Don't Mislead Nigerians – Land Owner Confronts Peter Obi The woman at the center of a controversial land ownership
dispute in Lagos, Mrs. Olorunlogbon, has issued a scathing response to former
presidential candidate Peter Obi, accusing him of politicizing and
misrepresenting facts surrounding a property demolition that recently gained
public attention.
Obi had taken to his X handle to decry the demolition of a
property he claimed belonged to his family. However, in a full-length
statement, Mrs. Olorunlogbon accused Obi of peddling contradictions and
misleading the public on a matter that is currently sub judice.
Full Statement from Mrs. Olorunlogbon:
“The Instagram post by Peter Obi, as shared by
'lindakejiblogofficial', is highly lopsided as it is just an ornamented account
of a biased individual.
The post seeks to sway public opinion on a land matter that
is subjudice.
In one breath, Mr. Peter Obi claims the property in question
belongs to his family. In another narrative, Mr. Peter Obi claims the property
belongs to his brother, who, until now, is faceless. In another statement, Mr.
Peter Obi claims the property belongs to a company in which his brother works.
The truth now appears to be that Mr. Peter Obi is not
connected with the property at all but is hired to use his personality and
media contacts to politicize and sensationalize a matter that is under judicial
view.
Nigeria is not a lawless country, but certain persons who
think they are above the law like Mr. Peter Obi are the ones promoting
lawlessness in the country. If Mr. Peter Obi—whether hired or not—will always
give a balanced account of events in Nigeria to viewers and listeners, there
will be less impunity in the country.
Mr. Peter Obi knows very well that the suit number of the
suit by which judgment Mrs. Olorunlogbon took possession of the property is
boldly written all over it. The person for whom Mr. Peter Obi is working has
also joined issues in court over the property. Rather than wait for the court
to decide the case, Mr. Peter Obi has gone to town to whip up sentiments to
expose the proceedings in court to ridicule. This is undermining the judiciary
using undue public opinion and sentiment.
Apart from the judgment, Mrs. Olorunlogbon has Certificates
of Occupancy and other relevant Government documents over the property. The
property belongs to her and she can use it the way she deems fit until the court
rules otherwise.
This disobedience to valid court judgment being exhibited by
Mr. Peter Obi in the guise of social media literature has earlier been
orchestrated by the servants of Mr. Peter Obi’s principal, and the case was
reported at Zone 2 Police HQ Lagos.
Invitation letters were extended to them, confirmed by Mr.
Peter Obi himself, but they refused to honour the invitation. Rather, Mr. Peter
Obi has now resorted to self-help and extra-judicial machinery in the form of
social media which, in a lawful country like Nigeria, is brazen contempt of
court.
Let whoever hired Mr. Peter Obi come forward with their
documents to match Mrs. Olorunlogbon’s documents over the property and judgment
will be given. That settles it all.”
The statement comes in response to widespread public
reactions following Obi’s post, where he emotionally described the alleged
demolition as an injustice against his brother. Critics have noted
inconsistencies in Obi’s description of the ownership, further complicating the
narrative.
