Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi was informed by the Anambra State government that governance is about prioritizing citizens' welfare, not merely saving in banks for interest while people suffer. Meanwhile, state First Lady Nonye Soludo clarified that Obi was not a godfather to any of the governor's children.
The Anambra government also accused Obi of concealing the $123.77 million debt he left while stepping down in 2014, and alleged that he placed priority on savings over the welfare of people. Obi, however, denied leaving any debt and claimed he left over $150 million in treasury and investments. He challenged the government to prove the existence of unpaid debts or liabilities.
The government responded by releasing documents showing that Obi's administration also left N363 million in salary arrears and other outstanding debts. It also accused Obi of prioritizing savings over people's welfare and concealing debts during the 2014 handover.
