The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has said that the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi will honour his words if it is established that he left debts or financial liabilities behind when he left office. Tanko stated this on Friday during an interview on Arise TV while […] 2027: Obi will withdraw if allegation on Anambra debt…
According to Arise News anchor Rufai Oseni, the $156 million that former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi left in the state's coffers is sufficient to pay off the alleged N127 million debts from the previous administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo. Oseni made this claim during Arise Television's 'Morning Show' on Friday. The Anambra State government has recently released the public debt records from Obi's time in office.
In response, Obi through his Interim Coordinator Yunusa Tanko released handover documents on March 17, 2024, which detailed the financial position of Anambra State as of that date. The documents revealed a net positive balance of over N86 billion. Oseni argued that if Obi indeed took out a loan as claimed by the Anambra State Government, the foreign currency amount alone would be enough to clear the entire debt Soludo claims to owe, unless there is another debt that has not been disclosed to the public.
