The Vice President candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi, has stated that he had never for once claimed that he had no house in London.
The former governor made this declaration in a press statement made available to newsmen by his media aide, Valentine Obienyem.
This revelation is in response to his critics who insist that the vice president candidate.
“During several media programmes, Mr. Peter Obi said Onitsha was the only place he owned a personal house in Nigeria.
“In an attempt to discredit him, some people are posting his London houses as the much-awaited evidence that he lied.
“First, let it be noted that the issue of having a personal house only in Onitsha is a matter of choice. If his lifestyle supports love for houses, Obi can afford to have houses in the 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“As for his London houses, it might interest the public to note that he bought his first house in London in 1987. All the houses he owned in London were purchased before he became governor of Anambra State and were all duly declared,” the media aide said in a statement.
