The Convener, Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju, says the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, could not be trusted not to steal public funds.
He said this while reacting to Obi’s comment that he is richer than US President Joe Biden and therefore has no reason to steal public funds if elected president in 2023.
The Herald earlier reported that the LP candidate made the comment during an outing in the United States.
“I say to people, President Biden is worth 8.9 million USD. Why should somebody like me steal public money when I am richer than the American President? I am already over-blessed by God,” Obi said in a video that has since gone viral.
Reacting, Adeyanju alleged that as Governor of Anambra State, Obi took billions from the state’s coffers and invested it in his family business.
“After taking billions from Anambra State and putting in your family business, we should now trust this statement.
“Anyways, you are all the same with Atiku & Tinubu. Only Sowore is yet to be trusted with public funds in Govt,” Adeyanju wrote on Twitter on Monday.
