(In Nigeria) Soludo's SABMiller Claim Sparks Debate Over Peter Obi's Legacy in Anambra

 

Soludo is making waves with SABMiller and Peter Obi in Nigeria because there are insinuations that Governor Charles Soludo’s administration has confirmed SABMiller Breweries as Anambra’s highest tax-paying production company for over ten years, aligning with claims made by Peter Obi during his tenure as governor. 

The development has sparked renewed public debate over the true value of Obi’s investment in the brewery and its long-term impact on the state’s finances.

While these reports circulate, official statements from Anambra State Internal Revenue Service suggest SABMiller currently ranks sixth among corporate taxpayers in the state, not first.

This has raised questions about the accuracy of the trending narrative and whether political interests are shaping public perception. 

Observers note that Governor Soludo’s government previously clarified that Peter Obi’s investment in SABMiller was worth far less than widely claimed, urging focus on verified facts.
