Alusi Okija: Your first problem is that you are from IMO STATE.

You guys in that state have been so a'nally r'aped that if your governor decides to paint all the roads red, you would count it as development. When you spoke about Akwa Ibom was when I realized you had lost the plot of governance. The job of the government is to build roads, provide security, basic amenities (healthcare, water & electricity) and take care of the economy of the state by making the state business friendly (either by special tax breaks to companies or other such incentives).

Akwa Ibom state governor has pushed his state way ahead of its time. He has startegically positioned his state to accomodate the growth he is anticipating. He has invested in superb roads, mapped out streets and is opening up new areas, is one of the few states investing in energy generation (like Rivers State) so soon enough, they would be self sufficient in electricity and then all he has to do is find a way to make the state as safe as possible (although this is a function of the federal government and is barely within his control)... Also he has invested in education both locally and internationally by sending QUALIFIED Akwa Ibomites abroad to further their studies, refubrishing the local schools as well. I dont know how much he has done in Agriculture but Akwa Ibom state is on the right path. This done, sit back and watch that state breakout. They have proximity to River State and Calabar ports so business would be good for importers. They also have a good airport with actual daily flights so go figure... Soon, people would appreciate what he has done. Do you think a factory would want to be in a state where the roads are bad, the electricity is a mess and the security is poor or in one that has all these?!


Industries are good, but basic amenities remain the priority of the government.

Odenigbo Aroli: Did any of the contestants reject the results ? I dont think so. That election was one of the most free and fairest election since 1996 presidential elections. Peter Obi is a man of integrity and the record is there to speak for its self. I have realized that your disdain for Peter knows no bound; reason? I dont know. Leave peter obi alone,Abagworo! He is the best thing that has happened to Anambra since its creation. He is not the kind of governor that embarks on white elephant projects that will take eternity to finish,he rather focuses on the most basic infrastructural needs of the state. People will not see the good work of this man until he leaves the office. He has made the foundation for Anambra to grow on and even most these governorship aspirants and the former governors of the state attested to that.
