This was disclosed in a statement by the spokesman of Apapa’s faction, Abayomi Arabambi.

The statement reads partly: “Our previous position has now been confirmed that Peter Obi was just all out to defraud our party of donations made towards 2023 general election which was in a scary sum of $15 million and N12 billion that Peter Obi deliberately used for the cure of Abure’s poverty lineage and help other Julius Abure IPOB irresponsible ethnic irredeemable irredentist supporters to have a lifeline.
“Peter Obi fraudulently converted all monies due to our agents across the country and they all refused to represent the party at all pooling units.”
