Daniel Bwala took to Twitter to challenge Peter Obi, urging him to disclose his campaign earnings, particularly in foreign currencies. Bwala emphasized the importance of accountability and transparency, referencing Obi’s extensive travels worldwide to garner support, particularly from cities in the US, Canada, and the UK. He called on notable figures such as Utomi Pat, Aisha Yesufu, and Doyin Okupe to witness the challenge amid allegations of infractions by Obi’s national treasurer and others.
Bwala’s request, devoid of insults, aimed at prompting Obi to respond honestly to concerns about his campaign earnings and expenditures. The challenge emerged following Obi’s decision to declare his financial standing, highlighting the significance of transparency in political campaigns and the need for public figures to be held accountable for their financial activities.
He said: “@PeterObi I challenge you in the spirit of accountability to also disclose your campaign earnings or lack thereof in forex currencies. You travelled the world to source for support and you got overwhelming commitment in that regard from cities in the US, Canada, UK etc. I also call on @UtomiPat , @AishaYesufu @doyinokupe to be witnesses to this challenge since your national treasurer and others are alleging infractions.
No insult, but honest request in response to your decision to declare your campaign earnings and expenditure.
