Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has debunked claims linking him to the late Gen. Sani Abacha’s infamous military regime, saying his engagement under the junta was purely civic and not political.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, came under renewed criticism over allegations that he was politically affiliated with Abacha’s administration—an era marred by massive corruption, human rights abuses, and clampdowns on civil liberties.
