They added that this is not the first time Obaigbena would go exile. During the late General Sani Abacha’s regime, Obaigbena went on exile for several years. He returned after the death of the late military dictator.

The rumour mongers are shouting on the rooftop that during the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime, Obaigbena again went on exile to South Africa. He returned during the Late President Musa Yar’Adua’s Government.

They said that in 2015, after former President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated by former President Mohammadu Buhari, Obaigbena went on exile after document showed that his company, GHL, collected N670million from former NSA, Sambo Dasuki for “energy consulting.” The N670million was from funds meant to buy weapons to fight Boko Haram. He returned after negotiating a soft landing deal with the Buhari’s administration.

Besides, they added that shortly after President Bola Tinubu’s elections as President, Obaigbena proceeded on another self exile to the UK for fear of persecution after he spearheaded the botched Presidential ambition of former Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
