A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi, has declared that he has no house or landed property in Abuja.
Obi explained that his decision to avoid unnecessary
headaches made him not own properties in Abuja.
The former presidential candidate spoke at a coffee hangout
with KayhikersClub in Abuja.
Obi said: “I don’t have a house in Abuja, I don’t have a
land, and I’m not preparing to have one because I don’t need it.
“The more you have all these things, the more headaches 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.”
