Former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has told a tweep, he doesn’t have money to fund a court case if sued.
Gatekeepers News reports that a tweep, @FakeBuhari had issued an ultimatum to the former vice presidential candidate, to declare for the presidency by the end of the month or be sued. This was after Peter Obi tweeted about the Super Eagles.
He said, “Sir, if at the end of this month and you don’t declare interest for presidency in the 2023 election, then be ready for a legal action from me. Leave #AFCON2021 for Orji UZOR Kalu, that’s his calling, not yours. Your calling is excellent economic leadership.”
Quoting the tweet, Obi responded, “I wish I knew your real name. But the truth is, I don’t have money to spend on a court case o. Give me some time .”
The politician had in October 2021 denied having hands in his campaign posters being circulated both offline and online, and on different social media platforms.
A statement made available by his Media Office and signed by Mr Valentine Obienyem, said that the office had been lately inundated with clarifications on Obi’s Presidential posters being circulated through various media platforms.
The statement said, “As a faithful party man, Obi will abide by the final position of the party on the issue. We frown on people’s preoccupation with the next election when the situation in the country urgently calls for all hands to be on deck towards the restoration of security, eradication of poverty, creation of jobs and provision of other productive ventures for the country’s teeming unemployed youths, improving education and making health care accessible in the country.
“These are precisely what Obi is concerned with right now.”
