Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi is challenging Anambra State Government to prove claims that his administration left debts, including a N2 billion ecological loan, unpaid contractor liabilities and outstanding salaries, gratuities and pensions. Obi asserts that his administration cleared over N35 billion in historical gratuities and arrears before he took office, and that contractors were fully paid upon completion of their projects.
He also denies allegations of a N2 billion ecological loan, stating that the money was released for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis shortly before his term ended and remained untouched in a bank account. Obi urges the government to release his academic records for scrutiny, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in political candidates.
