Peter Obi clarifies the role of the past in the final government of the Abacha gene

Former presidential candidate and labor leader, Mr. Peter Obi, has discussed a new public supervision of the involvement of his past by the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, offering what he described as “clarification for the benefit of truth and descent.”

In a post that was distributed on the official handle of X (previously Twitter) on Wednesday, Obi issued a letter that documented his appointment, along with other stakeholders, became a presidential duty group that was established during the Abacha regime to overcome the Nigeria Port Decongstion.

The task force was established to provide an urgent solution for increasing inefficiencies and delays in cleaning goods, which had influenced the wider trade and economy at that time.

“As I stated during my interview on weekends and was consistently maintained in the past, I had never met General Sani Abacha before the meeting,” Obi wrote in the statement.

According to Obi, his interaction with Abacha came not from his political affiliation or ambition, but from his role as a trader and importer concerned during the 1990s.

“Our meeting with him is borne by collective concerns as traders and importers for prolonged delays in cleaning goods at the port,” he said. “We approach him not as a political actor, but as a caring citizen who is looking for pragmatic solutions for something that affects economic activities and livelihoods.”

Obi continued to emphasize the pure nature of civilization from involvement, emphasizing that the aim was to advocate greater efficiency in port operations. “Our intention is clear: to advocate efficiency, and to propose practical steps to restore normality in port operations for the benefit of a broader business community and, in the end, the Nigerian economy.”

Responding to the accusations that suggest political opportunism or hidden agenda in his past transactions with a military regime, Obi rejected claims as encouraged by “crime makers with hidden motives.”

“I do not expect this excessive evidence to bury this Abacha case because a crime maker has a hidden motive,” he said, “but placed in public spaces for children and grandchildren and in line with my transparency promise to Nigerians about whatever problems I was involved.”
