Peter Obi’s lies have finally caught up with him. Now that the Anambra state government has presented evidence of his debt and corruption, he should do the honorable thing and withdraw from the race.

Can you, as a notorious Tinubu supporter, Tinubu who is a certificate forger, identity thief, and drug lord, distinguish between a lie and the truth?

Fair and objective response like this is missing in our political space these days. Many people suspend objectivity and argue blindly in favour of their politician, tribe and religion.

dgr8truth:
The Anambra State Government has every right to respond to Peter Obi's claims, and the public deserves clarity on the state's finances. But a government statement this detailed should be held to the same standard of accuracy and evidence that it demands from the former governor.

There are several issues with this response.

First, the statement says Peter Obi "contracted US$123.77 Billion" in external debt. Yet the government's own table puts the total at US$123,771,179.30 — about US$123.77 million, not US$123.77 billion. That is a thousand-fold difference in a statement specifically intended to establish financial facts.

Second, the government needs to distinguish between a loan being contracted, a loan being disbursed, and money actually being spent. The fact that eight loans were signed during Obi's tenure does not, by itself, establish that the entire face value of those loans was drawn down or spent by his administration. The government should publish the disbursement records and expenditure records if it wants to make that case.

Third, nobody is arguing that a government cannot have debt. In fact, the government's own table shows that the loans were for malaria control, healthcare, education, erosion control, community development and agricultural development. The relevant questions are: How much was actually drawn? What was it spent on? What was the repayment structure? What remained outstanding at handover? And what assets or projects resulted from the borrowing?

Those are questions that can be answered with documents, not rhetoric.

The most interesting issue is the ₦2.13 billion ecological fund.

The government says it obtained a certified statement for First Bank account 2018779464 and that the account was an IGR Consolidated Revenue Account which never contained ₦2.13 billion. Peter Obi, on the other hand, says the account held more than ₦2.13 billion in ecological funds when he left office.

This is precisely where politics should end and accounting should begin.

If the government has the certified bank statement, publish the relevant pages.

Show the transactions around March 2014.

Show whether there was an inflow from the Federal Government.

Show the balance on March 17, 2014.

Show the subsequent transactions.

Show the handover documents.

Then Nigerians can independently determine what happened.

Simply saying, "the account never contained the money," while Peter Obi says it did, leaves the public with two competing assertions. The documentary evidence should settle the matter.

There is another important logical problem. Even if the government establishes that the ₦2.13 billion was not in that particular account, that does not automatically prove that the money was "missing" or that Peter Obi misappropriated it. It establishes a discrepancy that requires further investigation: where was the money received, into which account was it paid, when was it transferred, and who authorised the transaction?

Likewise, on salaries, pensions and gratuities, the government should publish a proper reconciliation. Tell us exactly what was owed as at March 17, 2014, when each liability originated, what Obi's administration verified, what it paid, and what remained outstanding.

The same principle applies to the alleged ₦75 billion savings. Rather than dismissing it as "creative accounting," publish the bank balances, investment certificates, treasury instruments and other financial assets that constituted the claimed savings at handover, together with the liabilities against them.

And yes, it is campaign season. We will inevitably see people defending their preferred political parties and candidates. Already, you will see APC supporters coming here to repeat whatever narrative suits their political allegiance, just as supporters of other parties do. But we should be careful not to allow partisan loyalty to replace critical thinking.

This politics of hatred, character assassination and deliberate image-tarnishing will not help our democracy. We should do better.

Governor Soludo is entitled to support whoever he chooses politically. It is already clear from his political alignment that he supports President Tinubu, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Every politician has the constitutional and democratic right to make political choices.

But government should not be turned into a vehicle for settling political scores or damaging the reputation of a former governor simply because he has become a political opponent.

Peter Obi is a former governor of Anambra State. His record should be examined objectively—just as the records of every other administration should be examined. If there are financial discrepancies, investigate them. If there are debts, publish the figures. If there is evidence of wrongdoing, present it. If there are claims that are false, disprove them with documents.

But let us move away from the politics of my party must be right and your person must be wrong."

Politics should be about accountability, evidence and ideas—not hatred.

The debate should not be:

"Peter Obi said this, Soludo's government said that."

It should be:

"Here are the audited accounts. Here are the bank statements. Here are the loan agreements. Here are the disbursement records. Here are the handover documents. Here is the reconciliation. Now let Nigerians examine the evidence."

That is the standard every government, every politician and every political supporter should be willing to meet.

Political arguments will come and go, but public money belongs to the people. The citizens of Anambra deserve the documents, the numbers and a transparent reconciliation—not competing political narratives.

Commissioner with high mental problem. You want to get popularity with cheap blackmails. Onye eriri eri

Dreal1247:
This is going to be a very long story. Hope Soludo knows that he may be digging his political grave. The envy and jealousy of Soludo towards Peter Obi is acidic. Soludo should know that Obi came from an established family. If Obi were to be living a flamboyant life, he would be an owner of multiple private jets. Let us see some of the exploits of Professor before he became the CBN Governor and after. Also his dealings and doings before Obiano made him the Governor of Anambra State.

We're talking about Obi, you're advising soludo. Are you okay?
Please, you need to advise the Agulu fraudster.

BATified2023:
Tell me y anyone will still support this man if not for tribalism, look at how a governor of his state brought out evidence to buttress what we all have been saying since all these years.....


Forget those supporting this guy are doing so simply because he's their brother, if obi isn't their brother they won't support him.

This man is a glaring failure, imagine all sectors been dead n they want us to see him as messiah?

Tribalism will finish us in this country

Why will anyone be supporting tinibu that's fighting against the release of his drug trafficking records in the US if not for tribalism? The last time we checked obi won lagos, abuja, nasarawa, taraba and plateau states in the last presidential election and all these states are not igbo states.

This is what is called fact but his zombies obidients supporters will soon come out to defend the failure. Obi is just an opposite of whom he want nigerians to see.

On the basis of this alone - that he HE Peter Obi will quit the 2027 presidential race if it’s proven that he owes people salary while serving as governor and if he is honorable, then he should quit. But then he is part and parcel of the dishonorable honorables and he will not honor his word.

All we know is that a new Nigeria is imPOssible with HE Peter Obi.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Obi left no debt in Anambra, thats my State,he left surplus of 75Billion,everybody knows that,any thing Soludo is saying now is his personal problem.

Goveis a continuum, Soludo should stop breathing and face governance.

governance is continues but that doesnt means a liar should be exposed. I know as an obidient, after this proof, you will still defend the fake messaih. Obi has nothing to offer.

obi will never reply and his zombies supporters will say he should not bother to reply but focus on the already dead on arrival presidency. The coming election is between tinubu and atiku.

BATified2023:

Now u realize your agulu packaged fraud have been bursted n he's going nowhere the next thing na to move to Atiku.

Atiku go still get bloody eye again with u n u go rest

He is among the foolish obidients we have around. Just look at rhe fact presented with dates attached. Obi was just a lowly governor during his reign. Nothing really was special he did.

Do I even a voters card sef.
I am just chuking my mouth in politics bcus I hate injustice and oppression.
My first and only time I have ever voted was for Jonathan in 2011.
And I was among those who called for his removal in 2015.
And secondly, the only time I campaign vigorously with all my might, sweat and power was in 1999 for Tinubu to become governor.
But as it's now, anyone but Tinubu. If wins again, then we bear his suffering for another 4yrs which must surely come and go
