Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has responded to allegations by the administration of Chukwuma Soludo regarding his financial management during his tenure as governor of Anambra State. In an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Obi stated that he had left sufficient funds in the state's coffers to settle any outstanding debts.
This comes after Soludo's administration had claimed that Obi had taken out numerous loans while serving as governor. It is important to note that the current state government has been repaying loans that were accumulated during the administrations of both Peter Obi and his predecessor, Willie Obiano. During the interview, Obi refuted the notion of leaving the state with debt, asserting that if there were indeed any debts, the available funds would have been adequate to clear them while maintaining the financial stability of Anambra.
