I Have Never Sough Audience With President Tinubu Over Fidelity Bank - Peter Obi (13290 Views)

It's obvious that the biggest business for blackmailers now is talking about Peter Obi from every negative perspective. Even my solemn spiritual trip to Rome has been twisted into yet another blackmail campaign by merchants paid ostensibly to propagate anything negative against Obi.

One such individual, whose entire life revolves around blackmail, falsely claimed that I went to Rome to have a private meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding a purported ₦225 billion debt crisis involving Fidelity Bank. These claims are not only baseless, malicious, but entirely false.

Let me categorically state that I have never sought an audience with, nor met, President Tinubu since he assumed office, except about 1 minute meeting at the arena of Saint Peter’s Basilica Rome during the inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV, where I was seated behind, and had to respectfully greet him, and other dignitaries present.

I was previously in Rome on the 9th of May for the lying in state of Pope Francis. Immediately after the mass and exchanging pleasantries, I went straight from Vatican City to London, and then back to Nigeria.

The self-proclaimed "blackmailer-in-chief" and others who thrive on spreading pain and falsehoods have also claimed that I own Fidelity Bank. For the record, I do not. Throughout my career, I have served as Chairman/Director of 3 banks/Financial institutions, of which Fidelity is one of them. Fidelity has over 500,000 shareholders, none of whom hold a majority stake. What this blackmailer seeks is to harm these hard-working Nigerians and cause them needless distress.

To those peddling these falsehoods, and engaging in blackmail, I offer a simple prayer: May God grant you the virtues of gratitude and understanding to know that we came here with nothing and will go with nothing, that they cannot profit from their evil ways.

A new Nigeria is POssible.

Those who wrote that bunkum are slow.

Even if you want to meet president Tinubu about any issue, it can't be at Vatican

That's why you guys should be advising Peter Obi to stop turning himself into a nuclear reactor.

When I first saw the news, I knew it must be fabricated report which I didn't expect Peter Obi to respond to but here we are

He has to set the records straight on that fidelity bank jibe.
It is obvious that the mob of headless chickens who ostensibly thought that he "owns fidelity bank", are now all out to destroy the bank just to get at him.
Like he mentioned, the bank has over 500,000 shareholders and he is just one of them. There is no majority shareholder to start with!

Since the last presidential elections, they have been on his case about that bank. Some think he made his money from there. If he doesn't speak out, these agbadorian mutants will do everything to destroy the bank and its employees just to score a cheap point against one Peter Obi.

So maybe other shareholders encouraged him to speak out in the face of the legal abracadabra going on. Everyone knows the game being played here..

This was my comment in response to him displaying his airline tickets in response to accusations that he was bounced

casualobserver:


First of all no one asked for his tickets to London or Rome. It is not in dispute that he was in Rome. What he needed to show if he felt a need to shalaye was proof of his access or invitation to the venue. Personally, that he felt a need to explain himself is rather unbecoming! If you feel a need to explain everything you are not ready to be president!


If he is going to respond to every petty comment, then he shsould respond to real issues on which he chooses to be silent like the N200m found in his aide’s boot. His association with IPOB, his role in Dasukigate, his role in SARS and the bodies dumped in the river etc etc etc.

What you expect doesn't count. Peter's wisdom is far above yours and your ilk.

He did well to clarify this for posterity sake.

Erm, Peter Obi left fidelity bank centuries ago to go into politics. The bank has long since moved on. AM sure the people he knew there have either retired, or left banking.

Talking about fidelity bank, is it true that Peter Obi kept government money in the bank he has interest in back then which goes against government policy?
