Obi says Anambra debt dispute is not a personal quarrel with Soludo

Labour Party’s Peter Obi has said he has no quarrel with Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo over the state’s debt. Obi’s statement followed renewed discussion about the financial facilities associated with his tenure as governor. He said his position was intended to clarify the nature of those facilities rather than to create a personal dispute with Soludo.

The available report does not provide details of the specific loans or other financial arrangements under discussion. It also does not set out Soludo’s response to Obi’s clarification. Obi governed Anambra before moving on to national politics.

The debt issue has nevertheless brought attention back to the state’s finances and to the obligations linked to previous administrations. In his comments, Obi framed the matter as a question of accuracy about the state’s financial position. He did not describe the disagreement as a conflict with the sitting governor.

The report gives no further information about the size of the facilities, their repayment terms or the current balance outstanding. It also does not indicate whether the two politicians have held discussions about the issue.
