EKO HOT BLOG reports that Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has claimed that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, is the only flagbearer accused of corruption.

This online media platform recalls that leaked files, which were retrieved from 14 offshore service firms around the world and revealed in a Pandora Papers project had shown how Obi failed to declare assets kept in tax havens.
The Pandora papers claimed that in 2010, Obi reportedly set up his first discreet company in the British Virgin Islands, and named the company Gabriella Investments Limited after his daughter.
The papers said the LP candidate reportedly first approached Acces International, a secrecy enabler in Monaco, France, to help him incorporate an offshore entity.
He was also said to have been a director of Next International (UK) Limited for 14 months after becoming the governor of Anambra state.
In a series of tweets via his Twitter page on Monday, Omokri said Obi has failed to sue the Pandora Papers for the report released in 2021.
He added that Obi lacks the competence to govern the country, stressing that he cannot be compared to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
He wrote: “In corruption, Obi is the only Presidential candidate amongst the four major candidates who was mentioned by the Pandora Papers as having corruptly enriched himself. Till today, Peter has not sued them. If it annoys you, that is YOUR problem! I will keep saying it.
“A candidate’s education and records are part of the issues. In fact, they are the main issues. If you bring sentiments into game of logic, you will lose. In terms of education, Peter Obi is at the bottom of the barrel, with his second class in Philosophy. Deal with it!
