Pandora Papers: Peter Obi yet to receive EFCC invitation  

Kenny EMMANUEL

A former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, said he is yet to receive any invitation extended to him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). 

Obi said he could not therefore, have reacted as being circulated on different social media platforms.

He clarified that he only read letters circulating on the internet, just like everyone else.

Obi, in a press release by his media office, signed by his media aide, Valentine Obienyem, said a reaction which quoted Obi as requesting the EFCC to make their investigations public, among other remarks did not emanate from the former vice-presidential candidate.

The release said: “Obi is yet to receive the letter from the EFCC, which he read on social media like others.

“From what is circulating, the letter appears to have been sent to an office he is no longer part of and is yet to reach him.”

However, the release further read: “Obi being a law-abiding Nigerian will honour all legitimate invitations from government agencies at all times.”
