Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu, has urged Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo and former governor Peter Obi to end their ongoing public disagreement over the state’s financial records.
Ejimakor said the dispute between the two politicians would not determine the political future of the Igbo people or the outcome of the 2027 presidential election. He made the comments in a post on X while reacting to the escalating exchange between Obi and the Anambra State Government.
“Soludo and Obi should stop this feud,” Ejimakor said, adding that the disagreement “does no political good for either of them or for Ndigbo.” He further argued that the dispute would not influence who wins or loses the 2027 presidential election.
The disagreement intensified after Obi, who is now the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), challenged claims concerning loans allegedly obtained by his administration while he was governor of Anambra State from 2006 to 2014.
The Soludo administration has maintained that Obi left behind outstanding financial obligations, including loans and inherited arrears. The state government has cited records it says show liabilities associated with previous administrations and has defended its handling of inherited debts.
The dispute has consequently become part of the wider political conversation ahead of the 2027 general elections, particularly concerning public borrowing, accountability and the financial records of past administrations.
Ejimakor said the continuing exchange could distract both politicians from their respective responsibilities, arguing that one should concentrate on governance while the other focuses on his presidential campaign.
The development is significant because both Soludo and Obi remain prominent figures in Anambra and the wider Southeast political landscape. Obi is preparing for the 2027 presidential contest, while Soludo continues to govern Anambra.
The disagreement over the state’s debt history is expected to remain a subject of public debate as political parties and candidates prepare for the 2027 elections.
