Governor Peter Obi of Anambra state has said unlike other public officers, he channels his bribe money into bettering the lot of the people of his state. Obi, who spoke with journalists in Awka, the state capital, last weekend, explained that since contractors would always want to part with some percentage of their profit, he has devised a means to channel the “kick-back” into welfarism programs.

In less than three years in office, the governor said he has been able to save N350 million through this process, proceeds of which, he said, are pumped into the acquisition of 50 taxi cabs and 50 buses donated to the people of the state to alleviate transportation problem.

“They will always come to say ‘thank you’ with huge sums of money. At first, I was rejecting it, but I gave it a second thought and came to the realization that the money is the state’s money and can be beneficial to the people of the state. Today, the 50 yellow buses and 50 yellow taxis you see plying various routes in Anambra state are as a result of this effort,” he explained.

The governor, who said he rejected the proposal of two bullet proof vehicles valued at N150 million upon assumption of office, explained further that it was the money that he used in acquiring 50 Peugeot 406 cars on direct purchase from PAN, at a cost of N3 million each.

The vehicles, he said, were given to his commissioners and permanent secretaries who had no official vehicles as at the time he took over. The Anambra state governor is, however, changing his mind on the use of bullet proof vehicles, an idea he earlier jettisoned, especially as another election year is approaching.

“I have ordered for a bullet proof car valued at N25 million and have been paying the money since June last year and very soon, the car will be delivered to me,” he said.

He also said it has become necessary to acquire the bullet proof car because of the turbulent and peculiar political climate in Anambra state, adding that, “with election approaching, I can’t afford not to acquire the bullet proof car.”

Both of them are thieves undeserving of serving in any public office

If Peter obi is a thief, then there is no honest person in Nigeria.

The guy cut down the cost of governance on a scale yet to be matched.

Which is more incriminating ?
A self acclaimed criminal Peter Obi or another criminal Ganduje who is denying where he was caught red handed ?

Ganduje is yet to admit to this injustice on the Nigeria people while Obi already confessed but who will Igbos like you lampoon n make your usual senseless noise all over because of nothing but pure unadulterated bigotry ? I pity you.

He is compare to the kind of APC leader have now

It's really pathetic and ridiculous that a man with such an undaunted reputation can be ridiculed out of his own words like this.
He clearly said he collected gifts not incentives directly meant to lure him in granting favours.

Peter Obi is has a reputable personality that can't be abolished by such kind of ridiculous bants.
He's clearly one of the few Nigerians that didn't have and live with the average selfishness of Nigerians.

He is flawed like every other person, but I am sure that his flaws can be said to be the perfection of this entire APC admin therein.

Save your condemnation and names for those in APC, not our Obisunate that cures and reforms.
