‘I didn’t pay media to praise me’ – Obi fires back at critics

Published on June 09, 2025 at 10:16 AM

Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party has said the only reason some critics claim he didn’t do well as a governor is because he wasn’t in the media to advertise himself.

Obi specifically stated that some individuals attack him because of his concern about giving out money that belongs to the public.

The former Anambra State governor stated this in an interview with Arise Television’s Morning Show anchor, Rufai Oseni, which was aired on Monday.

Obi further claimed that the only place he has a house in his name is in Anambra State.

He said: “Go and ask all the donor agencies who was the first to pay his counterpart funding. Ask everybody.

“The only reason I didn’t do well – I wasn’t in the media. I wasn’t going about paying media people advertising myself and everything. Because, maybe, because I have a little bit of concern about giving people money, because it was public money, that’s all.

“Otherwise, maybe, if I was advertising myself, nobody will be... But to show you what it is, come and live in Anambra today.

“The only place I have a house in my name, owned by me, is in Anambra State. I’m inviting you any day in Anambra State. Let’s walk the streets and people will tell you who is this man.”;
