An APC campaign council has called on Peter Obi to withdraw from the presidential race, citing a dispute over liabilities inherited by Anambra State. The council said disclosures by the state government contradicted Obi’s claim that he left office without outstanding debts, according to Premium Times.

An APC campaign council has called for Peter Obi to withdraw from the presidential race, citing what it described as a controversy over Anambra State’s debts, Premium Times reported. The council said recent disclosures by the Anambra State Government contradicted Obi’s repeated claim that he handed over the state without outstanding liabilities. The supplied material does not identify the specific disclosures, state the amount or nature of the liabilities, or explain when they were allegedly incurred.

It also does not include Obi’s response to the council’s demand or a statement from his political organisation. The council’s position is presented as a political demand rather than as an established finding in the available material. No information was provided about whether the allegation has led to legal proceedings or whether Obi has indicated any intention to leave the contest.

The report establishes the council’s call and the debt-related basis it cited.
