Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi has denied claims that he recently acquired a mansion worth about N650 million in Enugu State.<\/p>\n
\u201cContrary to the reports on social media, I didn\u2019t buy any house in Enugu or elsewhere,\u201d Obi tweeted, \u201cI do not need a house outside of Anambra for now, and I am committed to living in my house in Onitsha.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Twitter user named CBN Gov Akinsola Ak, whose profile suggests he is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), posted a picture of a gated house, claiming it was acquired by Obi.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnambra former governor, Mr. Peter Obi acquires \u20a6650 million Naira mansion in Enugu,\u201d Akinsola, whose Twitter bio indicated he was a member of the communication and strategy team of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign organisation in the last general election, said on Twitter.<\/p>\n
Obi\u2019s aide on media Valentine Obienyem said although his principal is not a poor man, he did not buy any house in Enugu or any other place in Nigeria apart from the one he has in Onitsha.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen His Excellency, Barr. Sullivan Chime. was the Governor of Enugu State, he allocated a choice plot of land to Obi, who told him he did not need it because he would not live outside Anambra State after being a Governor of Anambra for eight years, except any fresh duty compels otherwise,\u201d Obienyem said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe same offer was made by the then governors of Delta and Abia states, but Obi refused because he said he would not live in those states.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
