The Anambra State Government says the state is still servicing loans contracted during previous administrations, including the Obi era. According to the government, $92.35 million — about ₦127.4 billion — remained outstanding as of June 30, 2026 from external loans it says were contracted during Obi’s administration.
Then comes the ₦2.13 billion ecological fund mystery. Peter Obi says he left the money untouched in a First Bank account for his successor to tackle the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. But Anambra’s Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, now says a certified statement of the account Obi identified shows that it was an IGR Consolidated Revenue Account, not an ecological fund account, and that the claimed ₦2.13 billion balance does not appear in the account records.
Obi has strongly rejected the government’s allegations. He insists that when he handed over power in 2014, Anambra owed nothing in salaries, pensions, gratuities or certified contractor obligations. He has also challenged anyone to prove otherwise, saying he would stop campaigning if his claims about the state’s finances are disproved.
So now, the question is no longer simply “Who left Anambra money?”
The bigger question is: WHERE ARE THE DOCUMENTS? 📑
If the government has certified bank statements and loan records, let the documents speak. If Obi has handover records proving the funds and financial position he described, let those records speak too.
₦127 billion in alleged outstanding loans. ₦2.13 billion in disputed ecological funds. Claims. Counterclaims. Bank statements. Loan records.
At this point, Nigerians deserve documents, dates, account statements and audited figures — not political arguments.
