Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential contender for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), released fresh financial documents on Wednesday to refute allegations from the Anambra State Government concerning lingering debts and liabilities from his tenure as governor. The Interim National Coordinator of the Obedient Movement, Dr. Yinusa Tanko, unveiled the handover document, which corroborates a positive fiscal status of more than N86 billion as of the close of business on March 17, 2024.
The release of these records ensued following statements by Anambra State officials claiming the incumbent administration is still dealing with debts and obligations left by previous administrations, including Obi's. The documents disclosed eight outstanding external loans amounting to approximately $92.35 million (roughly N127.37 billion as of June 30, 2026), alongside other unresolved grievances involving unpaid gratuities, pensions, and related commitments.
Notably, the Presidency had previously challenged Obi to uphold his campaign pledge to cease running for presidency if evidence of unpaid liabilities from his time as Anambra governor materializes.
