None Of Them Can Try It” — Davido Sparks Political Debate After Peter Obi Explains His Wealth

Afrobeats superstar Davido has challenged Nigerian politicians to publicly explain how they accumulated their wealth, following former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi’s account of his business background and financial history.

The singer reacted after journalist Rufai Oseni shared a video clip from an interview in which Obi discussed his business career and financial activities before venturing into politics.

Introducing the clip, Rufai asked: “Can every Nigerian politician tell us how they made their money like this?”

Davido responded: “None of them can try it,” seemingly questioning whether other politicians would be willing to publicly provide similar explanations about the sources of their wealth.

During the interview, Obi said he had established a successful business career before joining politics. He spoke about his dealings with international brands and his interests in the banking sector.

The former governor also addressed questions surrounding his wealth and offshore assets mentioned in the Pandora Papers, maintaining that he accumulated his wealth before entering politics.

Obi further stated that his involvement in politics had negatively affected him financially, although he said he had no regrets about serving in public office.
