Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has declared that he will cease his campaign if anyone can demonstrate that he accepted 1% of the Labour Party’s donations.
On Tuesday, Obi made the promise in an exclusive interview with Oseni Rufai on Nevon Media.
He was responding to a claim that he and human rights advocate Aisha Yesufu embezzled money intended for the general elections of 2023 from the Labour Party.
I don’t listen to people who are talking incoherently. He claimed that we deducted 10 billion naira, or $30 million, from the Labour Party’s account. The account is where?
Soon, I’ll add each accuser to the list of people I want to come forward and prove that I embezzled money from the Labour Party’s account or that there was any financial mismanagement.
Obi declared, “Look, I will stop campaigning if anyone can prove that I took 1% of the Labour Party’s donations.”
