The Anambra State Government has escalated its dispute with former governor Peter Obi over the state's financial inheritance. It put the balance of eight external loans it says were contracted under his administration at N127.4 billion as of June 30, 2026. The government also disputed Obi's claim that he left about N2.1 billion in an ecological fund account for his successor, saying it could not find records showing that the state received such money during his eight years in office. The latest claims were contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor.
