Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo faced intense backlash on Wednesday after the release of alleged records detailing loans taken by his predecessor, Peter Obi, during his tenure as the state's governor. The Nigerian Democratic Congress presidential candidate's administration is said to have left behind outstanding loans, as well as arrears of salaries, pensions, and gratuities, which amounted to a staggering N127 billion.
According to the government's statement, Soludo's administration had cleared approximately N22 billion in inherited gratuity arrears owed to retired state and local government employees and teachers.
The allegation sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with users accusing Soludo of engaging in petty politics against his predecessor. Some pointed out the inconsistencies in the reported figures, questioning the credibility of the information. Others suggested that Soludo's motives might be tied to political ambitions, such as running for minister after Tinubu.
Regardless of the veracity of the claims, the release of the alleged debt records has put Soludo under scrutiny and sparked a heated debate surrounding the financial management of Anambra State during Obi's time in office.
