Onanuga Challenges Obi Over Anambra Debt Claims

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has challenged former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi over his claim that he left office without outstanding debts or financial obligations.

Onanuga, in a post on social media, said the Anambra State Government had presented figures and records contradicting Obi’s account of the state’s finances when he handed over power in 2014.

The presidential aide alleged that Obi’s administration left outstanding obligations involving workers of the Anambra State Water Corporation, teachers, pensions and gratuities.

Onanuga also alleged that some loans obtained during the period were used for purposes he described as frivolous.
