‘I Paid What Was Due’, Obi Rejects Anambra Debt Claim 








原文原文 / Original Text

阿南布拉州前州长Peter Obi日前要求州政府拿出证据，证明其执政期间留下了未偿还的债务。\n\n他否认了该州仍在偿还其任期内贷款的说法。\n\nObi表示，他在2014年离任时，已经结清了所有工人和退休人员的应付款项，以及那些手续已办妥的供应商和承包商的款项。\n\n他是在回应州财政专员Izuchukwu Okafor的言论时做出上述表态的。Okafor此前称，阿南布拉州每月的联邦财政拨款仍在被扣除，以偿还包括Obi及其继任者Willie Obiano在内的历届政府所获取的贷款。\n\n尼日利亚民主大会（NDC）总统候选人Obi在财政专员参加Voice of Ndi Anambra播客节目后，通过一段视频作出了回应。\n\n在我离任的那一天，阿南布拉州政府不欠任何应付的工资、养老金或抚恤金。\n\n我没有拖欠任何已完成工作且文件已处理完毕的供应商或承包商的款项，一个人都没有。在我离任的那天，我支付了所有到期款项，我不欠任何承包商的钱，他说。\n\n这位前州长还试图区分属于该州的资金与他所说的在移交给Obiano之前已指定用于特定项目的资金。

Former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, has challenged the state government to produce evidence that his administration left behind unpaid obligations.

He rejected a claim that the state is still servicing loans incurred during his tenure.

Obi said he left office in 2014 after settling what was due to workers, pensioners, suppliers and contractors whose claims had been processed.

He was reacting to a statement by the state Commissioner for Finance, Izuchukwu Okafor, who said deductions were still being made from Anambra’s monthly federal allocation to service loans obtained by previous administrations, including those of Obi and his successor, Willie Obiano.

Obi, who is the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), responded in a video shared after the commissioner’s appearance on the Voice of Ndi Anambra Podcast.

“As at the day I left office, I was not owing any salary, pension, or gratuity that Anambra state government is supposed to pay.

“I was not owing any supplier or contractor that had executed his job and his documents processed, not one. The day I left office; I paid what was due to be paid. I wasn’t owing any contractors”, he said.

The former governor also sought to distinguish between money belonging to the state and funds he said had been earmarked for specific projects before he handed over to Obiano.
