PDP Alleges Bank Accounts Of Peter Obi And His Wife Have Been Frozen

According to PDP, the bank accounts of its Vice Presidential
candidiate in the 2019 election, Peter Obi and that of his wife,
Margaret, have been frozen by the Buhari-led government. Read the
statement from the party below

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organization
(PPCO) decries the stoppage of transactions on all accounts belonging
to PDP Vice presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, wife, his family
members and their businesses by agencies of the Muhammadu Buhari
administration.

Since his nomination, Peter Obi, apart from facing series of failed
attempts by the APC to destroy his reputation, has also continued to
receive all manners of threats and blackmail, including threats to his
life and those of his wife and children.

Having realized that the majority of Nigerians are rallying behind
the duo of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi as the our Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates respectively, the Buhari Presidency and the All
Progressives Congress (APC) have resorted to all manners of
machinations, including smear campaigns and direct attacks on their
persons and business concerns, in a bid to run them down.

The Buhari Presidency is intimidated by Peter Obi’s resume,
particularly, his general acceptance as epitome of fiscal
responsibility, frugality and transparency in governance.

Otherwise, why is the Presidency on a wild goose chase in
investigating Peter Obi, who left office as Governor of Anambra state
five years ago with a nationally acclaimed clean record, intact
reputation for frugality, transparency, zero tolerance for corruption
and leaving behind a huge saving of N75 billion naira in cash and
investments; without owing any salaries, pensions, gratuities or even
contractors for contracts executed.

The fact remains that the Buhari Presidency and the APC are merely
shadow boxing in their attacks on Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, as their
records before Nigerians speak for them.

All discerning Nigerians know that the reasons for an investigation
on a man like Peter Obi, is a journey to no where aimed to stifle him of
funds as well as attempt to distract our campaign and divert attention
from the failures of the Buhari administration.

It is ludicrous that President Buhari would continue to condone the
looting of our treasuries by his party leaders and the cabal in his
Presidency, which even, the First Lady had even alluded to, only to be
using government agencies to attempt to blackmail our Presidential and
vice Presidential candidates whose reputations stand clear before all
Nigerians.

The PPCO reminds President Buhari that neither he nor Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo was in 2015, as candidates, harassed, attacked at the
airport or subjected to blackmails, and wonder why they are now
employing such tactics just because Nigerians have resolved to do away
with them, come 2019.
