A yet-to-be-identified individual purportedly associated with Mr. Peter Obi’s presidential campaign has been accused of misappropriating a donation of N60 million meant for the campaign.
The accusation surfaced through @MissPearls, a vocal supporter of Obi, who revealed the allegation via posts on her social media handle.
According to @MissPearls, the donation was intended for Obi’s campaign, but a middleman allegedly pocketed the entire sum, prompting Obi to demand a refund from the middleman to the donor.
She emphasized Obi’s intolerance for corruption and suggested that the situation would unfold in the coming days.
When contacted for comment, Yunusa Tanko, a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, emphasized Obi’s stance on accountability for funds received.
While Tanko did not confirm the incident, he reiterated Obi’s insistence that funds received for specific purposes should be properly accounted for, ensuring transparency and integrity in campaign financing.
Tanko emphasized that Obi’s call for accountability prompted scrutiny of donations, even those of which he was previously unaware.
