Soludo govt makes U-turn, says Peter Obi did well as governor

Law Mefor, the Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, has expressed his acknowledgment of Peter Obi's performance as governor. In an interview on the 90MinutesAfrica podcast, Mefor clarified that the state government's scrutiny of Obi's financial records was not meant to undermine his achievements or presidential ambitions.

The disagreement primarily revolved around Obi's claim that he left no financial liabilities for subsequent administrations. Mefor emphasized that the Anambra State government's objective is to clarify its financial records by challenging Obi's assertion that he left N12.13 billion in an ecological fund account at First Bank's University of Nigeria, Awka (UNIZIK) branch.

The commissioner reiterated that the state government does not intend to indict Peter Obi, as he did well as governor. Mefor also stated that there is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi, both being political figures defending their respective interests.
