THESTORIES reports that the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has vowed to quit campaigns for the 2023 general elections if anyone proves that he accepted land gift while as governor of Anambra state.
He made the vow at the palace of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, in Edo state on Friday.
Oba Ewuare II recalled a viral document which claimed that Obi rejected land allocation from the Anambra state government while serving governor.
“Your Excellency, somebody showed me a letter where land was given to you in your state and you politely returned it that you don’t need it; that you are there to serve and so on. Correct?” the first-class monarch asked.
“Very correct,” Obi responded.
“If anybody sees a piece of land allotted to me, my wife, any of my family members, directly or indirectly when I was governor, I will stop campaigning,” the LP presidential candidate noted.
