A former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has reacted to the cryptic statement released by the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
The statement shared via Obi’s verified Twitter handle on Tuesday evening read in part, “Sometimes as humans, we make mistakes but, I will never knowingly break any law. I am therefore not afraid of the lies and propaganda against my person. They are part of the journey to a New Nigeria.”
It comes barely two weeks since UK immigration officials detained Obi at Heathrow Airport in London in circumstances that remain unclear.
Reacting to the statement, Fani-Kayode said, “Peter’s Obi’s claim that he never “knowingly” broke the law speaks volumes and suggests that he broke it “unknowingly”.

“Sadly for him not knowing that you broke the law when you actually broke it is no defence and in any case there are some crimes that are known as “strict liability offences” which do not even need any premeditation.
“Whichever way if Peter violated the law in any shape or form, knowingly or unknowingly, he is in trouble and he will have a case to answer.
“What, if anything, is he really hiding?
“Is it drug-dealing, drug-smuggling, human parts trading, human trafficking, fraud, misappropriation of public funds, money laundering, 419, murder, conspiracy, treason or all of the above?
“Only God knows and only time will tell!”
Fani-Kayode said something around Obi “smells very badly”, adding that “…that in the next months the cat will be out of the bag and he will be totally exposed”.
Many people out there are trying to make Nigeria ungovernable.
During the Civil war many Rich people suffered from Adult malnutrition more than the poor . Those used to good life were the hardest hit.Don’t ask how it would be this time because many nations will close their borders against Nigerians. Swim and sink in Nigeria.
