However, Obi, a former governor of Anambra state has yet to make a public declaration of his assets as directed by SERAP.

“I also recently opened a @capitalone US bank account that has in it about $300, I have a @ZenithBank campaign account for the #Sowore2023 Presidential account. I have nothing more besides financial support that I occasionally get from friends and family (if those count as assets),” he added.
