Obi disputes Anambra claims over debt and liabilities
Peter Obi has rejected claims by the Anambra State Government under Governor Chukwuma Soludo that his administration left outstanding loans and liabilities. Obi maintains that he handed over the state without debt in 2014, according to Punch Nigeria.
Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi has rejected claims that his administration left outstanding loans and liabilities when it left office in 2014. Punch Nigeria reported that Obi insists he handed over Anambra debt-free. His position directly contradicts claims attributed to the government of Governor Chukwuma Soludo, which says the former administration left financial obligations behind.
The report does not provide the value or nature of the liabilities cited by the Soludo administration. It also does not include the state government’s detailed explanation of the claims or any supporting documents from either side. The dispute centres on the financial position of Anambra at the time of the 2014 transition.
Obi’s response is that there was no outstanding debt when his administration ended. The Soludo government’s position, as summarised by Punch Nigeria, is that loans and liabilities were left behind.
