Presidential candidate Peter Obi challenges Nigerians to scrutinise his background and publicly identify any wrongdoing he may have committed. He makes the challenge during a town hall meeting with voters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, part of an event branded “Obi Talks Nigeria.” Obi says both he and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, have made their personal and educational details available for public verification.
Across the reports, Obi frames his request as an opportunity for voters to know his record and verify it. He highlights that he and Kwankwaso have provided information including dates of birth and schools, and that the public can check these details. The outlets also note that Obi links the remarks to wider political scrutiny ahead of the 2027 elections.
One outlet adds that Obi references an ongoing legal dispute with former campaign spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo, who has claimed to have damaging information. Obi says he has sued the individual in court and urges anyone with specific claims to state what they believe is wrong so the public can assess the matter.
