A statement issued late Wednesday by Obi-Datti Media Office dismissed speculations that the company was liquidated by United Kingdom authorities, explaining that the owners voluntarily shut it down.The statement signed by Head of Obi-Datti Media Office, Diran Onifade, said: “For the record, the entity was 99 per cent owned by Next Nigeria International Limited and established as its buying office in the 90s and Peter Obi was its CEO.
It noted: “Peter Obi has consistently maintained that he is no longer involved in any Next related business.” Berating those politicising the issue, the statement added: “When our principal insists that you go and verify facts about him and the information he dishes out, he didn’t say go and falsify facts.
“The LP candidate’s antecedents in Anambra State for eight years and in private ventures where he held sway put him miles ahead in moral rating among the pack in this race for the presidency.”
