdly, the paper lied that it was after he became governor that he set them up... It was already in existence before then.

Where has it became a crime to own a business outside Nigeria?
