Atiku used him, used delta state money to pursue his endless presidential dream, thank God no South east or south south money is available to him now. very useless governor and idiot man.

And when you know it, you will run away as usual.

The greatest Governors are remembered for what they built,not what they stored away.That is why many people still remember the legacy of Sam Mbakwe decades later. Governors are not elected to be accountants but builders.
--Chioma Amaryllis Ahaghotu

The job of a state governor is very similar to that of a CEO. A CEO is not hired to sit on cash; a CEO is hired to grow the company. If a CEO spends four years proudly announcing that he saved money while competitors expanded, built factories, entered new markets, increased production, created jobs, and grew revenue, shareholders would remove him. Why? Because money is a tool, not the end goal.

The same principle applies to governance. A governor's primary responsibility is not to keep money in a vault. A governor's job is to grow the state's economy, attract investment, create jobs, improve infrastructure, increase internally generated revenue, and leave behind assets that continue producing value long after leaving office.

The equivalent of profit in governance is economic growth. Increasing the GDP of a state should be one of the major objectives of any governor. That means building roads that connect markets, developing industrial parks that attract manufacturers, creating agricultural processing centers that add value to farm produce, investing in tourism infrastructure that attracts visitors, establishing technology hubs that create high-paying jobs, and building modern transportation systems that improve productivity. These are investments, and investments cost money.

No serious CEO says, "I saved all the company's money and built nothing." Imagine visiting a state after four or eight years and the biggest achievement people can point to is an account balance buried somewhere in a government report. Citizens do not live inside spreadsheets, budget documents, or quarterly reports. People experience governance physically. They see roads and bridges, hospitals, schools, industrial clusters, airports, water systems, housing developments, public transportation, markets, and thriving economic activity. Those are the things that improve daily life.

A governor should leave fingerprints on the landscape of the state. The evidence of governance should not require citizens to search through audit reports, government websites, or budget documents. It should be visible from the moment someone enters the state.

The greatest governors are remembered for what they built, not what they stored away. That is why many people still remember the legacy of Sam Mbakwe decades later. We do not remember him because he saved money. We remember him because of the roads, institutions, and numerous projects that were built before many of us were even born and are still standing today.

Nobody visits a state and says, "Wow, look at that savings account." People point at a bridge, a rail line, an industrial estate, a university, a modern hospital, a thriving city center, or an airport. These are tangible assets that continue creating wealth years and even decades after a governor has left office.

Of course, reckless spending is bad governance, and nobody is advocating waste. However, there is a significant difference between wasteful spending and productive investment. Borrowing money to pay salaries is not the same as borrowing money to build infrastructure that expands economic activity and generates future revenue. Spending billions on political patronage is not the same as spending billions on projects that increase productivity and attract private investment.

The question should never be whether a governor spent money or saved money. The real question is what the governor spent the money on and what return the state received from that investment.

At the end of the day, governors are not elected to be accountants. They are elected to be builders. And history remembers builders.

we don't need a president that will keep our money in a bank and called it achievement.peter obi is a disaster.

mbape is the biggest loser, sometimes don't look down on anybody, be patient and you will eventually win big.

my own interest is to see how greedy Peter Obi and his mistress Aisha yesufu will corner Igbo people donations as they did with labour. let's see how they will control greedy Dickson and kwamkwaso to pocket all the donations.

sweerychick:
Fubara should go and rest he has tried, but unfortunately he started what he couldn't finish, you picked up a fight with your superior, what do you expect? You should have played low key, and waited till second term.

he was in a hurry to become oga, ungrateful human being.

Empresa:
Alex Otti is playing a dangerous game.

He knows the Igbos don't like APC and APC may not sell in Abia State so decides to use Tinubu to patch up.

But he forgets that Obi was the only reason he won in Abia, now without Obi he needs massive votes else APC will steal the Guber house under his nose.

How is he popular without Obi because Obi will be coming to Abia under ADC with another candidate and the ever power hungry APC are watching very closely. Abia will be interesting in the coming days.

the candidate obi supported in Anambra governorship election did he win soludo, the one he supports in abuja did he win. obi is a daft.

sanwo olu will simply team with Ambode, they will defeat hamzat.

Na the party membership registration go give you right under the new electoral law to go party primaries to cast your vote as a delegate under law for your preferred candidates to become party flagbearer.


If #Obidients turn up in their numbers with their registration, they can force ADC to field him (Obi) through the ballot.

keep dreaming.

BrickandLace:
Which house ?

Galactics:
Then there won't be any election in 2027 and there won't be anyone occupying the Aso rock. This is the height of tyranny. Nigerians won't accept this.

canada123:
just out of curiosity are you married cause 300k food stuff a month wont comfortably feed 2 persons a month . remember the OP is asking how much to live comfortably in a month, key word is to be comfortable and not to suffer

Just mention what you want to buy that can't feed a family of 2 for 1month. unless you are a gluttony.

people that never see 100k, are making mouth , 1million a month to do what, family of 4 can't finish 300k food stuff in a month. people can make mouth sha!

Penisman:
N3M a month is okay. That's just N100k daily.

100k daily ti do what?

Iranian leaders are the most stupid people on earth, any country engaging a world power in a war is marked for doom . go and read the history of Carthage, the Visigoths of France against the Roman empire. America is only using 5% of it's military power.

Burob:
Quite obvious u never make money.

hypocrite, even me, am not as rich as him, and am not a crook, there are somethings i don't price or haggle in the market . he is very stupid yes Peter Obi is very naive.

Naustine:
What if El Rufai got the info from an insider and decided to say he tapped Ribadu's phone instead to protect his source? U think he is that stupid?

soo at his age , he is still a fool,
