My Meeting With Peter Obi In 2022

 
By Ade Damola

For my security and the privacy of some comrades I will try to be discreet about certain things, but I will try to safely say some things.

I met former Governor Peter Obi in Abuja for the first time and at his instance and invitation in 2022…He didn’t offer and I didn't expect him to give me any money…

I hope I won’t appear be too arrogant if I say I would have considered it an insult if he had offered me any money...

In fact it was at the end of our conversation that he apologised for not even offering us water to drink after discussing for hours… I   think I mentioned this publicly after that meeting; my response then was that there was nothing he could have offered us that would have been more than the time spent.

By God's grace there’s nothing he could have offered me that I  can’t afford … I was only excited to meet him and till date I still remember the details of that conversation and it fuels my conviction that the nation lost a great man in 2023.

His aides repeatedly came to him that Abia State Governor, Mr. Alex Otti, was waiting to see him… He sent them back to plead for more time until we finished our conversation.

When Deji Adeyanju says Obi offered him money to support him I laugh because I know for certain that it is not true...offered him money for what? 

Deji will only be too happy to have been in the meeting with the people I met Obi with....no joke...
