Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday claimed that Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate Peter Obi is the most scrutinised former state governor because he is the first Igbo politician to have a “fighting chance” of becoming Nigeria’s president since the Biafra civil war.
In a statement he signed, Ejimakor maintained that Obi’s tenure as Anambra State governor was characterised by prudent financial management, zero debt and notable investments.
Ejimakor said: “There’s no other ex-Governor that can boast of what is contained in the screenshot below. None!
“And this is not happening to Obi just because he’s an ex-Governor. It’s happening because he’s running for President.
“So, it has gone from a mere spat between Soludo and Obi to a grand national conspiracy of ethnic partisans who are alarmed that Peter Obi is the first Igbo man that appears to have a fighting chance of clinching the presidency since the end of the civil war.
“It is a stark irony of Nigerian politics that Peter Obi, a former governor whose tenure in Anambra was defined by prudent financial management, zero debt, and visible investments in infrastructure and education, remains the country’s most heavily scrutinized ex-governor.”
Ejimakor also expressed concern that while politicians accused of unexplained wealth and corruption continue to operate freely, Obi’s record has remained under close examination.
He added: “While politicians with documented histories of systemic corruption and unexplainable wealth walk free with minimal pushback, Obi’s public record of integrity is constantly dissected under an aggressive microscope.
“This double standard exposes a flawed political environment: in Nigeria, transparency and accountability do not shield you from endless political targeting; they inexplicably make you a bigger target for partisan witch-hunts.”
