The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Abia State, Alex Otti, says the party’s flagbearer, Peter Obi, should be commended for his prudence while in power in Anambra state.

Otti stated this on Wednesday during a one-day South-East LP stakeholders summit titled ‘Roadmap 2023 Election Path To Victory’ held in Enugu.

The LP chieftain said Obi actually left $155 million in the Anambra State coffers for his successor, Willie Obiano, and also left some investments behind.

Otti revealed that he was the Managing Director of Diamond Bank when Obi was Governor of Anambra State and knew about all the monies left in the state coffers.

He disclosed that he personally saw to helping him secure Eurobonds with the $155 million, securing tier-two capital in some of the banks.

The governorship candidate said some of the investments made have maturities up to 2023 and as such, some of the monies have not matured.

Despite Wike’s Logistics And PSquare’s Presence, Peter Obi Fails To Pull Huge Crowd At Port Harcourt Rally

The Labour Party (LP) campaign rally in Port Harcourt might be tagged successful but the presidential candidate, Peter Obi, failed to pull a massive crowd like the opposition parties.

Naija News earlier reported that the LP Rivers State campaign rally was held on Thursday, December 22, 2022, at Liberation Stadium, Elekaiah Port Harcourt.

The River State Governor, Nyesom Wike provided Peter Obi with logistics and security as promised for the rally, and Nigerian singers, PSquare also stormed the event to thrill supporters.

However, Peter Obi didn’t pull a mammoth crowd to fill the stadium as empty seats were spotted at the event.

A video of the PSquare performance which emerged online also shows some parts of the stadium which was empty.
