Obi's media office rejects APC call for him to withdraw from the 2027 race
Leadership reported that the Peter Obi Media Office rejected a call by the APC Presidential Campaign Council for Obi, now the NDC candidate, to withdraw. The council, through spokesman Dele Alake, said Anambra's government disclosed $4.05 billion spent and $123.77 million in external loans during Obi's time in office. The rebuttal was not seen in full and the date of the exchange could not be confirmed.
Records of past governors are a central campaign theme.
Look for the audited figures, not slogans.
APC says the record is misrepresented.
Obi's office says the figures are out of context.
Treat both sides as partisan.
