RexTramadol1:
If you get a job due to your competence, and you did the job satisfactorily


You’re not indebted to anyone.

That's a job not an appointment

symbianDON:
helped in what way please?? Is Tinubu bigger than Nigeria?

Do you even know how much it cost to run National campaign advertisement on National Newspapers, Television stations?!

Do you know the cost of logistics and hotels to incured during campaigns?!

What of cost of bribing the delegates and voters just to vote a man who lost his very own poling unit

You think all that is cheap?! And after getting that power the next thing to do is to use that very same power to contest against your benefactor

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

*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.

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.

Do you want to see Peter Obi run for the office of the President?

If this is all what Peter achieved in 8 years earning 100 of billions in allocation then he isn't worthy of being a President..

Yeye Bello and Ortom have more projects than this

symbianDON:
It's only God who elevates using people. Tinubu is not God. Stop making him look like one. The tinubu you are talking about was equally made by people. Declaring for Presidency DOES NOT qualify Osinbajo as a traitor. By the way, even if he didn't declare, there are no clear cut assurances that Tinubu will ever become President of Nigeria!

You sound like a betrayer too

Someone helped you then you turn around and say it was God who helped you and not your helper...

Even God hates ungrateful people

Nigerians and their love for wasting space

You inspected it before making deposit, the pricelist clearly shows its a single bed premium room


.

This one don dey plan on how to borrow sef


.

.

Is Emir of Dutshe going to vote at APC primaries

Pastor Osinbajo has declared yet it's still Bola Ahmed Tinubu that is trending on all social media sites.... What a wawu!!!

If you love pastor Osinbajo kindly support him rather than create enemies for him

Bola Ahmed Tinubu made Osinbajo his lawyer from a common Lawyer and lecturer, he made him a commissioner of Lagos State even as a Nobody from Ogun State, he still made him Vice President single handedly financing him twice... For 20 years Tinubu has helped with his resources now He needs support for his ambition, and you decided to contest against him and even ask your online minions to insult your helper


In this life never expect people to pay your good deeds and kindness back, just do it for God


.

Areaboy2:
your bigotry knows no bounds.
People like you deserve that rotten country the way it is.

And let God punish the false accuser if my post doesn't contain any bigotry or ethnicity as you wrongly accused me this early morning

For educational purposes and the sake of enlightenment on his eligibility can one of Peter Obi's supporters kindly mentions Peter Peter Obi's achievements and Legacy projects for 8 years governing Anambra State

What are his Land Mark achievements
Where are his Legacy projects


.

No point arguing... Osinbajo a Southern Christian can't win core North dominated by Muslims...

To a Muslim fanatic and extremist a woman has a better chance of leading him in prayers or for him to bow and worship an idol than for an "Infidel" to be their ruler

Goodluck Jonathan was rejected with every blood in their veins even when he concentrated all his projects up North neglecting his own home state

Even the cozy Islamic schools built with modern facilities got rejected because to them an "infidel" built it


.

ChoCho54:
Abii? Every abuoki with him kettle

Every abobaku with him king

All man to. Him tent


Let Osinbajo's online minions come and defend their master

Kilode... You wrote a Bible over Prof Osinbajo who probably has no beef with Tinubu... Does Tinubu look like he gives a Fvck

Aregbesola tried, Fayemi tried, now Osinbajo is trying his luck..

The truth is only God can make someone the King maker or the King not man


.

4words:
See how empty the whole place is. Senate and just a handful came.

Even the camera man tried to get perfect angle to make it look like the whole place is filled up. Funny bunch.

Go compare Tinubu's meeting pictures with the senate to this charade.

He even had to force a picture with 4 southwest senator. Just 4 ... see this joker.

Anyways all I know is let the man that has sown reap and let the man that hasn't sown get ripped. The judas shall hang

Fake pastor.

#PastorTheJudas

Bro no follow them drag this issue

We for Tinubu camp don't roll that way .

They have declared , yet they still won't let Tinubu's name rest

Tinubu this, Tinubu that

Tinubu has never lost his ward, Local Government, Senatorial district, State , since 1993 when he joined partisan politics 30 years ago

Osinbajo has lost his Poling Unit in Lekki Lagos and Asokoro Aso Rock aguda house residence twice

All thanks to Femi Gbajabiamila's addition to our electoral laws

Fufu eneida still dey lie about

Lol, I hardly hear of father inlaw having issues with daughter inlaw. It's always mother inlaw VS daughter inlaw. The future is really female

Women supporting women.. lol
