Peter Obi reveals why he doesn’t own house or land in Abuja

Obi, speaking at a public event, emphasised that having multiple assets can become more of a burden than a benefit.

I don’t have a house or a land in Abuja. I’m not even preparing to have, because I don’t need it. The more you have all these things, the more headache you have,” he said.

The politician’s remarks have sparked a range of reactions online, with some praising his apparent contentment and others questioning his transparency regarding property ownership.

Obi suggested that simplicity and avoiding unnecessary complications were priorities in his personal life, reflecting his philosophy on wealth and property management.
