The Presidency has reacted to the ongoing dispute between the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, and Anambra State government over the state’s debts and financial liabilities.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a post on X, said Obi had claimed to have left Anambra without debt and challenged him to follow through on his pledge to quit the presidential race if his claim was disproved.
He added that the Anambra State Government had responded with claims concerning liabilities allegedly left by the former governor’s administration.
The reaction followed a fresh response by the Anambra State Government to Obi’s denial of claims that his administration left behind inherited debts, including a 2 billion naira ecological fund, contractor liabilities and unpaid salaries, gratuities and pensions.
