Picture Of Peter Obi Rejecting Government Benefits by shortgun(op): 10:58pm On Jul 05, 2025
No Nigerian Politician dead or alive can equal Peter Obi's selflessness in Public service. Here's a letter of Peter Obi rejecting plots of land offered to him as governor.
Rufai challenges other politicians to show proof of rejecting government perks.

Bunkum and balderdash!

A Governor of a state rejected lands from who?

You kids think we are all dunces! The number one man of a state rejected benefit from his own government?

Where is it written in the constitution of Anambra state that Governor’s get land benefits.

Rejecting from a source you control.

Rubbish!

Being humble have nothing to do with governance or leadership

In fact corruption is not even an issue for me, there are many corrupt but we'll developed countries

My reason for supporting Obi is simple... He understand how development works, investing in people, and local businesses not building of infrastructure with borrowed money

Nigeria is like this not because APC is corrupt no PDP was corrupt too even more corrupt but Nigerian GDP grew 1000% in 16 years under PDP

Nigeria is like this because APC keep borrowing money to build legacy projects that can't generate revenue, hoping it would drive economic growth, so in other to pay back the loans,government joins the money market put more demand on dollars and naira falls ... Making holders of naira poorer

Obi debate with Osibanjo is what won me over everyone should go and listen to that debate

All this humble things, philanthropy and the rest no really concern me... It almost like he feels sorry for being rich especially since he came from a super rich family... So being humble is his way of identifying with the poor.. But that's not what makes him a good candidate

You want a government that touches the lives of the people and you think humility and empathy are not necessary?

Look at Jonathan and Yaradua. Humble men, they ran the last governments where development took place.

Humility is not important
Jonathan and yaradua did well because they are from the PDP school of thought

PDP never borrowed to build any infrastructure they where gathering money and building it gradually so naira grew and Nigerians became richer

Osibanjo is humble and compassionate but is still Awolowo, Tinubu stock of ideology.... Team legacy projects... Millions would still be poor... Maybe just a more responsive president that's all

you understand how economy works. It has nothing to do with corruption like we're made to understand. Until we start investing in human resources and building micro and macro economy, we're going no where. Why should you borrow money to build road while you don't even have power for the industries and existing roads are not functional.


Create the environment for businesses to start and grow, you can then tax the economy and build legacy projects.

This current governor of Anambra State is building parks and subsidizing entrance fee. At the end of the day,it becomes another burden for the state to carry and if another government doesn't find the burden necessary,they will be accused of lack of maintenance. Why should maintenance be an issue if it generates enough revenue to sustain itself?

We have a serious problem in Nigeria and the masses don't even understand the Genesis yet

Why are you talking as if you're not a Nigerian?

Even a kinda baby knows that governors leaves office with several benefits including pension.
Is it because PO is involved in this discuss that made you feigh ignorant of the obvious fact?

How many times will you lots recycle this same senseless lies about Peter Obi. When we all know the man is too clean to be involved in any form of embezzlement.

Here is what really happened:
Obi’s administration issued a ₦250 million payment by cheque to a contractor for supplying vehicles.

The contractor allegedly cashed the cheque in Awka, then transported the money in a vehicle (reportedly in a “Ghana-Must-Go” bag) with security guards ,en route to Lagos.


Security agents in Lagos intercepted the money, sparking claims of money laundering or cash misappropriation, with wild exaggerations, some sources quoted ₦2.5 billion or even US $25 million

🔍 Investigations & Outcome
The Police, EFCC, and Anambra State House of Assembly all looked into the matter.

Investigators concluded it was a legitimate business transaction, not illicit. The money was returned to the contractor and no charges were filed.

Peter Obi himself went to Lagos with documentation, including the cheque and contract details to clarify the situation with authorities.
Re: Picture Of Peter Obi Rejecting Government Benefits by Putindbutt(m):
Rejected from who?. who offered him the land in the first place?, who was offering Obi a land as Governor in Anambra?. Pls make it make sense. All these whitewashing and packaging don cast tey tey. He for reject Anambra funds in his bank or reject Anambra funds he diverted into his private business, that's when you can come here to talk.

Tinubu was the first governor that started signing laws for huge benefits for ex governors. GREED is his middle name.

Yes, maybe in 2035

Its worth the wait because by then he would be more experienced and also built a strong network of associations in all regions.
South East votes alone can't make him a president
