I Was Never Involved In The Struggle For Democracy In Nigeria; Even In University, I Never Participated In Students Politics – Peter ObiIn a statement issued by the Head of Obi-Datti Media, Diran Onif
ade, on Wednesday night, Obi said he was informed of a fictitious and scurrilous write-up titled, “Peter Obi and NADECO/Democracy Day” and that there was no iota of truth whatsoever in the narratives contained therein, as he was never directly or indirectly involved in the activities of the June 12 struggle.
The statement noted that “While he supported and voted for the late Chief MKO Abiola in 1993, soon after the election he relocated to the United Kingdom with his family where he ran a decent successful business that received encouragement and support from credible finance institutions all over the World because of the integrity and reputation he put in it.
According to the statement, before becoming the Anambra Governor, Obi never worked or held any government position, adding that he never worked in Nigeria Ports Authority and that the closest he came to late Gen. Sani Abacha’s government was when Obi's petition on port inefficiency and congestion made his colleagues in businesses draft him into the special committee on port reform that lasted for just three months.
“This is the man some hirelings are making fruitless efforts to dent his image by fabricating lies against him including saying that he was against June 12 when he was not even resident in Nigeria during the June 12 imbroglio but leaving in the United Kingdom and could not have been involved as the faceless writer dubiously wanted the gullible public to believe.
