Smh abeg reason well before you talk rubbish. I didn't write anything concerning his wealth or if he was successful as a businessman or not. No change topic.
If he isn't materialistic as you claim, what does he need such apartment for? How often does he come to Lagos? Wouldn't it be cheaper if he stays in an hotel? Even if he stays in a luxurious hotel for a year, the bill won't amount to the rent for the flat in Ikoyi. I'm sure if you read this quote below, you will realise he is not only materialistic but a phony person.
Being materialistic on his own earnings shouldn't pinch you. It's his money for crying out loud. You people will never be objective about anything. Attacking his person won't make him any less Peter Obi than he already is. And the "phony" quote you posted is mere gossip. No evidence to back it up whatsoever. That's just another rambling and making unverified allegations which sadly is what an average Nigerian knows how to do best. I am not saying he is a saint but then Is there a law that says if you do not spew hate about someone, especially people you know so little about you may fail in life somehow? You guys are unbelievable!!!

I laugh at your assertion, because it's not been revealed by the media that he owns a house in Festac, it's gossip? If not for the Ikoyi cash discovery would you have know that he has a property there? Besides don't you see correlation of his own side of the story that says he doesn't stay in the house (Ikoyi) and hers , saying it's been ages in lived in the house in Festac. What you fail to realise is that people around these public figures have eyes, they see and have access to the Internet/media.

Saraki has been wearing his black leather wristwatch and few shoes(he especially wears a pair of long black shoes that look like crocodile a lot) ,Saraki has one suit and a blue tie but his loot can open a shoe, watch,suit and tie factory. its nothing new to us,Nigerian politicians are full of deceit. Peter Obi should learn more from Saraki how to fake it to the public.
Saraki even makes it obvious that he's only deceiving himself cos even a broke student has more than one tie but some fools would come to radio saying he's rich and doesn't need public money(in support of him) and yet he would be in Abuja wearing one sky blue tie. who is deceiving who? these politicians should know by now that Nigerians are not foolish

This guy is playing smart. Ok mr clean, you have had the same wristwatch for 17 years, but you have the money to buy/rent such an expensive flat and leave it empty! Even the wristwatch you are touting, how much did you pay for it? Anyway, good luck as you kick start your campaign ahead of 2019.
Selective memory at its best! Before he was governor, founded Fidelity Bank, Guadian Express Bank, Futureview Securities; he was a director in Chams Nig Plc and other companies. He employed 1000s of Naija youths without stealing from govt. tell us what other politrickians had acccomplished before venturing into politics

Hahahaha.., so a family man that has a house which is occupied by his wife and children now needs permission from you or to inform you as to where the location of such should be because he was once a governor? You guys really need to quit making unverified allegations just to trump any public figure's reputation cos it always comes off as inferiority complex. Say he owns/owned a house in Festac, do you know if at this moment the ownership of such place still belongs to him? Does your source also know who's signing papers and what not? Like I said earlier, a business man like him who makes his money may decide to be extravagant or spend it how he chooses, It's his money, he was last a governor 4 years ago but still, this man doesn't come off as such. His mind is too busy for the materialism and being phoney that you tagged him.
Alot of all these mediocre politicians who have way less worth in cash and assets than him are the ones you see on the news everyday owning 14 SUVs, exotic cars and landed properties all round but you feel Mr Obi is a phoney based on hear say? You people really need to give it a break. If to want to have eyes and ears on the ground let it yield valuable and verifiable proofs e.g whistle blowing and not attacking the person of a man with gossips, that's what it is.

smd...did you read the part she said its been donkey years he stayed there and the place is guarded by police men? to you verified information only comes from news/media right? Do you need the media to tell you your neighbor is Mr. A despite you seeing him daily or you need the media to tell you if he is still a tenant or not as well? You see the internet never forgets or lets say photographs, his claim of having just one wrist watch in the last 17 years has been revealed as s stupid lie. Photographs of him with different wristwatches have appeared online. Next will be his false claim of having just 2 pairs of shoes.I am not talking about other persons, i am talking about Peter Obi, he made the remarks, not others.

He is a politician and he is only selling himself as a prudent candidate for whatever elective post he might have interest in seeking.

Guy nobody will use $600k as rent and then claim financial prudence. The worst is that he now claims to have paid and left it unoccupied.
I don't usually enjoy responding to your type...Those flats are SOLD or leased not rented...And Peter Obi LIVED FINANCIAL PRUDENCE BEFORE, DURING and AFTER government House...He stays in that flat WHENEVER he's in Lagos just as Valentine Obienyem confirmed too...But he lives in Onitsha... EVERYBODY cannot be your extravagant and AVARICIOUS Rochas

cheesy I don't need to read what an anonymous member here wrote to know Peter Obi...and to see how biased you are...you believed the guy but refused to believe me even when you had NOTHING to substantiate his or disprove mine...why? ...Maybe you visit Anambra state by weekend and pay a visit to his compound... probably you will begin to understand and believe him... ONLY greedy and heartless politicians from Anambra state stand against him otherwise EVERY sincere human there LOVE him for his PRUDENCE and SINCERITY!!!

If you may know, majority of his business in Nigeria is in Lagos...do you need to know what he needs the house for again? And the flat is SOLD or LEASED and NEVER on annual rent as dubiously propounded here...

How much is an executive suite in Ikoyi or VI etc? So how's it cheaper than such apartment? We have SEEN, READ and EXPERIENCED so many stuff about him to understand that he's more than a mentor to any sensible youth...

Finally, he CHALLENGED Buhari and co to CONFISCATE any property BELONGING to him outside the one in Onitsha...So how else can such a billionaire businessman and politician prove his PRUDENCE and NON-MATERIALISTIC nature?

He said he doesn't stay there. that is wastage, why pay such an amount for rent/lease (1 year) and not stay there? even if a friend or relative occupies such it makes a whole lot of sense. lol See you trying to justify the Ikoyi flat. How often does he stay or come to Lagos? If you multiply the number of days he stays in Lagos by the cost of an executive suite $2435 (the most expensive from my search), it will give you the sum of N346,622,250 @ N390 for 365 days in a year which he obviously does not stay in Lagos for that period of time. Lets assume he is in Lagos for half a year, cost of an executive suite will be N172,836,300. I am sure you will agree with me its cheaper than N250m. |That is N78m gap assuming he stays half a year in Lagos which i strongly doubt. Considering he is prudent as you claim or made to believe i am sure he wont go for the most expensive suite.
I am not saying he is not a successful businessman who cant afford whatever he desires or does not have a sense of prudency. My assertion is that those claims are lies, directly from hell!

IGNORANCE is your issue...Why not check and read to see that it is NOT ANNUAL payment? Can't you read that the apartment has been SOLD to the OCCUPIERS according to Adamu Muazu(landlord) for 250m per flat? Can't you read where his spokesman(Valentine) said he BOUGHT the place? Can't you read where he said HIS WIFE & CHILDREN stay there? So how can you believe he has a property in festac because a faceless member said so but won't believe him when he CHALLENGED authorities to seize any such property? If he didn't steal/waste Anambra state BILLIONS which weren't his SWEAT, how can he waste his own sweat? Does it make sense to you? I strive to be a politician in the mold of Peter Obi...he's mentor bro...He's not a typical Nigerian politician...He plays POLITICS OF IDEAS not Nigeria's POLITICS OF BLACKMAIL & INTIMIDATION...!!! God bless us all bro...

AMEN! you win on the property. lol you funny oh! The person who blew the whistle that made you know he has a flat in the building, is he/she know? I hope you know people act as fronts for these politicians, the Festac property or another property might not be in his name, if none is in his name, he can boldly come out to lay claim of only the property in Onitsha. ill give you an instance, Allison ex miister has a private jet, its being held in another persons name, this is someone i know. Now if there are allegations or search is conducted to verify if she has a private jet will she be found wanting? hell no! My stance still remains, he isn't what he claims to be.

Yea...MOST politicians are DUBIOUS beings...but I hope to be like Peter Obi should I stop playing politics in my laptop alone. His politics of IDEAS is UNIQUE and can SAVE any society including Nigeria...but daredevil thieves and looters will spare NOTHING to taint him because he renders them HOPELESS and their ways USELESS...I am not totally in support of Obiano in Anambra state because in trying to run away from the shadows of Peter Obi and make his own mark in Anambra state politics, he recruited ALL the thieves, blackmailers, propagandists, and looters including Op of this thread who Peter Obi chased away in order to run a HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL government in Anambra state...Ask any politician or sincere Anambra guy how his reign was and why he's HIGHLY reverred unlike other politicians including Obiano...

I have NO EVIDENCE...but there's no other justification for a man who took out his time to register SO MANY monikers just to spread LIES and HATE against Obi...He NEVER misses to cast aspersion on him always...Dig out any Obi related thread to see him insulting the man(Peter Obi) while praising his predecessor(Ngige) & his successor(Obiano) to high heavens...Can anybody compare what Obi did in Anambra state to what these others achieved? No...Peter Obi is in a class of his own...So why the hatred? MONEY !!!
