Thinkam:
With just A single prototype and no other record, is it sensible for a contract and a request for dozens of vehicles to be given to such a company?.

Will you offer me such contract, with no track record?

Thinkam:
Seun was speculating, so was the writer.

The only one that sticks is the one in which he was caught, there's no way Obi would have done so continuously and not have had numerous encounters with Efcc, even governors with direct links with all federal governments from the east that have engaged in corruption have case file in Efcc ( OUK, Theodore, Rochas, even Obiano)

Until the writer, proves the continual withdrawal and not mere statements or speculation its hogwash.

I don't believe Tinubu built Lagos, so I think we should end the comparison there.

From Sam Omatseye's Obinomics article:

Peter Obi's media aide, Valentine Obienyem, responded:

https://swiftreporters.com/obi-curing-sam-omatseyes-ignorance/

Valentine Obienyem has updated the story again o. The policemen were amazed - yet they still resumed investigation at the later date? He showed them documentation that explained the N255m, yet the state assembly only saw documentation for N179.55m?

wowcatty:
I knew there was something Igbos are trying to hide with all the wolf cries over Tinubu.

So this is one of them, I believe there is more.

Igbos shield Peter Obi a thief and looking elsewhere for what does not exist in Tinubu.

I knew that to find an igbo who is not a criminal is a mission impossible.

swaggerjack:
Peter Obi is the same as Tinubu and Atiku. He just operated with a smaller budget.

We need EFCC to investigate how he built the two massive malls in Abuja and Port-Harcourt. What was the source of funds for those two massive projects.

wowcatty:
Peter Obi is not the same as Tinubu.

Tinubu was an honor student Obi was a dullard.

Tinubu ran Lagos without mthly allocation, Obi got allocation and still mismanaged it.

Tinubu didn't watch 18 month strike or so, Obi did.

Tinubu didn't kill people and dumped them in a river, Obi did.

Tiny didn't move N250 million every mth, Obi did.

There are more of Obi's crimes that will come out.

If Obi ran Lagos he would have sold the city, thank God he won't be able to sell Nigeria since he won't be president.

Did you read Seun's report at all?
Obi stole 250m monthly. Not once or twice.

That aside, OBI is far from Tinubu in terms of governance.

Lol

Aidejay:
Finally! somebody took a sledgehammer to the facade that is PO.

He Is A Thief. He stole from his people, He Isn't guiltless and If Given the opportunity he will steal again.

maybet081:
still the incoming,obi.

wowcatty:
Your blindness and snake venom in your veins is the reason you can't agree with the facts in my post.

Seun:
Since Peter Obi's story doesn't make sense, I had to go and look for alternative explanations of what actually happened that day.

Here's one that was written by a Tony Agbo. It was initially published on a dead news site called huhuonline & mirrored by thenigerianvoice:
https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/374/gov-peter-obi-n250m-in-three-suite-cases-an-insiders-acco.html

This makes much more sense than Peter Obi's cock & bull story. It's filled with details that match the version in the police story. To those saying that N250m is too small for a billionaire like Peter Obi to steal if he wanted to steal, the allegation against Peter Obi is that it happened every month. N250m a month equals N3bn a year or N24bn over 8 years. That's a lot of money even for a humble frugal billionaire like Peter Obi.

. The committee discovered that the contract sum for the purchase and supply of the aforementioned vehicles were N4,850,000 per unit for the FORD Ranger 4x4 Pick Up Van and N3,700,000 per unit for the Kia Optima Cars

MetaPhysical:
Is Innoson Motors not in Anambra state?
Do they not produce 4x4 trucks?
Do they not produce saloon cars?
Has Innoson not been begging government to buy its products?

Anambra people and Ibo in general would agree this was not a patriotic move by Obi.

Seun:
Another inconsistency exposed.

lilkech:
During the time Peter obi was governor was innoson producing such vehicles?

omohayek:
The same Pandora Papers you're using to indirectly link Tinubu to corruption is the very same expose which directly implicates Peter Obi! Have you Obi-worshippers no shame at all? At least show some consistency.

Elliotg:
If the Pandora tax evasion was an issue, the British would have been the ones to have queried Obi because it falls under their jurisdictions, not even your country Nigeria. That's why your country is not making a fuse about it, and neither the British because what he did was still within the cover of the law. The only grouse Nigeria could have with Obi is about not highlighting that he owns offshore assets in his asset declaration, and not thus because those assets were acquired fraudulently.

omohayek:
To begin with, what's this "your country" rubbish? Aren't you a Nigerian? And if you aren't, why should I give a damn about your opinion in any case? Go make pathetic excuses for the crooks in your own country - whatever that may be - rather than bothering me for caring about my own.

As for the rest of your ridiculous excuse for an argument, why on earth would it be the British government's job to prosecute a Nigerian politician for breaking Nigerian laws? As if the entire point of the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, Jersey and other such offshore jurisdictions wasn't to allow British lawyers and bankers to profit off the desire of crooked foreigners to hide their ill-gotten gains ...

All you've managed to establish is that a Peter Obi supporter who is able to reason clearly and has even a rudimentary understanding of how international law operates is about as likely a prospect as finding a hen with teeth (i.e. practically impossible). No one with an IQ above 100 who isn't already an Igbo chauvinist would ever mistake Peter Obi for more than just another Nigerian crook-politician, in the exact same mold as Atiku and Tinubu except that he's been the least successful of the three to date. He offers absolutely nothing new except the chance for Igbos to feel they finally have a champion of their own to battle the Tinubu they so passionately hate, and for a few delusional non-Igbo "youths" to believe that "change" can be brought on a platter to them, despite the clearcut, overwhelming evidence that Nigerian politics is inherently corrupt, and therefore cannot be changed by anyone who has spent over a decade being part of the crooked system.

This quote is from a forum post, but I love how it lays out the key questions of the scandal, so let's start with it:

This story ought to be the most objective and best first reading about this scandal. It covers what happens on that fateful day:
