Wednesday, September 16, 2026 -The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described that he is a billionaire in naira.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, dismissed claims
that he is a billionaire in United States, US, dollars.
He spoke while responding to questions on ‘Keeping It Real
with Adeola Fayehun’ podcast in the US.
The NDC presidential candidate explained that US dollars is
the standard used to measure billionaires.
But, according to Obi, he has a billionaire status when his
wealth is measured in naira.
Obi said: “You know they calculate billionaire in dollars.
In naira, yes I am (a billionaire) in naira but not in dollars.
“You know dollars is what they use to measure. Dollars is
what they use to measure billionaire, it’s always in dollars but in naira, yes
I am. Capital yes.”
Obi is currently in the US for his presidential campaign
engagements.
