Interviewer: Governor Soludo said he is paying billions of Ecological funds to cover debts owed from your time as Governor. He also said he paid off contractors owed by you as Anambra State Governor?

Obi: I don't like going back. I left office as Anambra State Governor 13 or 14 years ago but because it borders on my credibility, I will. Let me State categorically, as at the last day I left office in Anambra State, I was not owing any salaries, pensions or gratuity that Anambra State Government was supposed to pay.. I was not owing any supplier or contractor that has executed his job and his document processed, not one. If you find one, tell me I will stop campaigning. The last day I left office I wasn't owing one. I paid what was due to be paid.

One or two persons have called me on this Ecological funds issue. As at the last day I left office, I left in the First Bank branch at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, a balance of about 2.1 billion, it's not even part of the funds I left, reason been that it was specifically for Ecological funds because they were for projects tied to a specific purpose for erosion projects that were supposed to have taken off. This money was a contribution from the FG that came in about three months before I left office, and my people kept telling me let's spend this money and I said No, Government is a continuity. I wanted whomever taking over from me to succeed so he can pay all these monies. I will give you the Account number after this interview even though I have mentioned the branch, if you go to that account and you see anything contrary to what I have said, I will stop campaigning.


Interviewer: There are innuendoes that there are issues between you and Governor Soludo. Even though Willie Obiano came in between your administrations, we know Governor Soludo ran against you for your second term but you two have been cordial. He e is supporting President Tinubu, what really is going on?

Obi: Well, I have explained the issue of ecological funds. For Governor Soludo, like about 30 Governors supporting the President, he has the right to support whomever he chooses. I am not urging them to support me, I am urging them to allow for free, fair and credible elections. They all have one votes, if you come to Anambra State, Governor Soludo has one vote.

Interviewer: But these Governors have guaranteed the President of their support.

Obi: I am not forcing any Governor to support me. They can all support whom they want to, I am campaigning to be President of Nigeria. The people of Nigeria will decide unless the Governors are preparing to write results or rig elections which I am preaching against.

Peter Obi responds to Anambra Govt's allegation of repaying debts owed by his administration

Anambra Repaying Debts incurred By Obi, Obiano Administrations - Okafor

Soludo is a notorious criminal. Anybody that lies effortlessly will steal effortlessly.
Onye nzuzu 🤪

It is sad that a lot of Nigerians use sentiments to cloud truth and morality. Peter Obi is not a perfect man, but this man has attained a level of integrity most politicians cannot reach. You think if the Govt and opposition had anything on him, they wouldn't have picked him up? When Nigeria works it works for everyone, when nigeria fails, both those shouting Muslim-muslim, ronu, emilokan etc go still chop stone. After all na all of us dey use the same markets and the same roads, the same fueling station, the same hospitals etc.

To the moniker above Epon Obi stop writing epistle and address the main point of the interview. Was Obi owing anyone when he left office as a governor? If yes. Then bring your evidence.

H E Mr Peter Obi has given Ojionu soludo and his minions an assignment which is too big for them to handle.
Soludo will see the one that pass him in this fire he just ignited

Obi is telling you to go and verify his records. The other oga is begging the court to block his records.

Omo! Soludo has been such a disappointment, I must confess.

I used to look at him as the next star of the Igbo nation but the man is so vile, vindictive, jealous of his brother, and is underachiever.

Well, the challenge has been thrown at him and the Tinubu supporters that jumped on the lies.

Let them provide the names of those that Obi owed as a governor or they should forever cover their faces in shame.

I wish I could like this comment a million times. Indeed, this is the madness agbadoh people are shoving down our throats

EponObi:
Lmaooooo...

"Governors only have one vote" the same rubbish his minors spew on a daily basis. He was once a governor and he's only being deceitful by insinuating governors have zero influence and have zero voters base. Trump self wey get Choco for head can't say a governor in the US only has one vote. Obi thinks na one man mopol dey win presidency of a nation. The last presidential election in the US, do you know the thousands of political groups, actors, governors, mayors, congressmen, congresswomen, clergymen, religious groups and organizations etc that shifted the election in Trump's favour. Same goes for Kamala Harris. The best political machinery simply won. The various MAGA groups, you think say na play? Lol. Why do you think the Democrats and Republicans are always hustling to have more numbers in the Senate and House?

Maybe you all should read about Scott Presler; a single guy who helped Trump swing Pennsylvania in Trump's favor in 2024. Scott isn't even a governor or elected in any office, but an Obi would have said "Scott has only one vote". What of Charlie Kirk, of blessed memories? Do you know the massive amount of voters he influenced for the Conservatives in 2024? When he was assassinated, you can't imagine the kind of blow that hit the US conservatives and the Republicans. Ever wonder why he was given a presidential burial? Obi knows nothing.

It's foolery to think social media noise or moral grandstanding or "I only have one boxers" rhetorics will take him to Aso Villa. Instead of working the past three years to build a formidable machinery, he was wasting time entertaining people on Twitter. In fact, if he was serious and visionary, he should have started building his machinery since he became governor. For the illiterates, before saying rubbish, political machinery doesn't mean rigging machinery. Machineries are simply there to influence voters and sell a candidate.

Since Trump won his second term election, I know of about two reps who lost their seats simply because they ran out of favour with Trump because they no longer align. It's not that Trump rigged against them. Trump simply negotiated and activated machineries in their constituencies to vote against them.

Obi is outrightly a learner when it comes to politics.



Lmaooo... See the foolery in that statement. Obi is delusional. He is simply saying if he wins, the people decided. If he loses, the governors wrote the results. Lmaooo. January no kuku far again.

Dry up with your cho cho cho..
Una too like talk.
Obi has laid down the gauntlet; contradict what I have said and I will stop campaigning!
What else do you want

Simply go to the First Bank branch at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka and get that danceable evidence to stop him so your Chicago D-Baron can continue..

Instead of doing so, you are here splashing it right left and center.
There is absolutely no more need for you in Tinubus camp to attack Obi. Soludo said he is paying off debts from Obis era.. Soludo na una guy. Go and get the particulars and make it public, so that Obi will stop campaigning.

Easiest way to get rid of Peter Obi from the presidential campaignsif you ask me.

What are they saying what are you writing? How is this nonsense relevant to the topic?

Tinubu is borrowing like a drunken sailor despite paying no subsidies but somehow, his lackeys want to make loans acquired by others as a campaign point against them? Surreal. Lagos was the most indebted state in Nigeria under Tinubu and still holds that record till today.

Mr. I won’t leave Apga the failure and serial liar..

Go and siddown. If not for tribalism, even the Igbos supporting you today knew 100% you was a complete failure. They documented your failure..

Hehehehe.....oga you owed my friend family company when you got in as a governor,stop this holy holy attitude.

Nigeria governors are fond of doing it after they are sworn in so it is not a new thing in Nigeria. I am even facing the same issue in fcta over payments.

I Kuku like Soludo, he go show evidence very soon

I hope the Fraud is also advising his Supporters to respect other people's opinion and give room for APC members in the south east to vote freely and Fairly in the General Election because in the 2023 Presidential Election in the South East, a lot of Asiwaju supporters were stopped from voting and there was massive rigging in the south east

Obi the smart onitsha trader,he said he paid every kobo due while he was leaving office his obidient mob are clapping but smarter people can see the innuendo in that statement........there were contracts that would have been issued by obi has gov but weren't completed before he left office and perhaps haven't been paid till date,soludo is right to say he is paying off those obligations.

Shows how dangerously inept you are in matters of governance and you will come out to tell us you know who is going to fix the country... how can you fix anything with so much ignorance, because tinubu isn't paying subsidies that money should be enough to get everything done......how more myopic can you guys be.

No he is not. He is just being a politician. He is also gunning to be VP in 2031 while tinubu is promising the SE and the SS VP position in 2031

But they dont know if tinubu mistakenly wins,the VP comes to the SW. Tinubu that is ruthless when it comes to politics as politicking is the only thing he knows how to do.

He will carry them goal goal. They dont know nothing

Charles soludo has been promised VP Ticket in 2031 .

Ogbeni, if you like, put your propaganda drive into gear 17, your Angel Michael of Agulu will never rule this Country called Nigeria.

Your Mr. Integrity that was indicted in the Panama Papers. Me and my family and friends will rather vote for the Devil we know very well than your corrupt messiah that is harboring an ethnic & religious agenda.

Integrity ko, probity ni.

Soludo is a clout chaser seeking relevance through P.O, he will fail as always he never loved his tribe instead he used his tribe to chase clout like he did when he visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the inception of his tenure only for his to abandon ship and start fighting and going against anything his void and empty professorship cannot comprehend.

He can never be measured alongside revered P.O. lai lai not in his dream, tell the efulefu governor that there's life outside political office.

A lot of Igbos who wanted to vote for the APC in 2023 were not allowed to vote in numerous Polling Unit

In fact, someone was beheaded in one of the Polling unit in Abia state.

Your people were rigging in the East for Obi while Wailing and lying that the results coming from other part of Nigeria is rigged against Obi.

Even tulumbu cannot dare the United States like this.... Obi who are you abeg ?

If tulumbu can dare the FBI that

If you find anything related to drugs in my files release my documents for public scrutiny


Walahi I will rate him as a man of integrity

Tulumbu laptop boys will tell you

Na integrity we go chop ?
