President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has accused former Anambra State Governor and NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of making false claims about government investment in sports.
Onanuga made the accusation in a post on X while responding to Obi’s call for increased Federal Government investment in the sports sector.
He also criticised Obi’s record on sports development during his eight-year tenure as governor of Anambra State, alleging that sportsmen and women, including athletes with disabilities, were treated poorly under his administration.
“Headlines don’t lie like Peter Obi lies, recklessly,” Onanuga wrote.

“His poor sports record as governor is well documented in the archives,” he said.
He questioned Obi’s call for greater Federal Government investment in sports, citing what he described as the former governor’s record in Anambra.
“Today, he talks, very glibly, of course, about the need for the FG to invest in sport, when, as governor for 8 years, he treated Anambra sportsmen and women and even, unconscionably, the physically challenged sportsmen and women shabbily,” he wrote.
