“This is the only watch I wear, I’ve worn it for 17 years. Why will I keep a watch at home; whose time is it keeping?” he asked.

Speaking further, Obi said he only wears black shoes and had only two pairs at any time.

On being linked to an apartment in the Ikoyi mansion where the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) discovered over $50m, the former governor said, the, “only place I own a house is Onitsha. If you see any house anywhere else, purportedly belonging to me, confiscate it.”

He added, “Whoever kept that money in the Ikoyi apartment could have earned over $7m if he lodged that money in a bank.”
