Anambra Government Challenges Peter Obi Over Salary Claims
The Anambra State Government has released a 2024 out-of-court settlement document in its ongoing dispute with former governor Peter Obi over alleged unpaid salaries and financial obligations from his administration. The document, shared on the state government's official X account, is intended to counter Obi's assertion that he left office without outstanding salaries, pensions, or gratuities.
Signed on February 6, 2024, the settlement involved the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service, Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) and addressed obligations related to the defunct Anambra State Water Corporation and the Anambra State Environmental Protection Agency (ANSEPA). The current administration, led by Governor Charles Soludo, accused Obi of making false claims regarding the financial obligations left behind, asserting that the Water Corporation arrears were evidence of unpaid salaries that were eventually settled.
Obi, in response, maintained that his administration addressed historical liabilities exceeding N35 billion.
