The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has said Peter Obi got away with lies during his 2023 run for the presidency.
In a post on X, Keyamo said Nigerians are now ready to fact-check him as the 2027 general election approaches.
He said, "I see some suggestions that everyone is ‘obsessed’ with Peter Obi because we are always talking about him. I am sorry, but they miss the point. When someone lies per second, you also have to fact-check him per second. He got away with the lies in 2023, but this time Nigerians are ready to fact-check every claim of the ‘yes-daddy’ man.
"Therefore, to put it simply, the amount of time we talk about Peter Obi is directly proportional to the amount of lies he tells."
Galaxy TV reported that a former spokesperson for the defunct Anambra State Water Corporation, Victor Ononye, dismissed Obi's claim that he did not owe workers' salaries when he left office as Anambra State governor.
Ononye revealed that staff of the water corporation suffered terribly for eight years under Obi's administration.
He shared on Facebook, "Yes. I can verify Fact No. 3 of Soludo's submission. The staff of Anambra State Water Corporation, where I was the spokesman, suffered terrible gnashing of teeth without salaries, pension and gratuity for eight years. The workers were unilaterally dismissed without committing any offence.
"The same fate was suffered by staff of Anambra State Environmental and Sanitation Authority (ANSEPA) in the administration under review.
"Hundreds of people died in the anguish. The few who survived did so by the special grace of God. Ask anyone who lost his entitlements what it feels like to do so. Don't forget that the victims are our brothers and sisters.
"The ripple effect is that for eight years, there was nothing like pipe-borne water in Anambra, and people lived as if nothing happened. Dirt, filth and squalor, sickness and diseases became the order of the day. The multi-billion Naira Greater Onitsha Water Supply Scheme has now been converted into a fish pond, while similar water schemes at Enugu and Abakaliki are working to this day. Shame on you all."
