Such a foolish analogy.

His team which are mostly importers whose goods are being delayed at the ports for months, decided to do something about the delays by reporting their issue to whosoever is in charge of the ports then. And the person in charge asked them to use two weeks to workout ways they feel the government can de-congest the ports.

They made their findings within the given time and reported to the person in charge of the ports.

HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE TO WORKING FOR ABACHA'S GOVERNMENT??

What you lack is critical thinking while wallowing in a high dose of self deception.
In the very interview above, Obi claimed that he has never met Abacha, yet there are videos where he admitted meeting him.

What's the point of having to lie on little issues?
Working for people doesn't mean you are bad so what's the denial about?

Haaba now, its like being a minister under a President and saying you don't work for the administration.
You're comparing being APPOINTED minister to being asked to do a service for the then head of State? Your IQ is only fit to support Tinubu.

Cause, he reported to a special advisor to the head of state and it lasted 2 weeks. To provide a service for the benefit of the nation.

If you now say that means he worked for the HOS, then you need your brain checked.

Why are you denying of being appointed as one of the board members at Lagos port.

On which capacity did you report about the congested port?

Nigerians can see that this Peter Obi is full of lies without feeling a single remorse
Shonekan did not help abiola despite being president, dipo diya was no 2 under abacha, adisa, olarenwaju, ani, solenke were all part of the provisional ruling Council, none helped abiola. Your god buhari was chairman ptf, attending council of state meeting with obj who opposed abiola yet yorubas pretend that they played no part in abacha government

They went to Abuja to meet with Abacha as head of state but ended up with the minister. Anybody can go to Abuja to meet with the President, but you may end up with a minister or someone else depending on whether it can resolved at the lower level.

Paraphrasing him:
We went to Abuja to see Abacha. We were 100. They threatened to lock us up, only 30 agreed to see him (meaning 70 left after the threat). When they asked him to speak, half way the man banged his table (The minister), and said, from today, on port decongestion, this boy who is talking (which is Peter Obi), make him the chairman of the port. When he finished (an assignment that lasted 2 weeks), everyone was clapping for Abacha not knowing he (Abacha) wasn’t involved.

This is how a well known group of people in Nigeria whom we all know, started lies and propaganda of Peter Obi working for Abacha. They sleep, eat and dream lies, backstabbing and treachery.

Throwback:
But Obi was the one who brought up this matter before to boost his ego and profile towards the last presidential election.

Now he is trying to avoid any links to the military dictator while others were fighting for the return to democracy.

He is trying to undo the PR debacle he instigated himself.
What about Buhari that you people were ready to lay your lives for ?

Point of correction OP PO never said that he didn't met him " He and other prominent biz men met Abacha so that he can look into the issue of port congestion as at then" undecided . And there's nothing bad in that as a citizen to meet our leaders on issues surrounding us but to my supprise Abacha listened to them took their advice and made them the committee on import & export which PO headed, what surprises me is that Abacha is a leader who show concern and has a listening hear despite who we were made to believe he was unlike those we have in government today who only do the bidding of their political cabals a d doesn't care about common Nigerian

PO and others went to Abuja to see Abacha but met the minister. Not everyone who goes to Abuja to see the President gets to see him, but if they solve a problem, the President still takes credit.

At least the Lies and propaganda of Obi collecting ministerial appointments left and right under Abacha has been debunked.

Now the question is, why did ronus supported
Buhari for 8 years,
knowing fully well that he was appointed chairman of the petroleum trust fund (PTF) under General Sani Abacha for Approximately 5 years.

Re: Peter Obi: I Never Worked For Abacha, I Never Met Him by 9jatriot(m): 8:00am On Jul 07, 2025
You know the man is an impulsive liar. I do not think he was employed at any time to assist with any port congestion. He being an importer probbably just happen to be one of those who complain, so it is possible that the ports management were asked to do something about it. But as lamba that he is, he wanted to use that previous interview to claim glory for something that he most likely had no hand in solving, just that the thing backfired which is why he is now backtracking.

Even now, he is not able to still say the truth that he had nothing to do with the issue of helping to clear the port because that will expose the initial lie.

Person when use em mouth talk say even his family de record am when ever he talk na em, hoebidients de swallow his words like their savior.

2mch:
Peter Obi himself boasted about it! Now lying. Na wa o. I watched the interview when he said it. If you were appointed by Abacha, you worked for him. NPA is not a moi moi appointment. With how greedy Abacha was, I highly doubt he would not have had strong control over that board and been in touch with them.

Abacha asked you to decongestant the port. If it's even for half a day, let alone 2 weeks, you still worked for him.
Or was it Babangida that requested that you decongestant the port?
