Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2019 election, Mr. Peter Obi, has raised the alarm over a leaked plot to blackmail him.

Obi raised the alarm in a statement issued on Friday by his Media Office, signed by his Special Adviser, Mr. Valentine Obienyem.

“The present effort to blackmail Mr. Obi is by some prominent Nigerians, including a present Governor in the South-East. Our informant, whom we have no reason to doubt, revealed how five of them were invited to a meeting on how to nail Mr. Peter Obi so that, according to him, his ‘rising profile will be dimmed for good’,” Obienyem said in the statement.

He quoted the informant as saying: “Watch out; soon you will see a group call a world press conference, speak of the insecurity in the land, appeal to anybody with information on the causes to help the Government solve it and finally drop the bomb by linking Mr. Peter Obi to the sponsorship of the Biafran movement through offer of money to sustain the agitation and use of Biafran boys for selfish end, including winning of elections.”

“Though our informant refused to disclose the name of the Governor behind this and the main person he is using, he assured: “In the fullness of time, the plot will unfold and the characters will become apparent on its own.” He however added that some of them are not comfortable on the way the tide is moving and may finally opt out,” Obienyem further said.

He noted that “most of the previous efforts to blackmail Mr. Obi by some prominent people through hired hands backfired, because the truth eventually prevailed”, adding that “the present plot to make trouble for an innocent man will similarly come to nought as far as Almighty God remains on the throne.”

Defend yourself fast before we change our mind

Obi should go and meet Fr Mbaka to cleanse him from political failure instead of running when no one is pursuing him. Nobody has his time.

Damage control before e burst

A clear conscience fears no accusation

Methinks it's still premature for the former Governor to push the panic button, there is always avenues to seek redress over false accusations in whatever guise.

Rising profile ke?


You mean playing second fiddle to Atiku??

Rubbish! You stole so much money as governor and killed over 100 massob in conjunction with Awkuzu sars. You cannot sweep your sins under the carpet. You must pay for your sins against the people of Anambra state and Nigerians in general. Making noise about blackmail won’t stop the truth from coming out.

Ofonja muslimumus on the beat.
They have seen that by every logic the SE is in prime position to get the presidency and Peter Obi is in a prime position for that based on his stellar performance as governor,so that s for the recent spate of attempts to smear his reputation.
Afonja muslimumus have a big bone stuck in their throat,cos if you start to talk about zoning,then you must zone it to the end,wc means the SE since GEJ has been there for SS and Obj and fake pastor Osunbande have been there for the SW.
If they claim it is a matter of "we worked hard for it" means abokkis are even in a better position since the North worked the hardest for osama BinHari's presidency.

Obi is the most credible politician Nigeria has ever seen and that has not made him appear good in the eyes of other politicians who envy his record and the way he is being used as a yardstick for good governance

Even when Atiku picked him up as his running mate in the last presidential election, they also tried but found nothing on him

That was how the small Kaduna demon Hell Rufai tagged him an ethnic bigot

He made a very smart move by leaking their plot showing he is a step ahead of them

They should look for another story to use and blackmail him because this in particular is already foiled

All 5 Igbo governors worked against Atiku presidency because they hate and are jealous of Obi and secondly because the fools were promised fake VP position in the APC if they Buhari re-election.

Igbos are really judases of the highest order. They should stop calling Yorubas back stabbers because they are worse than the yaribanza.

The blackmail is towards securing a VP position by one of the 5 herods leading the nigger Judas lands of nijeriya.

A man I respect so much.


Take away tribal sentiment and this man and Osibanjo would have been the best presidential material for this country at this material time.
We need frugal, smart and empathic leaders. But trust me, 2023 Nigerians will elect another disaster again.
A country deserve the kind of leaders it get

Yawn

Rising profile?

The last time they attempted to blackmail him by claiming he did not pay taxes he went to the tax office with tax returns from 1980s of all his businesses, the tax Officer was embarrassed and didn't even know what to check. The guy is so meticulous with documentation that it's hard to nail him down.

I doubt this man stole as much as you claim or as much a Tinubu your role model

Obi and his followers are nursing their hopes for 2023. They should first pray that Nigeria survives until then...

Where is your location? And what happened to your old because you are just creating this today. Hope you are not a scammer.
