INTRODUCTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER MAJOR CHANGES IN NIGERIAN POLITICS

*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his governorship electoral victory that was denied him. He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

The North wants to get back to power as quickly as possible, so settling for less is very crucial to get their support.
Settling for less simply mean how cheap and desperate you are. That should be logical

Thank you for asking. I am doing just fine, and I am also consistently contributing my fair share to the $20 billion that Tinubu receives from the diaspora. I would also like to commend you for maintaining a civil discussion with me this morning.
You are not the only one contributing to the $20bn diaspora money.

Legacies, we have built it
Money making, is with no stress
Supporting/analysing real deal, we are not doing bad

In all, Alhamdulillahi

I supported myself, as you should have done. Earning a PhD at the age of 29 was an investment in myself, and I am profoundly proud of it. It would be foolish to prioritize the interests of others over your own. So, the record you seek is my self-manifestation, with which you are now contending.
I have a legacy of over a decade on Nigeria media space. Please I am not talking about NL oo.

The bottom line is, hope you are making money and having a long time legacies for your born and unborn kids
PoliticsRe: What Bakare Said About Peter Obi by helinues: 12:09pm On Aug 04, 2025
shortgun:
1.Peter Obi won recognition as Best Governor by the MDGs Office ( and UNDP. He attracted major global development partners to the Anambra State.
UNDP, UNICEF, World Bank, DFID, EU .

2.Peter Obi is first and only Nigerian Governor to Be Peer-Reviewed Under SPRM.
He volunteered Anambra State to be the first and only state to undergo the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM)
...a governance assessment tool from the Nigeria Governors' Forum with support from DFID (UK).

No other governor formally subjected his administration to external scrutiny and accountability.



3.Under Peter Obi leadership, Anambra recorded no successful bank robberies in his last three years in office despite being a previously volatile state.
He equipped every village, church, market and community with security vehicles.
This feat was publicly acknowledged by the Inspector General of Police at the time.


4.Peter Obi remains the only governor who used his private car (a Peugeot 406) for official duties for 5 years and refused to take a state convoy.

5. Obi is the only governor who never collected security vote or pension for life.

There's more ohh.....
You didn't bother to read what you are responding to or perhaps you deliberately did that.

The over 100+ increase in state tuition fee, you didn't see that to respond to?

Let's be clear, you can't validate me. We're both gladiators in the political arena. Your poorly remunerated portfolio is to attack and denigrate my candidate every day, while mine, even if unremunerated, is to educate you and others about who Peter Obi is, his legacy and his competence. Therefore, it is inevitable that you and your team will come under my crosshair.
Your own gladiator don't have any records to back yourself up. Or what have you supported in the past that came out of reality?

Stop ducking..

You very well understand my analogy.

Okay if you wish to be spoonfed let me ask you!

If IBOS are made an offer to collect 4 years through Peter Obi in 2027 or wait for 2039 to collect 8; years,

Which should they opt for?
So if all those years would still be contested for, which makes the 4 years not to be certain, why settling for less?

See question wey this one dey ask!

Sure 4 years for Ibos now now or a promise of 8 years in 2039 or 8 years in 2055 which one should they collect?

If someone comes to give you 100,000 dollars today today or a promise of 200,000 dollars next year, which one will you collect?
Which of those years have they been given uncontested?

Peter Obi represents something like a once a lifetime opportunity for the Ibos right now.

Peter Obi is the most liked politician in the country right now, not Tinubu, not Atiku.

In a free and fair contest no politician can defeat Peter Obi today.

If they miss it now, then till 2039 before they can stand any chance..

So like you said, put governance aside, if doing 4 years or promising to do 4 years will make the North more sympathetic to him, then let him do it.
It's all politics!
