The tribute comes amid an ongoing dispute between Obi and the Anambra State Government over liabilities linked to his tenure as governor. The state government says loans connected to projects from that period had an outstanding balance of about N127.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, while also citing inherited salary, pension and gratuity obligations.
Obi disputes the claims, insisting his administration settled obligations due before he left office and left substantial savings for his successor. He has challenged the state government to provide evidence establishing that he left unpaid debts, while both sides continue to present differing accounts of the state’s financial position at the end of his administration.
