| Peter Obi & Bianca Ojukwu. |
Former Nigerian Ambassador and widowed wife of Biafran warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu, has exposed or discloses one of the very close encounters she had with the former Governor of Anambra State and now, Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, against the backdrop of what the controversial god of man, Rev. Fr, Ejike Mbaka preached of him recently to his congregation.
The
Catholic priest and spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, had on Wednesday, called
out Mr.
Peter Obi for being a stingy man and his comments elicited harsh reactions from
his supporters.
On
her post on her Facebook account titled, ’On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’,
the matriarch, remembered when Peter Obi, then governor of Anambra State, visited
Texas and had declined buying a designer suit for an event but instead, opting
for a $220 worth of suit.
She
said, “The suit that was a perfect match for him was a dapper Tom Ford suit
with a price tag of 3,985 dollars plus tax. He did the calculations and told me
‘Do you know how many students this amount of money can train in Nigeria?
“To
cut the story short, he refused to pay what he termed ’that outrageous price’
for the Tom Ford suit and that was how we ended up at Steinmart where he agreed
to pay a more acceptable price of 220 dollars, tax inclusive, for a basic men’s
suit which he was happy to wear to that evening’s event.
“What
struck me, was that as we were on the way to the airport to see him off for his
return flight back to Nigeria, he reached for his pocket where he brought out
an envelope of crisp hundred dollar bills. The amount in the envelope was 3,800
dollars.
“He
said ‘Anyanwu, this is the balance of the money I would have paid for the
‘Ford’ suit. If the label on the suit was ‘Peter Obi’, I am wondering if
anybody in America will pay that amount for it. I have deducted the amount we
paid for that suit we eventually bought. Please use this balance for your
Charity foundation to assist those in actual need. I trust you will do so’.
We all laughed heartily. Vintage Peter Obi!”
Chief
Bianca Ojukwu went on to list the beneficiaries of Obi’s gift via her
foundation.
