"I Left Only 52 Roads, Not 96" – Peter Obi Hits Back At Obiano by Apeshy101(m): 5:33pm On Jun 27, 2020
Former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi has refuted the claims made by Gov. Obiano that he inherited 96 road projects from Peter Obi in 2014 when he came into power.

Reacting to the claim, Chief Joe-Martins Uzodike who was the commissioner for Information under Obi and Campaign Director General that brought Obiano into power in 2014 said it was only 52 roads and not 96 uncompleted road projects that was handed over to Obiano.

He went further to state that all the 52 uncompleted road projects were all paid for and that Obi was not owing any contractor as at the time he handed power over to gov Obiano.

Obiano had in a video posted by James Eze claimed that he inherited 96 uncompleted road projects from his predecessor and that he has completed about 51 out of the 96.


According to Joe-Martins, he stated that only about 5% of the 52 roads have been completed by gov Obiano.

He said: “I do not know why they decided to double the number, but my interest is to correct factual details.

“It is on record, and I have the records, that Obi inherited 13 roads from Ngige which he completed, went on to construct 230 completed roads and left 52 for Obiano, out of which I am aware he has not done up to 5%.

“Even at that, before he left, Obi paid all the contractors and suppliers for the certificates they generated, which means he did not owe a single contractor.

“If as the Director-General of his campaign in 2013, he could abandon the Nkolifia (Awka-Etiti)-St. Peter Clever-Abada Junction road that passed my house and remained less than 100 metres to complete, which road do you think he completed?”

On the claim that the roads Obiano inherited from Obi are liabilities, Uzodike said: “I have followed the debate on road, where they tried in vain to categorised roads yet to be done as liabilities.

“I am waiting to see how he will end, because, beyond their lies, Obiano has not completed up to 5% of the roads he inherited from Obi, has not evidently done 10% of the roads he flagged of himself in different towns and will surely not achieve 12% by the time he will hand over.

“The way it is now, there is hardly a town in the state that does not have a road flagged of without mobilisation or a trip of sand tipped on it.”


He went on to list the 52 Roads as follows;
1. Amansea - Ndiukwuenu - Okpeze- Amaeteiti- Awgbu Road Phase 1

96-52=44. Obiano take note of the excess figure, so that we can rest. Because before we voted, we didn't rest, after we voted, we aren't still resting, it's like we will stop voting and electing political office holders in Nigeria. Let all heads of families in Nigeria be given federal allocation so that they can take care of their households directly, maybe then we will rest

I'm not sure Peter Obi made this statement.

Everybody knows that Obiano has gone ahead to complete roads Obi awarded. In the end, if the roads are built, anyone with the interest of Anambra at heart will be happy.

Even the Agulu hotel which was started by Obi, was completed by Obiano in contrast to the behavior of Nigerian governors. For instance, The Enugu international conference center which was about 95% completed by Chimaroke Nnamani administration has been abandoned by subsequent regimes for more than 15 years now.

You can't beat Peter Obi when it comes to record keeping, I recall a post here when he was accused of tax default before the 2019 elections, he personally went to the tax office with tax receipts dating back to 1980, the young lady who was in charge had to ask him for forgiveness, many of us who saw that thread marvelled at his meticulousness grin angry

Obi will give Obiano the payment receipts from those contractors as he claims, he has never been known to make statements he cannot back up with facts

The only thing Willie is good at is drinking alcohol and womanising. Many complain that Buhari travels a lot but forgot that Willie has spent more time outside Nigeria than buhari.

A drunk who squandered the resources bequeathed to him with nothing to show for it is now looking for who to blame. The thing on the average you can hardly point 15 roads started and complete by Willie and his wife oso di eti pia.

Even umunamehi road in ihiala connecting uli and many more roads in ihiala have been abandoned.

Believe me when Willie leaves office, he will be rated side by side with mbadinuju because he came into office unprepared and only good in paying Victor Umeh monthly and drinking kai kai.
. Very useless Willie taking electricity from awka the state capital to his village aguleri.

You guys might need to find out how government road projects are executed and paid for by government. Projects especially road constructions have completion milestones assigned and for each of those milestones attained, the contractor would invite the ministry of works engineers who would come inspect and attest that the contractor has indeed completed such milestone and a work completion certificate will be issued such contractor. The contractor armed with this certificate can then approach the government to be paid. Read the article again and see where he said he fully paid for all work completion certificates issued before the end of his tenure.
