Peter Obi Defends Financial Record Amid 2027 Campaign
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has dismissed the presidency's call for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to stop campaigning for the 2027 general elections. This follows the Anambra State Government's publication of financial transactions from Obi's tenure as governor.
Osa Director, the NDC's National Publicity Secretary, characterized the state's claims as “voodoo economics.” The ongoing rivalry between Obi and Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has resurfaced, echoing their public disputes during the 2023 elections. Soludo previously criticized Obi in an open letter, claiming he left Anambra with minimal investments and would not win the presidential election.
In response, Obi stated he left office without any debts, including salaries or pensions, and refuted claims of owing N2.1 billion in ecological funds, asserting he had managed historical gratuities and left funds for his successor, Willie Obiano.
