Rufai Oseni this morning: Even if one accepts the loans Anambra is now listing against Peter Obi, the foreign-currency assets he left behind were enough to clear that debt stock.
Peter Obi has consistently maintained that he left office without outstanding salaries, pensions, gratuities, or unpaid obligations to contractors whose projects had been duly executed and certified.
Rufai’s analysis provides further context to that position and raises an important question about how we define and assess “debt” in this case.
Simply saying, “Peter Obi left Anambra in debt,” may not tell the whole financial story.
Obi’s case has never been that Anambra had no loan agreements on the books. It is that he settled due obligations — salaries, pensions, gratuities and certified contractor claims — and left a positive net position.

If the slave trade were still happening today, Bwala, Reno and some APC supporters would probably defend it and lecture Nigerians on how wonderful it is and how it is somehow helping the country.
