Claims that Barrister Julius Abure, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, gave N850 million to Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate for 2023, have been refuted by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the Chief Spokesman for Obi-Datti.
In response to Mr. Calistus Okafofor’s accusation, Tanko declared that Obi had not received any money from the party and that the charge was untrue. Rather, Tanko pointed out that Obi was the one providing the party with financial backing.
Tanko pushed Okafofor to provide proof if the chairman had in fact informed him about providing money to Obi for political reasons in a statement that was made accessible to Newsmen on Wednesday.

Tanko highlighted that he was closely following the campaign and knew about the most of the costs, and as far as he was aware, the party did not provide money directly to Obi for his campaign rallies nationwide.
Tanko went on to say that Obi and his allies are aware of the current campaigns of slander directed at the head of the Labour Party, which are meant to destroy him because of his growing popularity among Nigerians.
Tanko stated, “We are aware that people are already scheming for 2027 and it is unfortunate that certain individuals have chosen to divert attention from the high rate of insecurity and poverty that are currently threatening the very existence of our nation by constantly attacking the personality of Peter Obi.
“Those are the enemies of Nigeria and Nigerians but l know that God will disappoint them and rescue our country from their grips whether they believe it or not,” he added.
