The problem is Obi did not face public scrutiny in 2023 because the ovation was too high.

Ask yourself this question.
Why are these guys focusing on Peter Obi instead of what's happening in the country right now?

What have you achieved this four years that have passed?

You should also focus on the Chicago drug barons' lies. The lies that he paid money to lawyers to suppress.

The APC does not know what to do with Peter Obi. Unlike in 2023, he's a huge problem for them, whether standing alone or in alliance with Atiku. Lessons!

No your focus should be on this. Trying to sink Nigeria with a psychia patient. E no go work for una

Obi lives rent-free in their brains. I wonder why the number two guy gets less priority than the number three guy.
From Onanuga to Festus to Bwala, it is all Obi.

All this una distraction on gullible Nigerians won't last oga.

Talk about the current administration how fuel hike and subsidy has favored u and the price of essential commodities has favored u ... talk about how the subsidy funds has been used how is been shared instead of subsidising the daily needs of the common man ... talk about the real corrupt politicians and the insecurity in the country ... talk about how Buhari left fuel at 160naira and where we are today

Obi has been out of government for over 8yrs plus now so if you have anything against him and still have no evidence then Oga rest.

He is not a problem for APC ,I guarantee you

Keyamo says Nigerians are now ready to fact-check Peter Obi "per second." Fine. Then let us actually fact-check everybody. If the Minister is genuinely interested in evidence, I would expect him, as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, to ask Governor Soludo a very simple question: Where are the certified documents supporting the figures being attributed to Peter Obi?

Not press statements.
Not political narratives.
Not social-media arguments.

The documents!

Show Nigerians the certified bank statements. Show the loan agreements. Show the disbursement schedules. Show the repayment schedules. Show the DMO records. Then let Nigerians examine the evidence and draw their conclusions. Because there is now a particularly important issue concerning the claim that Peter Obi left $123.77 million in external debt.

The Debt Management Office's own historical records provide a very different starting point. According to the DMO's Federal and States External Debt Stock as at 31 December 2006, Anambra's external debt stock was $16,869,393.14. Then look at the DMO's States and Federal Governments' External Debt Stock as at 30 June 2014. Anambra's external debt stock was $41,459,335.44. That means that between December 2006 and June 2014, Anambra's recorded external debt stock increased by approximately: $41.46 million − $16.87 million = $24.59 million. These are not figures from Peter Obi's supporters. They are figures appearing in Debt Management Office records. And that raises a legitimate question: How does the Anambra government's $123.77 million figure relate to the DMO's $41.46 million external-debt stock recorded in June 2014? The answer cannot simply be that $123.77 million was the value of loans associated with projects during Obi's tenure. The government needs to explain the distinction between:

the original value/commitment of a loan facility;
the amount actually drawn down;
the amount outstanding at a particular date; and
the state's total external debt stock at the point of handover.

Those are not necessarily the same thing. Indeed, the Anambra government's latest statement itself describes the $123.77 million as the original value of eight external borrowings and separately says that about $92.35 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2026. So why should Nigerians simply accept $123.77 million as the amount Peter Obi "left behind" without seeing the reconciliation between that figure and the DMO's contemporaneous June 2014 debt-stock figure of $41.459 million? That reconciliation is precisely what should be published. And this is why Keyamo's "fact-check every claim" argument should cut both ways. If Peter Obi is wrong, establish it with documents. If Soludo's figures are correct, reconcile them with the DMO's historical debt-stock records. If the $123.77 million represents loan commitments rather than actual outstanding liabilities at handover, say so clearly. If the difference is explained by subsequent disbursements, undrawn commitments, restructuring, exchange-rate treatment, or accounting methodology, provide the documentation. That is how you settle a financial dispute. Not by repeating a number until it becomes a political slogan.

There is another important point. The DMO's June 2014 table shows Anambra's external debt at $41.46 million, while several other Nigerian states had considerably larger external debt stocks at the same point: Lagos was about $1.02 billion, Kaduna about $245.5 million, Cross River about $120.2 million, Ogun about $116.7 million, and Bauchi about $111.6 million. That does not by itself prove that every borrowing decision by the Obi administration was necessarily good or bad. But it provides important context when discussing the state's debt position in 2014. And this is where Nigerians must learn to separate the noise from the music, allegations from evidence, and political narrative from verifiable fact.

Peter Obi should be scrutinised.
Every politician should be scrutinised.
But scrutiny must not become a political weapon applied selectively. It is perfectly legitimate to examine Peter Obi's financial record as governor. But then Nigerians should also be permitted to examine the economic record, borrowing, expenditure, debt accumulation and fiscal management of the administrations that came after him—including the current federal administration. Accountability cannot be selective. If Keyamo believes Nigerians should fact-check Peter Obi "per second," then I agree with the underlying principle: Let's fact-check everybody.

But when the subject is public finance, the standard should be higher than political accusation.

Show us the documents.
Show us the CTCs.
Show us the bank statements.
Show us the DMO records.
Show us the loan agreements and actual disbursements.
Show us the reconciliation.

Then Nigerians can decide what the evidence actually says. Because in a democracy, the reputation of a public servant should not be destroyed by the sheer repetition of an allegation. Evidence should establish the allegation—not the other way around. And if the DMO's historical records appear to contradict the political narrative being presented today, Nigerians have every right to ask: Where exactly did the $123.77 million figure come from, and how does it reconcile with the $41.46 million debt stock recorded by the DMO when Peter Obi left office? That is not propaganda. That is a question that deserves an answer.

He has been using China as example, and the Chinese are now in Lagos, his People are complaining.

Cyberterror:
He is not a problem for APC ,I guarantee you

If he wasn't, you wouldn't spend the time going to doctor and forge a newspaper headline that wasn't about him, just like your mentor, the forger-in-chief.

Do you remember Keyamo of that year?

But how true is this?

The only truth he's ever told.

“During the last election, Obi rigged the South-East. He brought his rigging machine into Lagos that’s why he defeated Tinubu in Lagos State.”
(Festus Keyamo)

Incredible and unimaginable foolishness and stupidity is inherent in everyone under this government

Three credits man

We wont allow his lies

And Keyamo consciously and callously overlooked the several endless lies told by BAT and APC that have made life horrible for Nigerians.

No shame at all.

By the way, are lawyers not called liars?

See how they are shifting the goal post. Shey Obi follow una destroy the economy. Terrible people!

No amount of propaganda will stop me from voting for OBI. I voted for him in 2023 and i will do it again.

And Nigeria U20 women are beating England as we speak

Peter Obi that was widely castigated for being the epitome of failure here on Nairaland in 2013 as a Governor.

By 2023, he became the 2nd Coming of Martin Luther King. Nigerians rejected him then and will reject him again.

If making Anambra next Dubai made them all japa to Lagos including him.... we don't want to be like their Dubai.

EdakuN!

Peter Obi can't be a Maiguard in SW

Let us be frank.

Ndigbo right now..... which kin wahala be this?

Biko chineke!

God go punish kayemo or any other APC criminal if they try nonsense

Peter OBI will deliberately stimulate a conversation around himself and when the conversation doesnt go his way,his people start gaslighting to make people feel bad for discussing him.

How would peter OBI threw a challenge,applaud him when he did that and when the challenge is addressed accordingly they will claim people shouldnt talk about him because he is not our problem??

So disgusting!

So,because we dont like Tinubu we should replace him with anyhow person.Mtcheew

Why is Obi so obsessed with madness.

Seems Anambra get plenty psychiatric patients be that oooo
