And your silly, irrelevant and redundant essay negates the fact that he was part and friend with the same crowd responsible for the damage while he was missing in action or refused to offer the same advise to the same crooked, incompetent and corrupt people he hung around while in office?



And what's so new and innovative about what he spewed? It's not a new concept to borrow for capital and job creating projects that produces growth instead of recurrent and non progressive endeavors like the crowd he was part of did.


Abeg stop quoting me with silliness and lame rubbish...

The Nigerian newspapers, television stations, radio stations and Schools all over Nigeria should publish and broadcast Peter Obi statement and ideas.

The above mentioned media platforms should convert the time they use to discuss or broadcast foreign football matches to present PETER OBI economic and financial Management skills.

Also cultural, social and religious associations should also discuss Peter Obi presentations.

I believe God will reward Peter Obi.

4 out of 5 SE states collected FG salary bailout so what's your point and why should I be mad. The fact that Anambra did not collect bailout is irrelevant and makes no difference because Anambra is a poor state with one of the lowest state budgets in Nigeria.


Many of the bailed out states are still paying full 18k minimum wage salary while Anambra can not and is too poor to pay the full 18k minimum wage salary..






This is the problem with you people, you have penny wise, pound foolish syndrome.

Governors and leaders are voted into office to not to sit on money, but to use the money to invest, build infrastructures to create jobs and improve people's lives.

Obviously instead of investing, building infrastructures, creating jobs and improving people's lives, he foolishly sat on the money.

The question is, of what use is your saved money that did not fund any infrastructures, didn't create jobs or serve any meaningful purpose apart from the fact that the clueless former governor and your kind get to
empty and shallow brag on the internet?

In fact with all your saved money, Anambra/Obiano is still borrowing billions to fund his government and still have almost nothing to show for whatever meaningless money you people are fooling people with that you saved.

Btw, according to obingo, peter obi did not hand over any N75 billion so who is lying? You, obingo or peter obi?


Abeg keep quiet with that nonsense...

Peter Obi left only N9bn cash – Gov. Obiano


See game....


Somebody is lying.... grin grin grin
Go and watch that video and you will know where the money is. Obiano was talking about cash he met. Obi's savings was fixed.
If your point is that anambra is owing N10bn debt then you will be so shocked to see that the N75bn in question is now over N185bn safely stashed in three different Nigerian banks.

The man himself knew there were peopl like you when he mentioned banks and exact amount in dollars and naira deposited there. If you doubt him, go to them and verify.

And he chose a credible, hardworking individual to succeed him and continue his legacy. What this man has done for Anambra State can only be appreciated fully when that state falls into another bad spell of leadership like what Mbadinuju provided.

I respect Anambra as a state. Its only state that has no problem whatsoever with civil servants, pensioners and tax payers. despite their limited resources compared to some states they are able to manage their resources towards making life bearable for common men.... if all state governors could take a clue from peter obi and willy obiano, I believe Nigeria will be a better place. and also the central government will be left with no option rather than to conform with the will of the common man.

I usually try to look away from issues of politics because most arguments are usually strife ridden and riddled with wrong assumptions and unconfirmed info.

However, for knowledge sakes, I will respond to your query. Why did he support GEJ;

You see, this guy highlighted how in his tenure of being governor, he tried to cut spending to the barest minimum. You can remember of recent, there was some news on the air about the lack of political will by the GEJ administration to save. It was understood that the FG attempted to save only for the governors to take him to court requesting that the money be shared, of which they won.

Now, I do not like GEJ, neither did I benefit from any of his profligate spendings, however, GEJ's only undoing was a lack of firmness. He wanted to please everyone of which is impossible. You should understand that in a ploy to please everyone, he didn't make some important decisions like taking a stand in circumstances such as the above case.

GEJ was soft, and always wanted to obey the rule of law. Now, thats an important thing in democracy, but in a country as Nigeria with its commeupance of rogues in political spheres, that's a no no. We needed a firm president with a vision, Jonathan had vision, but wasn't firm. The current president happens to have put in our faces that he is firm but, he appears right now to be clueless about governance and the rule of law. Anyway, I will not judge until 2019.
I wish them all the best.

Now, ask me again, why he supported GEJ.


Forgive my epitles and the blunder, it was unedited.

According to Obi, Anambra has the best road network in Nigeria. I can't say if i agree with this or not cos I've not travelled the whole of Nigeria. But isn't it shameful that commuters in this state with the best road network find it very hard to travel from Onitsha to Enugu on a road that is perhaps the most important in the state? Some will shout federal road, but obi couldn't do anything about that road by his virtue of being very close to the president for years. So shameful. Even Obi is not worth any trust
have you ever been to Anambra state.
if you have then you don't know what you are talking about.
