Ex-Governor Peter Obi and Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State

“Former Governor Peter Obi saddled me with a huge domestic debt of N127 billion when he left office in March 2014. My silence over the debt my predecessor sought to tie my hands with had been mainly because I did not want to allow my regime to be distracted at inception. I wanted to concentrate on the delivering of my promise of good governance to Ndi Anambra.”

“The N127 billion debt came mostly from the 101 road contracts that the former governor hurriedly awarded at the dying minutes of his regime without making any provision whatsoever for them in order to create problems for my administration from the very first day.”

“Other disingenuous designs by my predecessor to make sure that my regime never really took off are the last minute employment of 6000 workers without provision for their welfare as well as the various hotels and independent power projects which he had no plans to complete.”

“I quietly completed 51 out of the 101 roads and assured Ndi Anambra that the remaining 50 would soon be completed.”
