Anambra dares Obi to quit presidential race, releases salary arrears document

The Anambra State Government has challenged former Governor Peter Obi to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, accusing him of breaking key campaign promises regarding debt and timely payment of workers' salaries. The government cited a letter dated April 25, 2006, allegedly signed by Obi's then Chief of Staff, Chuks Iloegbunam, which listed the Anambra State Water Corporation's monthly salary bill and requested Obi to rectify unpaid salaries.

The letter specifically referenced Obi's campaign manifesto, which pledged he would resign if workers were not paid on time.
