Edo Commissioner Afegbua Accuses Peter Obi of Deceit

Kassim Afegbua, the Edo State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, publicly accused Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, of living a false life. In an interview with Symfoni TV, Afegbua criticized Obi's claims regarding the debt situation in Anambra State when he left office as governor.

He stated that contrary to Obi's assertions of not taking foreign loans, records from the Debt Management Office (DMO) indicate that Anambra State was indeed in debt at the time of Obi's departure. Afegbua also mentioned that there were outstanding gratuities and pensions owed to workers during Obi's administration.

He pointed out discrepancies in Obi's personal claims about his lifestyle, specifically referencing Obi's assertion of owning only one shoe and a wristwatch, while suggesting evidence of multiple wristwatches. Afegbua concluded that Obi's actions reflect all five types of lies, indicating a pattern of misrepresentation as he seeks the presidency of Nigeria.
