I heard this from his very close aide, Peter Obi as governor refused to renovate his late father's house at the village in Agulu. He doesn't live there so he considered putting money there a waste. grin
Exactly, I know the house had a green old roof that time.

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain and Anambra indigene Chief Chris Uba, has described former governor Peter Obi as one the stingiest persons he has met. Uba passed the verdict when Governor Emeka Ugwuanyi of Enugu State hosted the meeting of the party.

Not impressed by the quality of champagne presented to them by the host, Chief Uba, in the presence of Obi said jokingly that the meeting deserved better champagne and wine and not the type Obi served them when he was governor.

Chris Uba recounted one of his several encounters with Obi at Government House, Awka when the latter was governor.

He said Obi served guests with champagne “Obele ego” and the quality of wine meant for students and when anybody complained, he would reply by saying that Government House was not a bar or restaurant.

Continuing Uba said: “The worst is that when one complained too much, he would start handling with his calculator, telling you how many schools and hospitals the money saved from buying costly drinks would help in re-building.”

After throaty laughter by the host and others around, the host said he noted his observations, while insisting that governments that did not cut costs would not achieve much.

Meanwhile, he assured him, tongue in cheek, that more drinks would come. Speaking on the encounter, Obi’s former Commissioner for Information, Chief Barr. Joe-Martins Uzodike disagreed with Uba, insisting that people always mistake parsimony and prudent management of funds for stinginess.

He said: “Obi is not stingy, but manages resources very well by curtailing all manner of waste, extravagance, and inappropriate use of state resources. He deserves an award and should be held out for emulation rather than being made a butt for lunch jollity.”

He continued: “If not for his parsimony which some people mistake for stinginess, would he have ended up as a governor who did more than others in terms of Infrastructure without borrowing a dime, but instead left over N75 billion for his successor?”

On a normal day nah people like Peter obi suppose rule Nigeria at this critical time that we need to save money and also generate funds to make Nigeria work again.

But the kind of politics we play in Nigeria presently, if you no dey give out money or you are in government and you block all the loopholes. The country will turn against you and kick you out.

Obi's problem na untruthfulness. E say e no dey stingy but e dey amass a lot of questionable funds for tax havens. Pesin wey no like money no dey behave like dat. Now years after e comot for office, most of d tins e build don expire because dem be inferior quality yet hin money neva expire.
E dey tink only about himself is all I see. Baba Akande is regarded as frugal not stingy but Obi is not frugal but stingy because he has so so much yet hardly involved in philantropy. How many times have u heard that Obi , despite his billions,will donate cash to people affected by disasters in any part of Nigeria or his Ananbra state yet wen election come e get money to share for some politicians to organize an audio and laughable 1 million march . Has e even touched a million people's lives with philantropy from his billions. I will not be surprised if Obi dey richer than Tinubu sef but na Tinubu go donate N1 b to LASU, donate N50m to Kaduna, millions to Oyo state etc and fund Kanu Heart Foundation, NASFAT etc.
Dat na why people feel obliged to pay back Tinubu for his kindness and generosity. Wetin people go pay Obi back for? He go rathed pay small boys to influence twitter than to build hospitals or help d displaced people in their difficult times.

Peter Obi is the greatest lying bastard their among all Nigeria politician. A fool that loot N250 million weekly like he was caught in Lagos deserve to be behead.

I pity your father n your generation born n unborn cos out of bigotry you have chosen a criminal as a saviour. Peter Peter Obi is the proverbial wolf in sheep clothing. Saint but a diehard looter n killer.

From 1999 till date how many governors in Nigeria own Pandora account in their daughters name. Do you fool even understand how criminal this bastard went to save his loot in a 13 year old daughter name ?

Imagine being caught red-handed with N250 million on a single trip to Lagos n this criminal travel to same Lagos every other week. Do you have any idea how many N250 million he travels with each he jets out of Anambra within 8 years.

Dude you are not only killing yourself but your father mother n unborn generation by supporting this diehard criminals out of tribal sentiment n bigotry. I am glad he will never be president aha I for like make your unborn generation suffer tire like those slaughter under him during Azu river genocide.



CSTRR:

Pandora criminal?

And the efcc have not invited him, even once?

So if I move my legitimate funds to a tax Haven in Panama, you would call me a criminal too?

You are not well.

You can't pour portor portor on a good man.

And the sad thing is that you are doing a disservice to your children.

If Peter obi does not win, all the alternatives would steal the future of your children blind.
