Peter Obi And The N255 Million Naira by vigasimple(m): 12:03am On Jun 07, 2009 |
It was on the AIT focus nigeria some days ago about the Governor of Anambra Peter obi, who gave his aides N255 million in cash with goverment vehicles and security to carry. when the aides were arrested, they said that oga governor owns the money and asked them to go and change it into dollars. when the police speak with peter obi, he acknowledge ownership, and he came to lagos and said that it was a contractor monies that needed to be paid in cash ( i am not sure whether the police asked him, is it a contractor in Nigeria- who has no bank account, or an overseas contractor who needed the money to be exchanged and courier to him . A Governor of a state who does not know about MONEY LAUNDERING being a criminal offence both in this country and overseas, most of his mates are arrested abroad, and the money confiscated , and facing criminal charges for the same thing, That money is equivalent to £1 million pounds, in one go. This man PETER OBI will be THIEF if the allegation is true, AND A THIEF has no other name. What is N255 million doing in LAGOS, he is the governor of Anambra state, when does he becomes a courier for a contractor , even if the contractor needs the money in cash, can they not give the contractor cheque to be cleared in Anambra, or immediate bank transfer,. what does a contractor need N255 million cash for in one day? is it to take it away from record, at minimum Peter Obi should be impeached and prosecuted for Embezellment if the allegation are true, fraud, money laundering, and even if his story about contractor is true, he will still be guilty of accessory, conspiracy to defraud Anambra state. Liar and a thief, they are usually first cousins What do you guys think? 2 Likes 1 Share |

One man's 255 million naira is another man's one million pounds sterling. Among true patriots, it is essential that support must be expressed whenever a state governor in Nigeria decides to invest public funds in his private Swiss bank account. Praise the Lord ! |

@ jakumo At think the standard of thieving has so advanced that even 'money laundering' or stealing from the public purse of N255 million from a state account is now 'seen' as no big deal. I noticed that your comment is just hilarious because we have all become comedians in order to have sanity. People will bark when you steal billions but they never realised that people who steal billions start from a quarter like N255 million, and on another day, they will just multiply it by 4 and voila it will become a billion Naira, and the states, country is in dire need of infrastructures. We must all stand up to thieves, they are stealing the present and the future of this country, monies meant for the well being of everybody is being stolen by one man. 1 Like |

Oh Obi is a humble thieve,think he should have ask his predecessor how they perfect their acts. He is new in the business,but when he got caught plea bargaining is the penalty. end of story. |
Re: Peter Obi And The N255 Million Naira by vigasimple(m): 3:45am On Jun 09, 2009 |
I heared the guy OBI get 40% cut in every contract he awarded. Now, how much does the contractor get in profits assuming he/she has to do the contract, or is it a case of just taking the money and no contract. Apparently Anambra is now the most lawless state in Nigeria, and OBI excuse is that it is political enemy causing problems when he continue on a monthly basis to take N250million out of Anambra which is the equivalent of the security vote for that state. Anuofia liar and a thief. |
Re: Peter Obi And The N255 Million Naira by Kobojunkie: 3:58am On Jun 09, 2009 |
Wait a second, why are you dudes disrespecting our Obi? He may be an anuofia but he is Anambra's anuofia and the people want him back because he speaks well. Don't forget that this is the guy that gave us VIPit Latrines, and told us that if the federal government did not fix the Niger bridge, it would collapse before last Christmas.

Re: Peter Obi And The N255 Million Naira by FrankC3: 6:39pm On Jun 10, 2009 |
Hey, guys, i watched the same program and the whole story looked too disconnected. The guy that was complaining was the same guy presenting Obis's side of the story. It may true but we have not heard from the gov or his aides directly. I am tempted not to believe the guy, Obi sounds and behave too clean for that. Was it not the same Obi that Dr Obiogbolu was saying that he wanted Anambra politicians to die of hunger. See i was part of the delegation that once met this guy under student union body. He rebuked us practically for starting our presentation by telling him that he is doing well, that he expected us to come up with suggestion on better ways of doing things. And you know what? for the fund drive we went for, the guy gave us money from his personal account saying that it is because some people may not agree with the project we want to use it for and that he is the gov of the whole Anambra state. You need to see this guy in any Nigerian airport, i'd met him 2 times, once in Abuja and Lagos and this guy does not even use their VIP whatever. Now, the guy on AIT said that he came to Lagos via Ghana air, the question is from which airport and when did Ghana air start taking Enugu or Owerri-lagos route. Look deeper, you may see some 2010 guber plots underneath. I may be wrong anyway, anything is possible but i hope it is not true because i will totally be dissappointed! 2 Likes |

I think the governor should be arrested. Every payment ought to be done either electronically or via a bank for traits. The guy is a crook and how come they weren't sent using the official rides? |

All it takes is ONE TV special on AIT and you people are all calling for his head. Can any of you vouch for the veracity of the story on AIT? vigasimple: 'I heard' has no place in a court of law. It's also inadmissible as evidence. If all you have to back up your ire is mere hearsay, then you may well be the fool in this matter. 1 Like |

I just hope all of this are unconnected to next year's Anambra Guber election spin as we speak someone who calls himself a PDP leader is pleading with Yar'adua to declare a state of Emergency in Anambra State So that if that happens, a military administrator who will be PDP's puppet will be there to perfect the PDP rigging plan I will take this news about N250 million with a pinch of salt while the whole drama plays out. |

Re: Peter Obi And The N255 Million Naira by vigasimple(m): 2:19am On Jun 11, 2009 |
Kobojunkie: I noticed that Nigerians have this 'preference' for some people, and forgeting that we are all humans, and in any events every politicians whether in Nigeria or elsewhere have political paymaster as in godfather, so they are more likely than not tainted but people who came from where governor OBI come from, or his towns men, clans men , from same local authority will vouch for him and will be in self denial. Imagine when YAR A'LIAR first came to office, he said he is rule of law, due process, but show me your friend and I will tell you whom you are, IBORI,AOODAONNKA is YAR A'CLUELESS friends, he is then the chairman of 419 plc. period. All the transactions in the N255million saga has been admitted by Peter OBI through him directly and through his commissioner for Infromation, and all those his 'friends' on the forum are saying it is hearsay and it is the enemy and his political opponents. One big question, what is the Governor aides doing with N255milion on a sunday in Lagos with goverment vehicles, and OBi is the Governor of Anambra state. The law says that no transaction above N500,000 naira must be transacted in cash by state government. Even if he has any explanation for the N255Million, his position is untenable because as a chief officer of the state he himself does not obey the law and cannot expect anyone to obey the law as a result of his actions 2 Likes |

Re: Peter Obi And The N255 Million Naira by dnex(m): 2:26pm On Jun 11, 2009 |
I have always believed Peter Obi because of his struggle to gain the governorship job in Anambra and especially because of his innocent looking facial expression till a friend of mine in VGC Estate Management informed me of the contract they'd gotten to supervise the construction of Peter Obi's house in Lekki, Lagos. It is disheartening that any governor of a state will leave their own state to go creating jobs, taking investment to, and developing infrastructure in another state. This property is valued at over N200 million. Who knows whether he built it on credit and now wants to use this couriered money to pay. I'm sorry for Anambra state and the kind of leaders they've been cursed with. I'm amazed at some people that will continue to point fingers at "enemies". It would have been 100 times easier for the PDP to tackle the electoral tribunal in Anambra and maintain the other Uba fellow than to trying setting up Obi years later with hundreds of millions of Naira. There is no thief that will throw away the spare keys he has to a rich man's house, only to come back trying to climb and electric fence, break a window and cut a burgulary protector. None!! This is a thief caught on duty. He definitely was sending the money down to a contractor but is it the one building the Lekki-Epe expressway which he wants to help Fashola pay on behalf of all Anambra indigenes in Lagos or is it that his personal house in Lekki he wants to pay his contractor for after having duly passed the budget for it to the State House of Assembly and gotten approval to construct a magnificent edifice only fit for the Anambra state governor. I just don't want to hear that excuse of ENEMIES one more time. @asha80 I couldn't help but notice one Daniel Kanu being among the authors of that story you posted. Hmmm, I hope it is not him whom I'm thinking that is he whom he is. I hope so sha, that is not the Daniel Kanu of YEAA because I will find him and kill him. Thank you. 2 Likes |

I use God beg una, which one be ukwakipoporeport.com again? Those ones don jump into the matter with various implicating statements? How can a report tell you that the suspects had a secret meeting and same report will tell you what transpired during the secret meeting? I do not intend in any way to support the governor, but no rumour monger should be allowed to use this as an opportunity to use lies to gain fame. They even know what the governor thought in his mind and why, how, and when he thought. Please let's leave propaganda out of this. |
