Overview
Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi has claimed that he did not leave behind any debt, nor owe any contractor during his time and while he left office in 2014. BUT THE CLAIM IS FALSE.
Our fact check found that his claims have been found to be false and misleading.
In a widely circulated interview with Arise TV in June 2025, former Anambra State governor Peter Obi stated that he left office in March 2014 without owing any contractor, supplier, pensioner, or public servant. He added that he left behind funds sufficient to cover salaries for three months.
“The day I left office, I was not owing one contractor, one supplier who had executed his job… I was not owing gratuity. I was not owing pension. I left salary enough to pay salary for three months.” Obi said.
The statement was widely shared on social media platforms, including X and Facebook, and cited by commentators as proof of Obi’s fiscal prudence. But does this claim hold up to scrutiny?
