Anambra State Governor,  Chief Willie Obiano, has reaffirmed his allegations against his predecessor,  Mr Peter Obi,  insisting that he demanded the sum of N7.5 billion from him for sponsoring his elections in 2013.

Obiano said he believes in utilizing the available funds in public works,  road and development of the state rather than settle godfather.

Obi’s people quickly denied the allegations with facts and figures, thus opening a floodgate of accusations and counter-accusations that have built up what is today, an intractable hostility.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
