Peter Obi Denies Meeting Abacha, Releases Appointment Letter From Junta
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has denied meeting former Head of State, the late General Sani Abacha, clarifying his relationship with late ruler.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Obi released an official appointment letter from 1996 to debunk allegations that he worked for the military leader.
Abacha ruled Nigeria from 1993 until his death in 1998.
His regime was criticised for widespread human rights violations, suppression of dissent, and large-scale looting of public funds.
Many critics had accused Obi of secretly collaborating with the Abacha regime.
But the former Anambra State governor released a document appointing him to a Federal Government Task Force on Ports Decongestion.
