Statisense: Peter Obi Lied About Claim That Tinubu Borrowed More Than Any Gov’t by LegendHero(op): 12:23pm On Jul 07, 2025
In his interview with Seun yesterday, Peter Obi claimed that the Tinubu administration has borrowed more money in just two years than all previous presidents combined. This is a huge lie.

StatiSense has just released Nigeria's debt stock figures, showing that Tinubu has only added $2.82 billion to the debt since becoming president.

NIGERIA EXTERNAL DEBT STOCK — OUTSTANDING

Dec 2006 — $3.54 billion
Jun 2007 — $3.35 billion
Dec 2007 — $3.65 billion

Dec 2009 — $3.95 billion
Jun 2010 — $4.27 billion
Dec 2010 — $4.58 billion
Dec 2011 — $5.67 billion

Dec 2014 — $9.71 billion
Jun 2015 — $10.32 billion
Dec 2015 — $10.72 billion

Dec 2022 — $41.69 billion
Jun 2023 — $43.16 billion
Dec 2023 — $42.50 billion

Mar 2025 — $45.98 billion

Cumulative effective borrowing:
Yar'Adua [3yrs] — $0.92 billion
Jonathan [5yrs] — $6.05 billion
Buhari [8yrs] — $32.84 billion
Tinubu [<2yrs] — $2.82 billion

Who takes this Yoruba statisense serious. You can't compare dollar rate of 2023 to 2025. APC can only deceive those who want to be deceived not me.

2 years . . . 2 good complete years that I have been begging this op to post his usual IGAaaarrR statistics for me to see . . . cry sadly he will never try such again.

He was everywhere back then, creating threads monthly displaying how much money they had to show after taxing their families and relatives to stupor, he was soo happy with the amount . . . Puffing dry chest (albeit with empty pockets) saying stuff like "my region can feed your own" . . . Well guess what . . .

Immediately his folly was unearthed that those he mocked actually ate over 95% of the total money he was brandishing so boastfully he immediately developed amnesia . . .

Today, he has absolutely forgotten the website where he gets those his IGAaaarrR statistics from . . . 2 whole years today . . .

Such a pity, I will not know how much he donates to my region to eat anymore sad

Peter Obi now lie for fun. Nigerians have given up in believing anything he said

So as how he lied in his last interview that he never met Abacha before even though there is another video of him saying he met him.

It's Peter Obi, now StatiSense is credible but when it's against the government it's begin to question the source of their data

Funniest thing is that it has always been like this. Obi is a dulll man normally and his strategy was to always strawman.

Why will I question their data when it’s a self evident truth?

Do you believe that jargons Obi said about Tinubu borrowing more?

He paid off some and borrowed some. So usually, you check the amount left.

So when you’re comparing notes, you will check the level of the debt in 2015 and the level of the debt presently.

There is something wrong with Peter Obi assertion but that does negates the fact that the Buhari and Tinubu led-APC governments are the most fiscally recklessness government this nation has ever had. They have simply mortgage Nigeria into irredeemable financial indebtedness

Just state it, Peter Obi is a liar with no memory, no need sugarcoating.

To your other point, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Someone that cleared the FX backlog, cleared NNPC backlog, and most especially remove FX subsidy and Fuel subsidy that is holding up funds cannot be said to be fiscally reckless. Except if you don’t understand what is called “fiscally reckless”.

Why are they still borrowing after subsidy removal? Or it's no longer a scam like bulaba said in 2012

Obi unraveling every second. This man is a hopeless fraud packaged by no one but the same people who believed Kanu is a Messiah and Buhari a clone.

They're not the smartest people out there.

Debt management office and business day says otherwise.

This has always been my problem with Nigeria as a whole… poor authentic data.

This Una one side analysis again

Tinubu’s government has increased public debt by ₦62 trillion so far.

Only $2.82 billion of that is new external borrowing.

The rest is due to:

Heavy domestic borrowing.

Currency depreciation, which inflated the naira value of existing foreign debt.


Peter Obi’s statement reflects the total naira debt rise.

StatiSense’s rebuttal is only looking at external debt in USD a narrow view.
