‘I never said investment in SABMiller now worth $100m’ — Obi blames ‘one youth’ for misinformation | TheCable thecable.ng/i-never-said-i…
Obi said this in a letter to @CCSoludo, governor of Anambra state, on Thursday, through his media aide, Valentine Obienyem.

The former Anambra governor blamed “one of the youths, not under our control, but eager to throw in anything that glorified their hero — Obi”.

#SABMiller
In a 2018 interview, Obi had said he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of Anambra state as a governor.

Obi’s claim was in response to questions on economic development, Anambra politics and his presidential ambition.

“… Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it, over $20 million,” Obi had said.

“It is worth almost $100 [million] today. That’s what government should do.”

TheCable had previously fact-checked the claims. The Soludo administration also revealed the invested amount and current stake in the deal, contrary to Obi’s claims.

OPINION BY SIMON KOLAWOLE: @atiku’s candidacy and Nigeria’s delicate balance | TheCable thecable.ng/atikus-candida…
.@simonkolawole: If power does not go to the south in 2023, the pivotal role of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will have to be scrutinised.
His life ambition is to be president of Nigeria and his influence on the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) effectively ensured that the main opposition party did not zone presidency to the south.
