Peter Obi: I’ve Never Received Any Pension Since I Left Office 8 Years Ago by vicdom(m): 2:07pm On Jul 25, 2022
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, said he has never received any pension since he left office as the governor of Anambra state eight years ago.

Obi made this disclosure on Saturday, while speaking at a function in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.

He said, “Since I left office eight years ago, I have never received any pension. Anambra State has never bought me any pure water because governors should not have any retirement package.

“You came to serve and when you finish, you should go home. God has blessed you enough. Whatever power God has given you, it’s by grace. Don’t abuse the grace of God. We must stop abusing God’s grace in this country and use public funds to serve the people.”

The former Governor said that as he was exiting office, he invited the chief executives of three banks where he had warehoused state funds for the next administration and publicly handed them over to his successor.

“When I was leaving office as Anambra Governor, I invited the Managing Director of Access Bank, Diamond Bank, and Fidelity Bank, and told them publicly that the balance of Anambra State money I kept in each of those banks was $50 million, and N12 billion each. They publicly confirmed it and I told them to give it to my successor to use and develop the state.

“Nobody asked me to save the money but it’s a public fund not my own. I needed to use it to work for the people.”

Obi said Nigeria must transition from a consuming nation to a producing nation if it wanted to survive.

“Nigeria is a country with a landmass of 923,000 square kilometers and a population of 200 million people. God blessed us with everything but we have over 100 million people living in poverty.

“Last year, Nigeria’s total export including oil was less than$30 billion but Vietnam has 331,000 square kilometers of land with a population of 100 million people, and their total export was $312 billion. Yet they have no oil. Their export is manufactured goods,” he said.

Now compare and contrast with the APC candidate..

Yet some people are still looking for reasons to make up their mind on who to vote

For me and my family, we are Proudly Obidient..

A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for prudence, capacity, character, competence, courage and visionary leadership.

These are the kind of persons that should be voted to hold Public Offices not polithiefcians like Tinubu who think public funds belong to them.
Infact 90% of those supporting that evil bat are either Bigots, Party affiliates or Brown envelope desperados eager to partake of his Bullion van loot.

A vote for obi is a vote for a national Monday sit at home

A vote for obi will see IPOB and Ekpa burn Nigeria and Nigerians

A vote for obi is a vote for wide spread cannibalism and another level of inter state criminality of IPOB and esn

They will forcefully enlist your state youth into esn and IPOB and brainwashed them to kill you people in your state

A vote for obi is a vote for religious intolerance and rise in demonic worship as seen in Anambra State

What has obi done in anambra to help fight esn and IPOB

Ekpa and IPOB follows him on Twitter

Has obi ever caution them even when the killing and cannibilization was on heat in anambra ..

It took Soludo efforts ..

Meanwhile OBi was in the state all along

Nigerian youths are wiser than IPOB bingos

Only foolish Nigerian citzens will vote Obi

A very good man and more, how many past governors can beat their chest and say the the same thing? None!

Meanwhile the Iragbiji drug baron has been milking the whole of southwest dry 15years after he left seat! As if that's not enough he's now targeting our federal pocket, but God will shame him..

You must be a joker..

Peter Obi is neither the Commander-in-Chief nor the current governor of Anambra State.

In case you don't know, the current governor of Anambra State is Soludo and he is doing his best to tame the insecurity.

When Peter Obi was governor of Anambra State he was confronted with the challenge of MASSOB secessionists. To his credit, he was able to crush them and restore peace to the state.

Let the current president and governor do their jobs.

If as a stakeholder in Anambra .. the crises and beheading in his state is not his business.. then we all should assume Nigeria is never and none of his business

He should focus more on his autopiloters and IPOB..
after all he gladly sits at home .. and sees no qualms about it .. even when anambrains are complaining

How will he the. Tackle Ekpa autopiloters and IPOB that has been beheading people in his state

A vote for Obi is a vote for ekpa and IPOB..

Obi lives in onitsha and sees no bad in their activities even when they behead house members and burn secretariate .. yet a former governor and presidential aspirants says its not his business

IPOB bingos are really unwise
