Obi tasks Anambra govt to prove he left debts behind, urges UNN to release certificate

Presidential candidate Peter Obi has challenged the Anambra State government to prove that his administration left behind unpaid debts, salaries, pensions, or contractor liabilities. In response to claims by the Anambra government, Obi dismissed them as false, stating that his administration cleared historical gratuities and arrears worth over N35 billion and paid contractors for executed projects.

He also addressed concerns about the N2 billion ecological fund, explaining that it was released before his tenure ended and left for his successor, as it was tied to a specific project. Obi has also expressed his willingness to release his academic records to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, as long as it complies with applicable laws, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in the campaign.
