Obi Was The Best Governor To Have Led A State In Nigeria by Bonavi: 9:01am On Oct 10, 2022 |
Obi met Anambra when Anambra was the least developed state in the whole country. Even in the southeast, Anambra was at the bottom. Awka the state capital then was a typical village, Onitsha was a terrible slum, Education was at its very lowest. Above all these, the federal allocation for Anambra was one of the lowest in the federation and there is simply no prospect atall. All over Anambra there was hardly any motorable roads except the few done by Ngige in his short time in office. Obi met Anambra at this zero level and within the eight years of his administration, turned Anambra to one of the most developed states outside Lagos and Abuja because those were developed by the huge funds of the federal government. Obi gave Awka a befitting look to compete favourably with the major cities in Nigeria. He transformed Onitsha into the mega city it is today and gave Nnewi a tremendous facelift. He went on to create many more towns from the scratch by constructing many connecting roads and transfered some of the markets in Onitsha to some of these newly created towns - Ekwulobia, Oko, Abagana, Enugu Ukwu, Agu Ukwu, Ifite dunu, Ifite Ukpo, Nkpor, Agulu, Umuchu, Umuoji, Oba, Ihiala, Umunya, Ogbunike, Ogidi, Nise, Nteje, Aguleri and many other towns. He took Anambra from the lowest to the top in education. He invested and created wealth for Anambra and left #75billion in cash while leaving office Someone would be at a lost how he did all these wonders. It's simply about cutting the cost of governance. When he resumed as governor, the usual party cabal assembled came up with a budget to refurnished the governor's office and when Obi saw it he was horrified. He was handed a budget of #950million just to furnish his (Obi)'s office. He took the prepared budget and pruned it down #220,000 because some gadgets, computers needed and this is how he went on to cut all the humongous cost in every area and sector in the his government. As a governor, he never used above three vehicles in his convoy, he normally used two vehicles - his own and the security vehicle. Some months after that, his party members ganged up and impeached him and he went to court and won them in court and went on to finally send godfatherism completely parking in the state. If Obiano followed his guideline Anambra would have overtaken Lagos in development. Nigeria has the opportunity to a real prosperous nation if they would give this man the chance. I bet you, Obi will develop every nook and corner of this country because Nigeria has the resources 4 Likes |
