Former Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has been exposed by his successor, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.
Soludo said: “In terms of debt I inherited, it runs into hundreds of billions of Naira. In that of cash, we met about 300 million Naira only.”
“In fact let’s not talk about it. Our treasury is funny. But I hope we shall make money henceforth to help us fulfill our promises for infrastructure and development of the state.”
“But in terms of what I met in our coffers, my brother, it’s pathetic. Please let us not go there. God will help us.”
“Anambra State finance is in bad shape and in dire need of restoration.”
For those who don’t know, Obiano was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday, March 17, 2022 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos on his way to America.
