According to Premium Times, Peter Obi responded after Anambra Finance Commissioner Izuchukwu Okafor said on a podcast that Governor Charles Soludo’s government was still paying loans and other debts linked to Obi and later administrations. The former governor rejected the suggestion that his tenure left an unpaid burden now defining state finances.
Tribune carried a matching account of the same exchange. Independent confirmation was limited to those two outlets plus reprints; the commissioner’s podcast remarks were not separately posted as a government gazette at the time of this write-up.
Echotitbits take: The argument is as much 2027 positioning as public accounts. Watch whether Anambra publishes a loan schedule with origination dates, or whether the dispute stays on talk-show terrain.
