Peter Obi Reveals Wealth, Davido Reacts on Social Media

In a televised interview that went viral, Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and presidential aspirant, discussed how he accumulated his wealth, estimated at around $15 million held offshore. The interview, hosted by Oseni Rufai, aired on 12 September 2026, and included Obi's response to allegations from the Pandora Papers.

Obi explained that he ran a brand and market management company, held the sole franchise for Heinz products in Nigeria, and was the sole agent for South African Breweries. He also mentioned working with Novartis and owning significant shares in several banks, having served as chairman of at least one before his gubernatorial tenure.

Obi illustrated that his wealth predated his political career by recalling receiving one of the first American Express Platinum cards in 1987. Following the interview, Davido reacted on X, stating, "None of them can try it 😂😂," which drew attention due to his active involvement in Nigerian political discussions.
