Obiano left Awka better than he met it. If you compare today's Awka with what it use to be before Obiano administration; you will wonder if Obiano's predecessor ever lived in the state capital.

Obiano finished 2 terms and handed over to Soludo. Why are you still campaigning for him? Is he going to senate? Last i checked, he wants to go back to US!

Granted, Peter left N75 billion in the Coffers with N127 billion debt. Perhaps that’s his forte. He had No idea on what to do with those Billions. He was scared to sanction big projects that will bring Anambra to limelight. All he did in eight ( years of Oil boom and strong economy was save money in the Bank. When he left, he had no much project to his name aside money in the Bank. Perhaps, that wasn’t the reason he became Governor.

In eight ( years, Willie Obiano changed the narratives. He acknowledged that his predecessor left money in the State coffers. Obiano wasn’t an expert when it comes to saving money in the Bank. Instead, a project driven and resulted oriented Governor.

In just 4 years, Nigerian economy went on decline, dollar surged, FAAC and JAAC dropped. While many other State Governors trooped to Abuja for bailout funds and trimmed their wage Bill and workers who they described as redundant. Willie Obiano employed more ndi Anambra into the civil and public service and never owed anyone their salary. While the state of the Nation’s economy was in comatose, Willie Obiano didn’t stop constructing projects and providing succor for the ordinary.

He may not have done so well in urban roads, but he was discerning enough when it comes to rural roads. Many communities never knew what road constructions were prior to Willie Obiano administration, but today, the story has changed. Aside rural roads, He rehabilitated PHCs across Anambra State. He came up with community choose your project initiative and operation light up Anambra State which impacted the entire 180 communities in the State.

In the eight ( years of Peter Obi, he struggled with insecurity, we remember him for the innocent lives of ndi Anambra he ordered Csp James Nwafor to dispatch to their ancestors in his bid to fight insecurity. The dead bodies of Anambra and ala Igbo young youths were thrown into Ezu River and Amansea River, yet the insecurity didn’t stop. Dr. Willie Obiano took the reigns and restored the hope of the ordinary man and would go on to make Anambra the safest State in West Africa for a long period before the recent collapse as a result of IPOB agitation and #EndSARS infractions.

And just like Soludo who said his administration will take off from Okpoko, Willie Obiano did start from Upper Iweka and till date, the effects are still visible in Onitsha and its environs.

In 2014, Anambra had a population below four (4) Million people, but in less than four (4) years, the population surged. There were influx of people into the State as a result of the opportunities that was made available by Willie Obiano administration. Today, Anambra is the second most densely populated State in Nigeria after Lagos state yet with the lowest unemployment figures. You obviously didn’t ask how Willie Obiano did the magic and sustained it for a period of eight ( years.

Anambra IGR was a mess when Obiano took over from Obi. In just two years, Willie Obiano performed the magic and would benefit from the ease of doing business and safe environment he created in the State; Anambra became a leading pack in Internally Generated Revenue. I will still blame the Governor for not being in charge and would only trust a few men with the State Revenue who created windows and would pocket Anambra money; the EFCC must not spare these guys. They were the real virus in Obiano administration.

Willie Obiano sustained the legacy of Peter Obi in Education and even did more. For eight ( years, the standard set by Obi didn’t drop. Money were constantly allocated to Missions to manage schools under their care. This act alone, reduced Private school dominance in Anambra State and returned the glory of public schools.

While you still feel bitter and would want the world to know that Willie Obiano had over 2000 aides; don’t forget to add that thousands won the fight and battle against poverty through that singular initiative. Graduates and bright young population who would have added to the long list of criminals and syndicates in our society were instead absorbed into governance to add their quota to the development of our dear State and in so doing earned values that would last them a lifetime. Many of those are today CEOs, Business developers, political leaders and lots more. Willie Obiano understood so well that in mixed economy and in a society where there are no much opportunities, the Government steps in to shoulder responsibilities. This he did without noise. You may choose to disagree that appointments are not for charity, but let it be on record that the human capital development is not defined by your school of thought alone.

In as much as Governor Soludo wasn’t clear about what he met in the coffer, let it be on record that Willie Obiano left many projects in place that will account for the moneys Obi left for him and these projects when utilized, would yield immediate returns to the State.

Anambra is today an Oil producing State and due for the 13% Oil Derivation entitlement. All were made possible by Dr. Willie Obiano.

While Soludo is declaring the liability he inherited, let him also declare assets he equally inherited. Let the discerning public juxtapose the Assets and Liabilities and be the judge themselves.

The EFCC ordeal of Willie Obiano is a political issue with those he stepped on their toes while in line of service and governance of our dear Anambra State.

Dr. Willie Obiano was rather an introvert who seldom discuss issues and challenges in public media. He would instead take the blames of another’s wrong and shortcoming. If he was an extrovert and microphone friendly, the narratives wouldn’t have been the same, but then, I won’t blame him for things he had no control over.

Willie Obiano deserves commendation not condemnation.

I can't remember where (Vote Obiano) is written in the post.
This is a documentary of a job well done.

Its not a documentary, its more like a campaign or comparison to Obi esp as Obi remained uninvited or untouched by antigraft agencies.

I guess its driven by his EFCC invites.

You said so my dear.

Obiano effect in Awka.

How Obiano leveled hills to touch a dream. Anambra Airport.

Obiano built Anambra NYSC permanent orientation camp Mbaukwu/Umuawulu, Awka south.
Apart from the fact that Obiano pays Corpers N10,000 monthly, he has change the NYSC narrative in Anambra. Today it's a dream of every corps member (Including Anambra indigenes) to camp/ serve in Anambra because of the conducive environment provided by Willie Obiano.

Today Anambra is one of the states that host highest number of Corpers ranging from 5000+ in each batch, 2500+ in each stream respectively.

Before now the ordeal of Anambra corps member getting to the old orientation camp was a very unpleasant one. Apart from the fact that the old camp ground is in the middle of a thick forest; the road leading to the camp is not accessible coupled with the fact that Umunya axis of Enugu/Onitsha expressway is not motorable. Even though Obiano's predecessor was so close to Johnathan led FG, yet he could not get them to fix the road which (I land) has now been fixed by Buhari led FG under Obiano's watch.

Obiano knowing that Anambra is surrounded by rivers.... did not leave the Navy behind in his fight to protect life, property and provide enabling environment for Ndi-Anambra and investors.

Rural roads.

I wonder why nobody talks about Obiano's mighty achievements in lighting up almost every road in Anambra state! He installed functional street lights in both the roads he built and the old roads built by all previous governments. His light-up Anambra project was really a novel success that every community in the state has at least one or two major roads leading there with functional street lights!

I totally appreciate your work. I especially respect this thread because it documents all Obiano's works for posterity.

It is very disheartening when some Anambra people are deceived by non-NdiAnambra to hate one of our most transformative leaders. In their mind, they think those brainwashing them are doing so just against Obaino as a political strategy against APGA, but the real agenda is to keep Anambra in its entirety down as a dysfunctional archaic state so their states would catch up. But God pass them. Many more Anambrarians are smelling the coffee and seeing the game that is truly going on.

What really got me was that the same people arguing to hell why Anambra needs poverty alleviation and does not need an airport, turning around and praising the Ebonyi airport being built by a governor has not addressed any bit of even greater shameful poverty level in Ebonyi state! You wonder what their anti-Anambra agenda was really about!

Thank you very much for this thread! Keep up the good work.

You said it all brother. While we look forward to a greater Anambra we must not fail to appreciate Obiano for the sacrifices he made (Including the just concluded election that brought Soludo to power) for the common good of the state.

Nice observation. We are taking it step by step. I promise you we will touch all sectors simultaneously.

Willie Obiano administration does not just sanction project without planes for maintenance. While Obiano sign MOU with contractors, he equally sign maintenance agreement for the particular project be it street light or capital project because he knows that accident/emergency will always come up. Agulu Lake resort is a very good example...
