In a video posted by Symfoni, Michael Piper who was a member of Obedience for a Better Nigeria accused Peter Obi of being extremely stingy, claiming that despite the wide support he received from civil society groups and media personalities during his campaign, Obi offered no financial support.
In his statement, he said;
”Peter Obi no dey give Shishi. He’s a multi-billionaire and one of the stingiest human beings you will ever meet, Even when we were campaigning for Peter Obi, even those who were bloggers, popular bloggers, he didn’t even give them money for data.”
Piper made it clear that he personally received nothing from Obi throughout the campaign period.
“I campaigned for Peter Obi for 8 months. I never received a penny from him. If Peter Obi gave me one naira, please, they should publish it anywhere.”
According to Piper, the Labour Party’s success in 2023 was due to the collective effort of civil society actors, not Obi’s personal ideology. He warned that Obi’s presence is now turning the party into a war zone.
