Peter Obi to Nigerians. ---- My car was singled out amongst many cars and was clapped.
48 hours later, Minister of aviation Festus Keyamo @fkeyamo releases CCTV footage to discredit Obi, but got disgraced.
Peter Obi to the world. ---- I am not a thief, i am not corrupt, i have not stolen one naira of government's money, i don't own a property that is linked to government money, i don't collect pension as a former governor, i rejected all the lands allocated to me as a sitting governor. EFCC investigate me, ICPC, investigate me, code of conduct bureau investigate me, police investigate me, DSS investigate me. APC government, if you have any evidence linking me to corruption please put it out and prosecute me.
EFCC since 2022 ----- Errrr, but Errrr
ICPC since 2022 ------ Errrr, but Errrr
CCB since 2022 ------ Errrr, but Errrr
Police since 2022 ----- Errrr, but Errrr
DSS since 2022 ------ Errrr, but Errrr
APC government since 2022 till today on Peter Obi and the word corruption,
Errrr, but Errrr, but Obi Errrrr, but Errrr.
If APC have anything incriminating against Peter Obi, they would have released it since to the public. They will ensure international media outfits publishes and circulates that story globally.
It took Festus Keyamo just 48 hours to release CCTV footage, but since 2022, the entire government agencies saddled with the responsibility of investigating has found nothing against Peter Obi. Since 2022, the entire APC and Tinubu's government can not fault Obi's claim with any corruption linked to him.
Mention one ex governor who can publicly claim that he is not corrupt, that all the security agencies should investigate him and bring him to book.
Mention one APC government official, even in this current government who can publicly claim not to be corrupt. Who can publicly claim not to be a thief.
Who can publicly claim not to have stolen one naira before. Who can publicly claim not to have benefitted from government money. Who can publicly claim not to have received government landed allocations.
It can only be Peter. It's either Peter Obi or no one else.
If E no be Panadol, E no fit be like Pamadol.
For 2027, Peter Obi is the only man we Nigerians can trust with our yam and fish. The rest are rats, cats and goats.
Tinubu must go, is a call to National duty in 2027 for patriotic Nigerians.
Vote Peter Obi, vote OK, vote NDC.
@MoLaje01@peculiarchichii Yariba after selling his house to an Igbo will still want to be the Landlord and the Igbo man that bought it will be expected to be a tenant and give “respect” to the Yoruba man. What an uncanny people
TO THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF AVIATION, MR. FESTUS KEYAMO
Contrary to your account of events surrounding Mr. Peter Obi’s transit through the Abuja Airport on Saturday, July 4, it has become necessary to set the record straight.
Mr. Peter Obi does not have any police or civil defence personnel attached to him in Abuja, despite being entitled to VVIP protection by virtue of his status as a leading opposition figure in Nigeria. He certainly does not have a police officer serving as his driver. Your reference to a “police driver” appears to have been based on the assumption that he enjoys the level of security protection ordinarily accorded to someone of his standing. He does not.
Mr. Obi travels through multiple airports across Nigeria well over a dozen times every week. As someone who frequently travels with him, I have personally witnessed repeated instances of unusual discourtesy directed at him by some government personnel.
From your own account of events, it is evident that the incident Mr. Obi referred to during his interview occurred on a different date and at a different airport from the one referenced in your tweet.
However, let me address the incident you chose to publicise.
KEY CLARIFICATIONS
1. The incident you posted is entirely different from the one Mr. Peter Obi narrated in his interview. In that interview, he clearly stated: “I was there…” In the incident contained in your tweet, he was not present.
If we now have at least two separate incidents in which vehicles associated with Mr. Obi were clamped under questionable circumstances, does this not suggest a pattern of targeting an individual simply because of who he is?
2. The entire sequence of events you referenced, from arrival to the eventual clamping of the vehicle, lasted approximately five minutes.
At most airports around the world, including major international airports, a ten-minute drop-off window is generally considered acceptable. Where, then, did the claim of 30 minutes originate?
Do you not agree that half-truths can sometimes be more misleading than outright falsehoods?
3. Is it not a fact that several other vehicles were in the vicinity of Mr. Obi’s vehicle without attracting similar attention from airport officials? Indeed, some of those vehicles had been parked there long before Mr. Obi’s vehicle arrived, yet none was clamped.
4. I have personally been at the airport on several occasions when serving and former government officials arrived in large convoys, blocked access routes, and caused considerable inconvenience to the travelling public, without any agency of government taking similar action.
5. Under your watch, there have been other high-profile airport incidents, including:
The disruption involving Senator Adams Oshiomhole and airline staff.
The incident involving Mr. Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1), a known associate of the President, who allegedly attempted to prevent an aircraft from departing.
You are undoubtedly aware of both incidents.
Where was this same enthusiasm to instigate public outrage and issue official condemnations? Was CCTV footage from those incidents also released, or was the CCTV system only activated when it involved Mr. Peter Obi?
6. Can the publication of CCTV footage detailing Mr. Peter Obi’s movements on your personal social media platform be considered a serious breach of his personal security?
Your footage established no wrongdoing. Instead, you further exposed the movements of a leading opposition figure whose security concerns are already significant.
Would you release equivalent CCTV footage of other presidential candidates of Mr. Obi’s standing who travel in private and presidential aircraft funded by taxpayers?
Should a leading presidential candidate not be accorded security protocols consistent with democratic best practices?
I've interviewed presidents, governors, generals, activists and politicians. But sometimes it's the interviews with the families left carrying the emotional burden that stay with you.
A few days ago, I interviewed the lawyer Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai. She spoke with the precision of a legal expert and the pain of a spouse.
She didn't ask me to defend her husband. She didn't ask Nigerians to take sides. She spoke instead - quietly but powerfully - about constitutional rights, due process, access to lawyers and doctors, and the emotional toll prolonged detention takes on a family.
It reminded me that behind every politically charged courtroom battle is a human story.
Whatever anyone thinks of Nasir El-Rufai politically, one truth remains: the rule of law only has meaning when it protects people whose politics we may disagree with. That is why due process is not a favour. It is the foundation of democracy.
Power is temporary. The legal precedents we tolerate today may become the standards - and the nightmare - we all live under tomorrow.
Two things has happened after that Peter Obi powerful interview with Chude.
1. The kidnapped victims were released
2. Keyamo released a video to prove Peter Obi was truly targeted .
Many more to come.. Peter Obi speaks, they listen.
