‘I didn’t borrow money from any bank as Anambra gov’ – Peter Obi

Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi, representing the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has defied allegations that he borrowed money while serving as governor of Anambra State for eight years. Obi stated on Arise Television's Prime Time that he never approached any bank or financial institution to borrow funds or issue bonds on behalf of the state government during his tenure.

This comes amidst a dispute with current Governor Chukwuma Soludo over the unpaid debts and gratuities left behind when Obi stepped down from office.
