Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has said he does not own any house or landed property in Abuja, explaining that he prefers to avoid the administrative burden of maintaining multiple properties.

Echotitbits take: Lifestyle narratives resonate in a climate of anti-elite sentiment. Expect “asset discipline” and integrity signaling to feature more prominently as political competition intensifies.
