Anambra government urges voters to reject Peter Obi ahead of 2027 elections

Anambra urges voters to reject Peter Obi in 2027, branding him an APGA betrayer as Soludo’s government backs Tinubu amid a dispute over state loan disputes.

The Anambra State government has told supporters of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to defend their political base and resist the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 elections.   In a post tagged “A Betrayal Alert for Ndi APGA” on Monday via X, the state government alleged that Peter Obi, the NDC presidential candidate, has been on a mission to destroy APGA since 2014.   “A vote for Peter Obi and the NDC is a vote to kill APGA,” the post reads.   “Since 2014, Obi has had one mission: to destroy the party that made him. In 2025, while President Tinubu stood with APGA, Obi backed opposition to bury us.     “Do not be deceived by a man who abandoned his own house. Anambra is APGA. Ndi APGA, defend your home. Resist the NDC.”   BACK STORY   Obi served as governor of Anambra from March 2006 to March 2014, although his first term was interrupted by his impeachment in November 2006.     In October 2014, he formally quit the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He left the PDP in May 2022 to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the Labour Party.   Obi polled third in the election, behind Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP, and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who was eventually declared winner.   In December 2025, the former Anambra governor left the Labour Party and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Nearly five months later, he and Rabiu Kwankwaso, former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), formally announced their defection to the New Democratic Congress (NDC).   In recent weeks, Obi and the Anambra government have been embroiled in a dispute over debts allegedly left behind by his administration.     The controversy began on September 14 when Izuchukwu Okafor, commissioner for finance in Anambra, said the state government was still repaying loans taken by previous administrations, including those of Obi and Willie Obiano, a former governor.   Obi subsequently dismissed the claim, saying he had no outstanding debts in the south-east state when he left office.   He said his administration did not owe salaries, pensions or contractors during his tenure, adding that he left N2.1 billion in ecological funds for the state.   Two days later, the state government released details of the external debt it said was inherited from Obi.     In a statement, Law Mefor, commissioner for information and value reorientation in Anambra, said Obi left $123.77 million in debt when he concluded his tenure.   Mefor also said there was no evidence that the N2.1 billion ecological funds claimed by Obi were kept in First Bank.
