How Did Peter Obi Borrow $123billion In 2013? by Penguin2(op): 3:37pm On Sep 16
In trying to embarrass Peter Obi, Charles Soludo continues to embarrass himself.

Anambra Finance Commissioner said audit showed Obi borrowed $123 billion in 2013. However, since 1999 till date, Nigeria’s total external debt stands at about $117 billion.

So, how could Obi have borrowed, in 8 years, more than the amount owed by Nigeria as country (including sub-nationals)?

Can anybody make it make sense?

In the end, hatred for Peter Obi will destroy Soludo.
BUSTED: “Professor” Soludo’s Ignorance And Cluelessness Exposed After Claiming Peter Obi Borrowed $123.7 Billion In 2013 As Anambra Governor While Nigeria’s Total Public Debt Since 1999 Stands At $111.7 Billion
https://x.com/parallelfacts/status/2100190802471252469?s=46

You opened a document called
“Facts Beyond Propaganda and Lies”
with a fake number.
You wrote that Peter Obi contracted US$123.77 billion in external debt.
Your own table says the contracted sum, the amount signed, is $123,771,179.30. That is $123.77 million.
You added three extra zeros and ran with it.
A government that cannot tell million from billion has no right to call anybody a liar.

That aside how did only Peter Obi borrow US$123.77 billion in external debt when the entire Nation’s public debt stood at US$9.7 billion?
Are you people mad in Agu Awka?

Then the contracted column is not even the unpaid loan. The unpaid loan on your table is $92.35 million as at June 2026. You converted that leftover at today’s rate into N127.4 billion and billed it to a man who left office in 2014. The naira collapse is not his debt.
Obi never said Anambra took no loans. He said that on 17 March 2014 he was not owing salaries, pensions or gratuities the state government was supposed to pay, and he was not owing any contractor whose job was done and whose papers were processed.
Fight that sentence. Stop inventing a different one.
Those eight facilities are World Bank project credits for malaria, farming, health, education and erosion. Two of the biggest were signed on 30 July 2013. He left eight months later. The Debt Management Office recorded about $30.3 million external and about N3 billion domestic at the end of 2013. That was one of the lowest state debt stocks in Nigeria. Your N127.4 billion line is 2026 exchange rate padding.

“He spent $4.05 billion, which is N5.4 trillion today” is the same padding. You restated eight years of spending at today’s naira. That is not evidence. That is a calculator trick.
You claim you pulled a certified statement of First Bank account 2018779464 and that the N2.13 billion never sat there. Publish it. From opening to 17 March 2014, with narration. Until you do, you have an accusation. Your own Commissioner never mentioned a N2 billion ecological loan on that podcast. You accused Obi of inventing a loan you admit was not even named.

You said Peter Obi owed people gratuities and pensions.
Publish the names of those people and the bank statements or official documents showing exactly what they were owed and what remained unpaid.

We are in the era of verification, not an era where politicians make claims and expect Nigerians to accept them as facts.

Give us the proof.
Proof or shut up.

The Water Corporation hole started under Mbadinuju from 2000. You are still paying it in 2026. That is a 26 year parastatal fight. It is not proof that Obi left unpaid state salaries and certified contractor jobs.
Anambra in 2014 led NECO. It won national MDG recognition. Health institutions moved from zero accreditation to more than twelve. “Dead schools, dead hospitals, increased poverty” is campaign talk. It is not the 2014 record.

The human development numbers bury that smear. Before Obi, Anambra’s subnational HDI sat around 0.59 to 0.60 in 2005 and 2006. When he left in 2013 and 2014 it was around 0.65 to 0.66. Nigeria’s national HDI in those handover years was about 0.51 to 0.52. The state moved up and finished in the top tier of the country. You cannot talk “increased poverty” and ignore that.
Correct the billion. Table the bank statement. Table the DMO figures. Until then, your press statement is the propaganda and Obi never start to show you shege!

so according to u lots, setting the records straight is hatred right?

When ikemefuna was gallivanting about unknown tinubu drug case, it wasn't hatred but when your agulu packaged fraud is exposed then it's hatred right?

The best time for obi to keep quiet is now if he's a wise man cos anything he says further soludo will prove him wrong with verifiable evidences n facts with time stamp
Re: How Did Peter Obi Borrow $123billion In 2013? by seunmsg(m):
They are desperately trying to wiggle out of the truth by picking on a single typographical error in the publication. Peter Obi borrowed equivalent of N123billion in today's value and not $123billion. The actual figures are there in the publication with actual dates. Tell your Obi to stop campaigning immediately if he has any honor left in him. When you are in a hole, you stop digging.

The demented Peter Obi was born and bred in Onitsha, so expect 419 to be part and parcel of him. The commissioner never said 123 billion dollars, hope Obi supporters are not becoming deaf.

When is the criminal coming out to speak to you, about his FBI file, about his identity, about his education and you are comfortable with that, are you ok at all.

Spending millions of dollars defending non release of his file and you re fine with that. The other asking you to go and verify and you are irritating and crying. Are you a human being? or non living thing because animals got sense.

How can you set the record straight with lies?

$123 billion is a lie, or is it true?

Graduating from a school 4 years before it was founded is a lie, or is it true?

Too many lies with APC and their allies.

It's like once you join or align with APC, lies become part of your daily routine.

Check the figure below, it's in dollars.


Even #120B in 2013, it's a lie. Soludo only doing eye service, because of his own personal interest. Nevertheless, Obi is not good manager of resources.

As it stands today, Soludo and Uzodima would run Nigeria far better than him, if any of them becomes president from Igbo extraction.

Re: How Did Peter Obi Borrow $123billion In 2013? by aariwa(m): 6:56pm On Sep 16
Soludo wants to align himself into the tinubu olodo uprising movement and one of the first ways to start is by attacking Peter Obi then you get a crumb from the corrupt national cake like they did for fani kayode, reno Omokri etc whose only qualification for appointment was attacking Obi .Look at the character of all the people attacking Obi and how corrupt they are ie when Soludo was CBN governor he gave BDC licenses to his cronies and one of them from his town built more than 6 huge plazas in Asaba alone and you will know Obi represents the future of redemption for Nigeria

Incase you dont know you are not better than them, You could read and comprehend correctly

.Peter Obi left office in 2014, the loan he collected within his tenure no reach #130m the money accumulated over 12yrs to the tune of #130bn in 2026 that means Gov. Soludo is complicit and not saying the truth

Why bring the accumulated total ... Tell us how much Obi borrowed within his tenure if you must discredit him

Obasanjo inherited long huge debt, he came nd deplicit it, what as soludo done, reduced it or compound it taking more
