Setting The Record Straight: Sanwo-Olu And Peter Obi's Campaign

Ex-Spokesperson Clears the Air on Funding Allegations

Listen up, folks. Here's the deal: Nana Sani Kazaure, who used to be the spokesperson for Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed's Campaign Organization, has come forward to put an end to rumors swirling around Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Some people have been saying that the Lagos State Governor chipped in financially to support Peter Obi’s presidential campaign. But guess what? Kazaure is calling those claims total nonsense.

According to Naija News, Kazaure had a direct conversation with Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate. And let me tell you, Obi was crystal clear: he didn't get a single naira from Governor Sanwo-Olu. Not a penny. This isn't just hearsay; it's straight from the horse's mouth.

Why the Rumors Are Baseless

Now, let's dive a little deeper into what Kazaure had to say in her statement on Saturday. She pointed out that these rumors are part of a larger strategy by certain groups trying to stir up trouble for Governor Sanwo-Olu. It's like they're trying to find any excuse to take him down, even if it means dragging other people into the mix. But Kazaure wants none of that. She's urging those behind the rumors to stop involving Peter Obi in their political drama.

Here's how she put it in her statement: "A few days ago, a completely false and baseless report started making the rounds in some media circles. They were claiming that His Excellency, Peter Obi, got campaign funds from Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu during the 2023 general elections. But here's the truth: Peter Gregory Obi has never, ever received any money—directly or indirectly—from Governor Sanwo-Olu. Not a dime."

Who's Aisha Achimugu, and What's Her Role?

Now, there's another name that's come up in all of this: Aisha Achimugu. Some folks have been throwing her name around, suggesting she might have been involved in this so-called "donation." But Kazaure shot that down too. She said, "As far as Peter Obi knows, Aisha Achimugu is just someone who does charitable work, and that's it. He's never had any dealings with her. Any suggestion otherwise is completely false."

Kazaure went on to say, "The people behind this smear campaign really need to step up their game if they're going to try and make up stories. If there are forces in Abuja who want to get rid of Governor Sanwo-Olu, they should keep Peter Obi out of it. He's not part of their political games, and he shouldn't be dragged into them."

So there you have it, folks. The record is set straight. Governor Sanwo-Olu didn't fund Peter Obi's campaign, and anyone saying otherwise is, well, just plain wrong. Let's hope this clears things up once and for all.
