The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi on Tuesday stated that his campaign has not received 150 million Dollars in donation from diaspora sources. A group under the aegis of Tinubu-Shettima Connect had urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to disqualify Obi over the alleged funding as it violates the Electoral Act on campaign funding.
Speaking during a meeting with Nigerians in London, the former Anambra state Governor said the allegations were based on mere speculation. Obi has been meeting with Nigerians across the world in recent days, travelling through Europe and the United States. He maintained that his meetings were not part of campaign activities. The aspirant who has received widespread support from many young Nigerians, called for the 2023 elections to be based on merit.
