Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, has described Nigeria as a “crime scene” following revelations of massive financial irregularities in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC).
In a statement on Friday, Obi said the Senate’s recent audit findings on the NNPC between 2017 and 2023 revealed “₦210 trillion in financial irregularities,” including “₦103 trillion in so-called ‘accrued expenses’ and ₦107 trillion in unaccounted ‘receivables.’”
“There is no documentation. No accountability. No consequences,” Obi said.
He noted that Nigeria’s total national budget within the same period amounted to ₦88.01 trillion, which is less than half of the missing or questionable funds.
His words: “This is not just another scandal, it is a clear and damning confirmation of a nation held hostage by monumental corruption.”
Obi described the development as “a criminal institutionalised betrayal of the Nigerian people” and warned that it poses “a grave threat to the future of the society our children will live in.”
“No responsible nation can continue to function like this without confronting this truth.
“This criminality masquerading as governance must be stopped and dismantled for a better Nigeria,” he added.
Bro leave this people alone, Nigeria is ripe for destruction, a country where true and faithfulness are things of the old,
Obi kekerenke just continue relevance with his transistor radio news feeder to make everything politically negative scene to his advantage of selling himself as trust patriot Nigerian who can take us to promise land…. Nigerian beware of this man 100% if elected it will be dangerous than people we are dealing with presently
Tell us your reasons, Obi’s integrity n impeccable corruption crusade gives you people goose pimples because majority of you prefer we remain this way than being clean, after all d Jews asked for criminals be released n nail Christ who committed no offence
You mean it? Who are you? What he has said is it true or false narrative. You are either near the government or in governance and chose to be willfully ignorance
The former NNPC boss kyeri mele should be questioned along side Emefiele .The rot is when they were in power .
As for Obi is an opposition and we don’t expect less from him the truth however is that the Nigeria system has loopholes and fraudulent person are taking it which was was why NNPC didn’t give account for years until when BAT came in .Even CBN under Emefiele same thing happened also. I implore BAT to carry out real overhaul of NNPCL
They can’t account for 210 Trillions and no repercussions. Just restructure NNPLC and that’s all? You are all beneficiaries of these looting culture. You are all sick!!!
Because the money involved doesn’t flow from so-called western region, but the South Eastern and South South regions, and is squandered on projects in unproductive and ” my wife dey feed me” regions, like the Yorubaland. Do you see that ” egg” ? It will soon be broken and the little chick appears.
When People like you write we knew where you’re from
I weep for your generation…cos they gona be a generation of fools
Just stay there one they will sale you
U be fool. Somebody is telling u that a group of marauder, criminal and wicked people are stealing ur money instead u focus on this people u are focusing on the person that brought it to ur notice without questioning those who stole the money
See how hate have reduced you beyond clown. You sounded so senseless and evil just because you hated Obi. You will get your reward accordingly.
Go and learn how to be a patriotic citizen of Nigeria and stop being tribalistic, did you hear him mention BAT, he said since 2017 to 2023 is it not BAT regime that is probing the NNPC
Be bless my guy, you will live long.
Tribe has enveloped your sense of reasoning.
You’re very truth-economical dear.
Obi is a God sent
Your thoughts are completely unfounded for what ever reason best known to you.
I will liken you to look at the issue he reacted to and make your own input which you are entitled to.
We should as a people always rise to the occasion when it comes to national issues.
Thanks for your understanding.
I can fill the tribal bitterness in you, instead of the truth, continue to support the the evil process the consequences lives with me and you.
Your mumu never do . At your age now, you never learn
Just listen to yourself..
You are obviously part of Nigeria’s problem.
People blinded with tribalism and rubbish envy of people that rise to speak the truth.
By your rubbish talk u are surely an APC member.
May God forgive you all for SUPPORTING and defending EVIL TINUBU GOVERNMENT
Look at your English, writing nonsense in order to defend your brothers in power.
Take the message leave the messanger.
Trust whoever fits your conscience, and leave Obi alone. Nigeria will happen to all of us.
You lied.
At least you have acknowledged that the ones here now are dangerous. Let’s leave the unknown tomorrow alone.
It is unfortunate that at this point in time Mr Opeyemi is still been tribalistic, you left the subject matter and went on trying to undermine Mr Peter Obi. In your mischievous call, you said Nigerian should beware of Mr Obi. I want to believe your judgement is based on his past record as the Governor of Anambra State. I also want to believe that the inflation in the country is nowhere around you because you’re of the same tribe or region as Mr President. You can’t give what you don’t have. The inflation doesn’t look anyone in the face wether you are Yoroba, Hausa or Ibo.
You are insane
Am referring to you opeyemi Sunday for criticizing Obi when in actual fact he is doing the right by by coming against ills and corruption perpetrated by past government’s
What if Obi had said that the govt did it right by misappropriating the funds what could you had said? In retrospect you will be blaming him for supporting corruption
But noe he is against corruption and you are against him
Opeyemi you are just a lunatic without any iota of Nigeria nationhood in you
Obi is right for expressing his ill feelings over the missing and misappropriation of the funds
The mess has been going on for long. For the the betterment of our dear country, those people in particular should be thoroughly question.
If at all something like this is happening, Nigeria is been murdered as a nation.
Good talk brother
I expect more revelations if indeed we’re serious.
Can Asian politicians be this careless and greedy? Oh my God there is no more Nigeria!
Pointing out facts is awareness to certain matters. May God help us in breathing new life in governance cause all we’ve had so far are self centered person grappling for power and riches

Very pathetic of a nation
This country is finished
Go and learn how to be a patriotic citizen of Nigeria and stop being tribalistic, did you hear him mention BAT, he said since 2017 to 2023 is it not BAT regime that is probing the NNPC
Obi you are right. Thank God you didn’t mention President Tinebu. You are a pure patriotic Nigeria. I pray that God may give you the chance to help take this our country to the promise land
You’re very weird in your reasoning, no matter the level of hatred or bias biasness, can you imagine the total sum involved and what it can do for this nation, there wouldn’t have been any need to borrow from any institution and Nigerians would have been far better for all us, i don’t know what is your situation or that of your relatives.
I can fill the tribal bitterness in you, instead of the truth, continue to support the the evil process the consequences lives with me and you.
This is 20 years of Nigeria Budget, that is missing, What kind of rubbish talk is that. Can you imagine that kind money. Nigeria my country, divide this country make every one have his way.
I like obi
Tribalistic is killing u.u can never say the truth.if ur father is the head of country.would u be there while he mismanage countries fund? Be very cesrfull with ur useless talk
A country U want to govern is what U called a crime scene. Choose your word OBI, when referring to Nigeria on papers or any form of electronic media.
May God bless the current regime and lead them to those who are reaping more than the masses owners of what they were stealing. 2017 to 2023, this too much. How will our system work, compare to the Asian and European nations?
I think people should examine their sense before replying to public write up or news,and its better to shut up if they dont have things of common sense to talk rather that writing trash,pple should not be biased of what iam about to write,cuz iam neither a Labour Party man or APC,so iam writing as an independent Nigerian,my question is,Is Obi the achitect of this revelation of this missing trillion???? The answer is NO,it was revealed by same lawmakers of same APC,so y would people want to crucify Obi for commenting on this mind boggling revelation?? Does him have right to comment on it as a Nigerian,lest even leave Labour party aside
I wish dis country will be divided even into 4 places welder by war or by any thing possible bcos de worst is already happening so i expect even de war just for de people to AV dem peace.
APOSTOLIC REVIVAL MOVEMENT IS SAYING BAT GOVERNMENT IS IMPROVING NNPC. TINUBU REPAIRED NIGERIA REFINERIES. ATIKU PROMISED TO SELL NNPC.
