ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION

I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days.

I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics.

I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended.

Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them.

Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally:

As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility.

When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified.

Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years.

The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014.

The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting.

The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure.

This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record.

The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure.

The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.

There’s presently no indices of human development that Bola Tinubu has improved positively.

Not Education, not Healthcare, not Standard of living & definitely not Security.

Absolutely nothing!!

During my interview last night with the former senate president, Anyim Pius Anyim, the crucial question emerged: when politicians say it’s the south’s turn, which south are they talking about?

He talked about "the south's turn" and I challenged him to tell us: which south?

Because Nigeria’s south is not one political bloc. Obasanjo came from the south-west and had eight years. Tinubu, also from the south-west, is now being asked to take another eight.

So where, exactly, does this “south’s turn” leave the south-east? If “south” has effectively become shorthand for “south-west,” let’s have the honesty to say so.

And if Atiku can run in 2027 despite the supposedly sacred “south’s turn,” then perhaps we should stop pretending this is an equity argument. It’s a free-for-all.

Let every region produce its candidate. Let Nigerians decide. But please, let’s stop calling political preference “zoning” and selling it to Nigerians as equity.

Now, pour forth the torrent and set off a firestorm!

We are starting on high expectations. Succeeding such a performer like Okwute, His Excellency the outgoing governor, is a huge task.

Under Peter Obi, Anambra State moved from 26th position in 2006 to number 1 in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in 2014.

65.92% of candidates from Anambra State had at least five credits including English and Mathematics.

"It's a very challenging period economically. Truly, FAAC allocations have increased. When I came in, in 2019, the first salary I signed was N4.5B; today it's N18B. The N18k minimum wage in 2019 could buy more than N80k can today in 2026. That's the voodoo economics of President Tinubu." — Governor Seyi Makinde Says, as Oyo Govt extends wage award for three months, to continue transport subsidy on Omituntun buses
