Do we really need fact check on Soludo's statement?
Who else should know more about Obi's performance and records in office than his brother/successor,an erudite professor of economics with higher intellect & capacity.

Even Obi himself can't disprove the fact of the matter as he was made to be humbled by Soludo's statement of fact.

I reteirate that Obi is a packaged scam and sham that shouldn't be given an opportunity to govern a complex country like nigeria with hydra-headed challenges in our desperate quest for a 'New Nigeria'.
Nigeria is beyond Obi's capacity, competence and scope in all ramifications.

Why do you guys show sheer stupidity. Did Peter Obi hand over to Soludo?

I know you hate Obi and you are trying all your best through this platform to pull him down but I can assure you that you're wasting your time, how I wish you can conduct same research on Tinubu drug case


Peter Obi responded to this very Report on LBS yesterday. On 19 Nov 2010 — Magnus Kpakol who is then incharge of National Poverty Eradication Programme rated Anambra state high as the state with the lowest poverty rate among all the states in the country.

Watch the response from Peter Obi on Lagos business school

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku1FWoenBg4

Olodo. Is it about what somebody said or what NBS said.

When Obi roll out his lietistics, you all hail him...but when the real owner of statistics, the Prof of Economics roll out the facts, you do not want to believe it...This is serious oooooo. In Dino's voice: This Hoebi people self!!!!! grin

Peter Obi is the biggest fraud that will never happen to Nigeria.

He said he never borrowed one Kobo, fact checked he actually grew Anambra debt stock by over 2000%.

He grew poverty in Anambra.

He grew infrastructure decay with substandard infrastructures.

He grew insecurity and police brutality with Akwuzu SARS.

Grew unemployment with his massive importation.

Anambra is a paradise but Peter obi lives in Lagos. All his family are wholely based abroad.

This fraud will never happen to Nigeria.

Apart from Seyi remind me where Tinubu's children are based?

This is all utter rubbish.

If Soludo maintains that Anambra people became poorer under Peter Obi's watch, it is also an indictment of his service under the federal government

He was an economic adviser to the president and later served as the central bank governor from 2004-2009 and was rightly booted out afterwards.

His arrogance is troubling. There is no way a state's progress can be entirely divorced from the growth of the national economy. Therefore ,if Anambra experienced a growth in poverty under Peter Obi, that means the economy faired poorly and the statistics wrong.

The PDP years were golden compared to atrocious economic performance under Buhari. Buhari, and not APC, destroyed the economy. The buck stops at his door.

The economy under PDP from 1999-2013 grew at the average of 6% annually leading to a doubling of GDP within those years. .

If it's true that levels of poverty doubled under Peter Obi from 2006-2014, that means the country's GDP must have tumbled as well. Charles Soludo was a prominent face of that government. That simply means all the gains under his watch were am outright lie.

Obi saved money for Obiano to spend. That makes Obi a better choice than Tinubu, who put Lagos in debt

At least in 2010-2011 things were affordable in Nigeria. This is 2022, Buhari has made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world, why isn't anyone talking about that. What's with the constant attack on Peter Obi?

Under Buhari thousands have lost their jobs, and more are still loosing.

Under Buhari Bandits and Boko Haram kills Nigerians like chickens on a daily basis.

Under Buhari inflation has exceeded 200%

Under Buhari corruption has become the order of the day.

Under Buhari accountability has become a Greek word.

So what's with the obession with Peter Obi?

Contratry to you people popular belief no one is obsessed with him. As a matter of fact his matter and becoming so repulsive because it stinks and reeks to the core of logic. It is only fellow and dear Nigerians that are falling for the Yahoo Yahoo they are presenting that most are trying correct their sense. How do you support a father that has money and starve his house, which Kain father figure is that. And worst the funds were not used to progress the house but just kept inside and he keeps praising himself about it. With empowerment alone he could have lifted that state from where it is today now and the sizeable investments would be paying off today. Instead they are destitute, poor, low on most qualities of life and wailing. People who have eyes sees him for what he is, a glorified lazy miser that lacks vision and imagination. I can bet you anything, the money he is claiming that he did save are all from Nigeria Federal Govt allocation and not one cent of it is internally generated. Your people can't be hungry when there is money is the system, internally generated and circulated..they may complain about price regulations but they won't be poor and hungry. Let that sink in

What will you call Tinubu the drug dealer? The same Tinubu hiding his father's name, his home town, his real name, his real age, his real certificate and even source of wealth.

I don't hate people, I really don't care about Peter Obi.

I simply fact checked something Soludo.

Now if you want to counter what I wrote and prove me wrong do so.

Solido said according to the NBS…….
I checked the NBS and found it true…

If another agency said something else, it is their problem and not mine.
Don't waste your time on people who can't reason objectively. They've been shouting "go and verify" like their master. Now Soludo and you have verified as they wanted and laid the facts bare, but because it doesn't favour their saint who has no fault and the "best ever governor in Nigeria who took poverty in his state to 68%", they're crying all over cyberspace.

Former Central Bank Of Nigeria and Present Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo in an article titled "History beckons and I will not be silent " wrote about the poverty level of Anambra state from 2006 to 2010 while the present Presidential Candidate of the Labor Party, Peter Obi was in his first term as governor of Anambra state.

In an article which many described as either very needless as they claimed Charles Soludo is merely bitter and angry, others praised it as they said it brought into public light numerous false misconceptions by Peter Obi's supporters.

Either way, his comment on the statistics of the poverty level in Anambra, got tongues wagging and fingers typing (mine included) and a lot of people have said the former CBN governor simply lied (but did he?)

Claim: Charles Soludo wrote that "…poverty in Anambra actually grew (from less than 25% in 2005) to about 53% under Peter Obi in 2010/2011 but fell under Willie Obiano to 14.78% in 2020. Yes, poverty more than doubled under Peter Obi and more than 50% of Ndi Anambra were in poverty under him. Go and verify"

This isn't all as he had wrote something similar in 2015 in an article titled "Buhari vs Jonathan: Beyond the Election" where he wrote that "According to the National Bureau of Statistics, poverty rose under his watch in Anambra from 20% in 2004 (lowest in Nigeria then) to 68% in 2010 (a 238% deterioration!)."

These two quotes seem similar but can also be be different as the numbers dont match but if we look closely, in the 2022 letter, he mentioned 2010/2011 which was mostly measured in 2011 and in the 2015 letter, he was specific about the year 2010.

Verification: According to a press briefing By then Statistician General of the federation and lead of the National Bureau of Statistics, Yemi Kale in a press briefing titled "Press Briefing By The Statistician-General Of The Federation/Chief Executive
Officer, National Bureau Of Statictics Dr. Yemi Kale" delivered in February 2012.

Now since the NBS does not release poverty levels per years, we can only judge with the 2010 report

It is seen that the poverty level of Anambra state as at 2010 was at 68% (see image below) which matches the value quoted by Professor Charles Soludo in his 2015 article.

Verdict: The statement by the Anambra state governor, Professor Soludo claiming that the poverty level in Anambra while Peter Obi was governor rose to 68% in 2010 and 53% in 2010/2011 can be said to be true and not an exaggeration.


Also notable is that when Peter Obi responded to Professor Soludo in 2015, he did not refute the poverty percentage.
Please...
