APC PCC: Obi Has Nowhere to Hide over His Anambra Record, Advises Him to Quit
• Presidential hopeful’s camp tackles Alake over 37 miners’ deaths in Niger Chuks Okocha, Adedayo Akinwale and Sunday Aborisade in Abuja All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) says
The APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has stated that presidential hopeful Peter Obi, the candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has no room to hide regarding his record as governor of Anambra State. The PCC's spokesman, Mr. Dele Alake, released a statement asserting that the Anambra State Government has exposed Obi’s facade of fiscal prudence and alleged cleanliness.
According to the Anambra State Government, Obi spent approximately $4.05 billion, or N5.4 trillion, over his eight-year tenure and contracted $123.77 million in external loans. The revelations show that Obi frequently claimed to be an austere governor, yet his record reveals nothing to show for his stewardship, including unpaid workers' salaries and a failure to pay the Water Corporation's salaries.
The PCC has urged Obi to resign from his presidential campaign and seek forgiveness from the Anambra people. Meanwhile, the Peter Obi Media Office has criticized Alake’s statements, arguing that they serve as a distraction from the tragedy of 37 suspected illegal miners' deaths in Niger State.
