I did not donate N1 billion to COVID-19 fund — Obi

Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the last Presidential  elections, Mr. Peter Obi, has dismissed reports making the rounds in social media circles that he donated a billion Naira to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) relief fund.

“I have not donated to the fund,” Obi said in a statement issued on Tuesday afternoon by his Media Office and signed by Mr. Valentine Obienyem.

Reacting to the list of purported donors to the fund, which has gone viral, in which his name appears as number 33 and a billion Naira indicated as the amount he has allegedly donated, Obi said the issue at hand was “so scary and of great importance to the world, especially our dear country, to be tainted by any manner of fake news.” He implored purveyors of fake news to desist from that.
