I left Anambra debt-free, Obi insists

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that he left Anambra State debt-free after his tenure as governor. According to Obi, during his eight years in office, he did not borrow money or issue bonds on behalf of the state.

Obi made these claims during an interview on Arise TV, responding to allegations of loans and liabilities linked to his tenure. He asserted that on the day he handed over, the state was not owing workers, contractors, or suppliers who had completed their jobs and had their work certified and verified.

Obi also claimed that the state government was not owing any salary, gratuity, or pension to those scheduled to be paid by the state government at the time he left office.
