Onanuga Critiques Obi's Financial Integrity Claims

Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, accused Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), of failing to practice his own financial advice. Onanuga's comments came in response to Obi's assertion during a radio interview in Nasarawa State that Nigeria could have been wealthier if public funds were left in banks to earn interest.

Obi claimed that his administration had funds in three different banks and condemned the culture of dishonesty among public officials. In his rebuttal, Onanuga alleged that Obi has undeclared offshore assets, referencing the Panama Papers which reportedly exposed Obi's offshore holdings during his tenure as Governor of Anambra State.

He characterized Obi's statements as hypocritical and accused him of misleading his followers.
