Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has boasted of his problem-solving qualities, claiming he once washed a dirty British Airways toilet.

Mr Obi cited the example to support his leadership capacity during a space chat on X with his Obidient followers on Monday.

“We were coming back on British Airways years back; I was a serving governor. The entire toilet was messed up. She opened that toilet to use it; it was messed up and she walked away,” Mr Obi said.

The former Anambra governor said he washed the messed-up toilet that the person who entered before him had walked away from.

“I went in there, and she came back. The entire place was cleaned. She didn’t even tell me, but she told a minister and somebody else where she works in the office.

“She said, ‘I can’t believe this’. The people called me; I said I cleaned it because maybe I would be the next person that would go back there to use it,” Mr Obi said.

He added, “When you see things that are wrong, clean them. I don’t have house help in my house; everybody knows that. Let us stop all this fake life.”

British Airways has not made any comment on the allegation at the time of filing this report.
