NewzPresidential candidate Peter Obi has challenged the Anambra State Government to prove allegations that his past administration left behind financial liabilities, vowing to halt his political campaign if evidence is produced. The controversy arose after the state's Commissioner for Finance, Izuchukwu Okafor, stated during a podcast that Governor Charles Soludo's administration continues to service loans and debts incurred by Obi and other former governors.
The specific claims involve an alleged N2 billion ecological loan, unpaid contractor liabilities, and outstanding salaries. In response to the state's assertions, the public and critics have similarly demanded proof from Governor Soludo's administration regarding the debt claims, fueling a broader regional debate over the financial legacy of Obi's tenure in Anambra State.
