Peter Obi Left #75 Billion To Obiano, But Obiano Left Soludo Billions Of Debt In by Traplord09: 12:21pm On Mar 23, 2022 |
Governance is actually a difficult task, both for the governor and the governed. Transition of power is also another situation, especially in democratic systems. One administration may actually struggle to make a state better, only for the successor to liquidate and lavish every effort of the predecessor. This may be the situation in Anambra State now. Just today, the recently sworn in governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, told Arise TV News that Obiano left debts that are running in billions of Naira, with just 300 million naira in cash. Soludo actually lamented, as he told Arise TV that he doesn't want to talk about Anambra treasury because it is pathetic. Now, below is the exact statement of the former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, as published by the Tribune on the 20th of September 2017. "I left over N25 billion in cash at the banks, and I left $156 million in the bank in Nigeria. Do you think anybody can leave such money and then go to tell the person he’s handing over to give him N7 billion, when I left over N75 billion?" Just few hours after Chief Willie Obiano handed over power to the new governor, Chukuma Soludo, men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arrested Obiano as he was about to leave the country Let me make it clear. Since 1999 Nigeria returned to the current democratic dispensation, the case of Chief Willie Obiano is actually the first situation in which an Igbo governor handed over power and was arrested the same day for corruption. There is a practical case at hand. Why would your predecessor leave 75 Billion Naira cash for you, and it gets to your turn, you left only 300 million naira cash and billions of Naira Debt 1 Like 2 Shares

I believe extravagant spendings, white elephant projects and inflation of contracts are the major factors responsible for for high indebtness of Nigerian states by their respective governors. For example, projects design, mobilisation and execution in Nigeria cost higher than any other part of Africa going by currency conversion rate. An attempt to get fat kick back from contractors is the bane of mass indebtness we are facing. I believe financial prudence and discipline in contact awarding we're factors that helped Peter Obi to save such a huge amount as a governor. 6 Likes |

The interesting thing is that he could not reside for at least 24hours in a state he claimed to have improved for 8years. He was rather running with marathon speed to the USA. That debt burden, no matter how u place it at par with his projects is unjustifiable. 7 Likes |

Obiano I believe may have recklessly spent the money in worthless things which is very bad of him and I believe that his wife played a wrong path in his administration. What went wrong I don't know but this is very bad of him. If he is found guilty of embezzlement, he should be dealt with accordingly with no mercy. Politicians are wicked shaa |

Firstly, it was a lie that Peter Obi left 75billion, Obiano already trashed that lies back then. Even victor Umeh confirmed it. The handover letter headed showing 75billion doesn’t justify anything. Any governor can write any nonsense on the handover notes. Secondly, for the sake of argument let’s agree Obi left 75billion. How can any sane economist and governor with foresight leave only raw cash without legacy infrastructural & economical projects? Why can’t Peter Obi use that part of the money to build infrastructure, world class hospitals, boost SMEs and make Anambra GDP one of the highest, and etc? He did nothing of sort, he only said he left money for the next government. This is why Obi is daft. In politics, you can never know the mind of your successor, he can just squander all the money you save and your state will go back to square one. But if you build infrastructure and economically viable systems, your successor cannot steal roads and hospitals. Lastly, even tho Obiano might have spent so much, at least he has an airport to his name and Anambra is in a better place at least compared to most of other states. What exactly is Obi Pandora legacy project that we can point to currently? 3 Likes |

nzeobi: We have the state finance record under Peter Obi and I did not see anything spectacular about that. If your theory about investment inflow during Obi’s tenure is right then why did Anambra state IGR remained almost stagnant during Peter Obi’s reign? Even Ngige performed better IGR wise during his short reign. Also, the low debt during Peter Obi tenure is due to the Paris loan forgiveness during that time and if Obiano had enjoyed the same thing maybe the loan would have been lesser too. The accountant general himself admitted this during Obi’s tenure. Under the same Peter Obi, doctors strike for almost 13months and workers protested unpaid 36 month arrears.

nzeobi: I don’t need to be in Anambra to know so much about the state considering the fact that there are numerous sources that can tell us what’s up. EFCC will do nothing to Obiano, they will release him and life will be back to normal. Forget all this noise currently, na just format. If Peter Obi performance is so stellar, we will all see it. Abi can you point me to the world class hospital he built in Anambra that set him apart from other governors? Can you tell me the transportation model he built in Anambra that set him apart from other governors? Can you tell us the legacy infrastructure he left in Anambra that can make us think of him a messiah? Can you tell us the economic model/ human development he structured in Anambra that can made the state the highest in terms of investment, startups, MSME and revenue per capital compared to other governors? Beside coming online to project himself as a prudent spender, what else is his achievement?

Peter Obi is being very economical with the truth! Sometimes when one hears Peter Obi and his online urchins try to twist the truth, it gets you somewhat annoyed as to "do they think we are brain dead"? What Peter Obi isn't saying is that at the twilight of his administration, he also flagged off the construction of 43 new roads, Employed 10,000 more civil servants, a long list of abandoned road projects that had been going on for more than 5 years in his tenure, and abandoned huge capital-intensive projects such as Onitsha mall, Agulu Lake Hotel, Onitsha hotel, Ikenga mall etc. It's sad when some politicians act like we were born yesterday or too daft to have forgotten what happened just 8 years ago! 1 Like 1 Share |

LegendHero: He is the only governor in anambra till date who made genuine investments in health and education and patronizing locally manufactured goods ask innoson. During his tenure orient refinery started immidiately oil was discovered in commercial quantity in anambra but that stop under obiano. Innoson got where he is today cos of Peter. All schools were renovated and all secondary schools got at least a brand new commercial bus, computers and laboratory and this includes registered private schools. Building of teaching hospital and renovating all hospital including those owned by the mission. Under him anambra had the best road nertworks. Salaries, pension and gratuities were paid as at when due but now gratuities have not been paid since 2017. Appointing only those who have something to offer in government unlike Willie that have about 3000 SA & SSA Let me stop here but if you say Willie is better may Willie happen to your life and Peter Obi happen to me 3 Likes |

The confession by Prof Soludo today at Arise Television simply
means that the likes of Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy even Obi
Cubana has more liquid cash than my state, Anambra!
Tomorrow, one man from nowhere will open his mouth to tell
you that Buhari and Fulani are the real problem behind the
underdevelopment in South East and many gullible youths will
buy and start selling the lies, going about abusing other tribes in
Nigeria! I have said it and will keep saying it, our problem in
South East region has never been Fulani or caused by any
president from northern extraction, rather our problem has been
our leaders and their followers. Imagine people tagging a man
that squandered billions of naira a good man because they
benefitted from the loot and tomorrow they will start pointing
accusing fingers at Buhari and Fulani tribe Our problem in south
east is home grown and we need a home based solution to
solve the problem |

nzeobi: What is the result of the investment in health for example? Which hospital did he built that’s different from what other states governors built? Can you please share one of those hospitals so we can see how it look and what kind of medical instruments they have within their edifice and the ranking in delivering quality healthcare? Don’t just say things, present evidence. Nearly most governors patronize local goods so I don’t know why you think this is an achievement. Dapo Abiodun support local Adire by wearing them just like Soludo is doing with Akwete now. Lagos government patronize JAC vehicles and etc. what’s spectacular about that? During his tenure orient refinery started immidiately oil was discovered in commercial quantity in anambra but that stop under obiano.Oh so Obiano stopped Orient Energy? Can you present evidence to back the fact? Don’t just say stuffs, give us proof. Innoson got to where he is today because the FG give him access to finance through bank of industry, he admitted it himself. Go and Google where his finances came from and who are his major customer and you will see it’s the same FG. All schools were renovated and all secondary schools got at least a brand new commercial bus, computers and laboratory and this includes registered private schools.All schools renovated? Even Borno governor and other states governor did the same by busing buses, computers, and registration of new private schools. What’s spectacular about that? I though ya’ll claim Obi is the best thing to ever happen: Why is he better than other state governors because they did exactly something like this. Infact in some states, they not only renovate schools, they build mega schools and Obi never did any of those. Building of teaching hospital and renovating all hospital including those owned by the mission. Lol the same Obi that owed over 30month the salary arrears during his period and the same man who watch as doctors strike for over 13months is who you are capping about? So the above is what Peter Obi did and is the reason why y’all have been shouting he’s the best since slice bread? You are all jokers. 3 Likes

The simple reason people have been so annoyed with Peter Obi and his online crew's attempt to tarnish Obiano's image is because Obiano really worked and transformed the state! Peter Obi took Anambra's money and invested part of them as his own shares in interfract breweries of South Africa. Yet, nobody is even talking about it. By the way, we know Peter Obi NEVER completed any major project in Anambra. He claimed he "invested" the money into dubious ventures. Why can't he come out and list these "investments" he made for the state instead of building infrastructure that Obiano had to do because he failed? 2 Likes 1 Share |
