Peter Obi Scores Another First, as he Rejects Plots Of Lands Given to him During his Tenure as Governor of Anambra State
The man Peter Obi. Not want to exploit office for the purpose of gluttonous acquisition or wealth. A character trait that is prevailant among our elites today-Dr.Doyin Okupe, the D.G Peter Obi campaign on his Twitter handle @doyinokupe today.
Documents have shown how the Labour Party presidential flagbearer and former Anambra State governor rejected plots of land offered to him by the Anambra State Housing Development Corporation (ASHDC) during his tenure as governor of the state.
According to the documents, the former governor was offered two 1107m2 pieces of land at Hillview Housing Estate, Nkwelle-Ezunaka, for a paltry 100 thousand naira.
Two letters signed by Mike Nwafor, then Managing Director of the ASHDC, on the 13th of February, and 7th of May, 2007 and addressed to the Obi, said Plots 29/L255 and 29/L254 were offered to the governor in “appreciation of his efforts in the realization of the estate.”
However, Obi in his response, said it was wrong to benefit from the land allocation.
“My being governor is by the grace of God and I believe firmly that it is wrong to benefit from that. I became governor because I wish to serve my people and to do that devotedly, I believe I have to distance myself from the undue privileges of the office.
