We can all remember the funny days of Peter Obi as governor. grin grin

One day while he was scrutinising the accounts of the state, he saw that he has been signing for one whole cow to be paid for in the expenses of the state House, so he called in the officials responsible for the expenses.

The governor asked them why they are paying for one cow everyday, they replied that it was for the entertainment of guests in the government lodge. Peter was furious, he queried them how they could be consuming one whole cow daily? Who really eats the whole meat?

He later ordered that they go out everyday and buy #10,000 meat from the butchers, he cancelled a cow a day routine and saved the money for Anambra state.

Peter Obi hates wasting money.

Unlike one cocaine lover we know.... He would have shut down his State, ordered his chief of tout, MC Oluomo to forcefully collect Owó Mi da from motorist.... Use the proceeds to hire Funji Star, Wasiu, then collect billions of Naira with his bullion van for Owambé.

Yes,but most of his haters uuse propaganda that his is stingy.but the truth is that obi is just prudent with money.
His rich dad really schooled him well on money works.
Also obi is too humble,a typical anambra man that will have it all and yet still behave as if he is a boy boy.

Peter Obi saved money for Anambra state through a variety of ways, he refused to approve for some frivolous expenses, most of the stories you hear of people painting Obi is black colours are those he frustrated from stealing Anambra state government money.

Peter Obi will do anything to save money, including paying for some stuff directly, because the people who hang around the government will inflate every expenses to x 20 of the real price. Peter Obi stopped all those losses, and the state suddenly had enough money to do projects, and then saved the rest.

OP let me give you my own funny experience when Obi was Governor .

Obi, in a quest to save money, banned the use of paper memos, letters and circulars from his office and instead ordered all his commissioners, permsecs and other govt appointees to open an email account to receive said letters. This was after he found out the state govt spends #2bn annually on stationeries.

To further save money , Obi got James Nwafor to dispose off armed robbery and kidnapping suspects so as to save money huge legal fees in prosecuting cases.

When Peter Obi became governor, he was new to Nigerian politics as he had never held any political position in his life before.

So he was shocked at how much money was being misappropriated. Up to 20 people accompanied him on his first visit to Abuja to sign the state money, and yet only him went for the real business of signing the money. When he asked why they all had to follow him, collect allowances, pay for flights and pay for hotel accommodation, they told him its the practice over the years.

The man became mad, Peter Obi got angry because if this is your own business, will you spend money like this?

He promptly reduced the travelling team to 3 persons only, saving millions of naira on every trip to Abuja. Peter Obi is not an ordinary man that follows wrong protocols, he will change things to make Nigeria save enough money that we all will become citizens of a rich nation. There will be enough money to pay for all salaries and wages, take up new contracts and even plan to diversify the economy. Peter Obi will return our respect back to us.

I will be back with more stories.

This is a lie, governors don't control the police in any part of the country. The police is a federal government establishment that takes their orders from Abuja.

Peter Obi didn't become a Workaholic in this year's presidential elections, he had been like this from his teenage years.

When Peter Obi was the governor, he was the master of unscheduled visits to every kind of government and non governmental establishments. Peter may turn up to a school at exactly the resumption time, monitor the whole procedure of starting the day and make recommendations about how to get things done in a better way.

All government workers were terrified of Peter Obi, he may walk into your office unannounced, follow you to do some work, and demand answers to some questions on the ground.

He always sleeps in the local government areas he will choose to visit on that day, attending to all issues, meeting local people, answering questions as well as asking his own questions. He can walk into a flooded street, descend into an erosion site, measure and ongoing road construction, have lunch with farmers in their farms.

Peter Obi was everywhere at the same time.

Peter Obi will make the whole Nigerian people to appreciate the government and love their leaders more, he will ensure that common people trust the government process again, and cooperate to ensure a fast rising Nigeria where every citizen matter.

Yes, when the powers he came to fight wanted to give him a bad name by frustrating his efforts, but as soon as he cleared their doubts and got firm control, salaries were paid even before the 25th of every month.

Peter Obi met a disorganised state when he became governor, and as a rank outsider, a non politician, he faced fierce opposition from the PDP former henchmen in the state. They all underrated him, and tried to put him in a corner. Peter Obi took them all up and kicked them to the kerb, taking control of the state to everyone's surprise.

What happened next was chaotic, numerous stakeholders who felt cheated out despite the amounts they invested in the party came out with their guns blazing, but Peter Obi was defiant. He swore to work for the masses, not the billionaires. The cabals set up bodies inside the government to frusttrate every process, derail every programme and cause problems and disaffection inside the government. Yet Peter stood his ground and fought them with everything he had in him.

Propaganda Mills were installed, fake news were peddled against the governor, people were encouraged to go on strike to destroy the government, others were paid to reveal lies and called them truths, the results of those bitter Propaganda is what we are seeing online being showed by miscreants today as their proof that Peter Obi was a bad governor. But it didn't stop Peter Obi.

They even planned and impeached Peter Obi, fought him in courts and everywhere else, even using the church to fight him, Peter Obi remained resolute and firm, he continued to divert money budgeted for looting to productive ventures and investments.

After Peter Obi won in the courts, some people got tired of fighting him, and switched to his side. They now joined forces with him having seen him as a strong man, they worked with him and grew the fortunes of Anambra state to become one of the best states in Nigeria.

Are you for real?

Nwafor's SARS is under judiciary oversight by the Anambra State judiciary and office of the Attorney General who had the powers to inspect without notice all detention facilities and inquire when arrests where made and why the cases were yet to be charged to court.

The police does not have the powers of arbitrary detention more than 24hrs unless granted by a state criminal high court otherwise.

Obi had it in his powers to shut down Nwafor and his murderous SARS division.

Obi can not claim ignorance of the extra judicial murders , rapes , extortions and tortures carried out by Nwafor as both civil society groups , individuals and their relatives who passed through hell or never made it out, had petitioned Obi.

What could obi have done you say?

Well he would have ordered a judiciary inquiry into the activities of the Akwuzu SARS or even petitioned the IGP to investigate Nwafor but instead obi did nothing and waved aside the hundreds of petitions that flooded his desk.

The man obi enabled Nwafor . This is the sordid truth about Obi
