The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says he did not owe any salaries, pensions, gratuities or any money when he was Anambra State Governor.

Obi stated this in response to recent claims by the current Anambra State government.

Recall that Anambra State Government headed by Governor Chukwuma Soludo recently had said it was including those of former governors Peter Obi and Willie Obiano.

According to the state government, it has focused largely on paying existing obligations rather than accumulating new debts.

DAILY POST reports that Peter Obi served as the Governor of Anambra State from March 2006 to March 2014.

Reacting, Obi said, “I left office as Governor nearly 13 years ago. On the day I left office, I was not owing any salaries, pensions, gratuities or any money that the Anambra State Government was supposed to pay.

“I did not owe a single supplier or contractor. If you find even one person I owed, I will end my 2027 campaign today.”
