“Zero Debt, Zero Regrets!”: Peter Obi Drops Epic Bombshell, Swears Anambra Owed No Salaries Or Pensions When He Left Office!
Former Anambra State Governor and 2026 presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has vehemently denied allegations that his administration left the state in debt. Speaking on Arise News on Thursday, Obi dismissed claims that he left a $123 million liability, asserting instead that he handed over a financially robust government with savings exceeding $150 million [cite: 27].....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Strong Financial Standing: Obi maintained that his administration left the state in a stronger financial position than any other in the nation’s history. He argued that the funds he left behind, if properly managed, could have paid off all foreign debts while continuing to generate significant annual investment income [cite: 27].
-
No Direct Borrowing: The former governor categorically stated that he did not approach any financial institution for loans or issue bonds on behalf of Anambra State during his eight-year tenure. He emphasized that his administration was not indebted to any contractor, nor did it owe outstanding salaries, gratuities, or pensions upon his departure in 2014 [cite: 27].
-
Debt Attribution Dispute: Obi also clarified the nature of foreign debts attributed to the state, explaining that concessionary facilities from the World Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) were secured by the Federal Government and on-lent to states for specific projects. He provided figures showing a modest increase in foreign debt from approximately $18 million at the start of his term to $30 million when he left office in March 2014 [cite: 27].
-
DMO Confirmation: Further supporting his claims, Obi referenced former Debt Management Office (DMO) Director-General Abraham Nwankwo, who publicly acknowledged that Obi was the only governor who never sought DMO approval to borrow money during his tenure [cite: 27].
Obi concluded that the presentation of Anambra’s financial position at the time he left office amounted to “very wrong public accounting,” and pointed to his official handover documents as proof of the state’s true financial health.
