Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has claimed to have left over $150 million in investments when he stepped down in 2014, asserting these funds could have grown to approximately $335 million if retained. However, the Anambra State Government has released records indicating N363.38 million in salary arrears owed to workers and pensioners of defunct agencies.
Obi maintains that he left office without debt, disputing the state's claim of $123.77 million in external loan obligations remaining unpaid. He argues that the $123.77 million comprised approved facilities, actual drawdowns, and outstanding balances, and that the state's external debt was minimal during his tenure.
