  "summary": "Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has claimed that he left behind over $150 million in state investments when he stepped down in 2014, stating that these funds could have grown to $335 million if left untouched. However, the Anambra State Government has presented records showing N363.38 million in salary arrears owed to workers and pensioners of defunct agencies. Despite Obi's insistence that he left the state without debt, the government's figures present a stark contrast, with $123.77 million in external loan obligations remaining as of June 2026.",
