Obi disputes $123.77m debt claim, says he did not borrow or issue bond for Anambra

Former Anambra Governor Peter Obi rejected the state government's description of $123.77 million in external financing as loans he left behind, saying he never borrowed from a financial institution or issued a bond during his tenure. He cited differing Debt Management Office figures and said the funds were mainly multilateral development programmes, not conventional loans he personally secured.
