Peter Obi Denies Plot To Become Vice President In 2019
Former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi has denied rumours he is gunning to be the PDP vice presidential candidate in the 2019 general elections.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja, Obi also denied demanding N7billion from the incumbent governor of his state, Willie Obiano.
He urged Obiano to join him in church and swear an oath on the N7billion controversy.
Obi said: ”Why would I need the money and then go to beg the person I handed over to give me N7billion? I would have taken it. Let us be rational about all these.
”What is the idea behind this? It is sheer madness for anybody to do it. Not even in a family business, I cannot leave money and then go back to beg my brother talk less of handing over to somebody who is not my brother and who can change tomorrow.
”So, it is sheer blackmail, I have never and I am a Christian. I am not supposed to swear but I can put my hand in any form of oath to say I have never discussed with anybody to be paid any amount.
”Let Obiano himself come, let us go before hierarchy of our church or anything to swear. I have never done that and I will never do it.”
