Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential contender, has declared that he does not value having a home or land in Abuja.
The statement was made by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain while having coffee with KayhikersClub in Abuja.
Peter Obi claims that he chose not to acquire property in Abuja in order to avoid needless difficulties.
He said, “I don’t have a house in Abuja, I don’t have a land and I’m not preparing to have because I don’t need it.
“The more you have all these things the more headache you put on your head, for years I have never been sick, why would I? Because it’s not necessary.
“I was the chairman of our regulatory body, Security and Exchange Commission, SEC; the day I was announced, I arrived and the DG showed me a jeep, a Prado and they told me how much allowance I have for accommodation and I told the DG, ‘I just want to come for meetings here, I don’t need anything from you, any day you fix meeting, tell me I would come. I don’t want your sitting allowance, your car, and your house.
“He said it’s my entitlement, but I said whatever I’m entitled to, God has given me.’
“You can go and ask whether when Peter Obi was the chairman, did he collect anything?
“I was Chairman of Fidelity Bank and they told me that I’m entitled to Mercedes 500 or Range Rover, the bank is still there, go and ask them if I collected anything. I told them that I’m the chairman and whatever I need in my house I have, unless you want to bring a headache to yourself.
“I have enough, I don’t need to do give away but what I need I have.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
