Peter Obi gifted Haiti Anambra’s money while doctors were on 13-month strike: Presidency
Bayo Onanuga, presidential spokesperson, has berated former Governor Peter Obi as a hypocrite for criticising President Bola Tinubu’s offer of scholarships to St Lucia students.
Shortly after Mr Obi lashed out at Mr Tinubu for offering scholarships to St Lucia students while schools are on strike in the Federal Capital Territory and about 20 million out-of-school children roam the streets in Nigeria, an X user, @Riddwane, posted a photo of Mr Obi donating funds to the Haitian government in 2010.
“Peter Obi, this was you in Haiti in 2010, where you donated Anambra money to rebuild a country whose people never knew Obi of Onitsha.
“You took this action during the 13-month doctors’ strike that paralysed healthcare in your state. Have you ever practised what you preach?” @Riddwane posted.
Amplifying @Riddwanne’s message, Mr Onanuga reposted it, saying, “Bitter Peter is a hypocrite of the worst order.”
Mr Onanuga’s retort comes about 48 hours after Mr Obi took a swipe at Mr Tinubu for abandoning Nigerian out-of-school children to offer scholarships to St Lucia students.
