The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described that he is a billionaire in naira.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, dismissed claims that he is a billionaire in United States, US, dollars.

“You know dollars is what they use to measure. Dollars is what they use to measure billionaire, it’s always in dollars but in naira, yes I am. Capital yes.”
