I Inherited N127bn Debt From Obi
- Governor Obiano

18th October 2017

By Obiora Aghadinuno

The governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has revealed that contrary to the sanctimonious posturing of his predecessor, former Governor Peter Obi, the state was saddled with a huge domestic debt of N127 billion when heleft office in March 2014.
Speaking in the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, Governor Obiano explained that his silence over the debt his predecessor sought to tie his hands with had been mainly because he did not want to allow his regime to be distracted at inception. He explained that he wanted to concentrate on the delivering his promise of good governance to Ndi Anambra.
According to him, the N127 billion debt came mostly from the 101 road contracts that the former governor hurriedly awarded at the dying minutes of his regime without making any provision whatsoever for them in order to create probles for his administration from the very first day.
Obiano listed other disingenuous designs by his predecessor to make sure that his regime never really took off. He mentioned the last minute employment of 6000 workers without provision for their welfare as well as the various hotels and independent power projects which he had no plans to complete.
He however revealed that he has quietly completed 51 out of the 101 roads and assured Ndi Anambra that the remaining 50 would soon be completed.
Obiano’s revelation came on the heels of the growing inconsistencies in the figures being thrown up by Obi which have left many discerning observers wondering just how much the former governor actually left behind.
They point at Obi’s sudden volte-face from his earlier declaration that he handed N75 billion cash to his successor and his declaration at the flag off of the PDP campaign in Onitsha yesterday that the actual amount he handed over was N48,626 billion.
While delivering an address that has been mostly cdismissed by political analysts as suicidal, Obi was caught on camera saying “when I was leaving this place, we left in savings N26bn. We set aside for important projects, N23,629 billion. If you put the two together, it will come to N48, 626 billion.”
The former governor’s contradictory accounts of the exact amount he bequeathed his successor leaves huge gaps in the emerging narrative of dubious accountability and an even more doubtful integrity.
This becomes more so in the light of the revelation that in Obi’s so called N75 billion handover are embedded all manner of moribund and toxic assets which he cleverly reported as profitable investments in the handover note.
For instance, Obi’s reportage of the 16.5% equity stake in emenite, a fibre cement roof and ceiling manufacturing company set up by the premier of the old Eastern Region, Dr M.I. Okpara, which was shared between the five states that made up the as part of the trumpeted investments he had handed over to Obiano is nothing but pure fraud.
Observers also complained that it speaks volumes about Obi’s vaunted integrity to realize that he also reported that he had invested the sum of N3.5 billion in Interfact Beverages Limited, when in reality what he invested was N1.4 billion only. This followed Obiano’s announcement that his administration would soon revise the discrepancy to reflect the actual equity stake of the state in the company.
Other dead bodies buried in Obi’s handover note include the N9 billion involuntary investment in the Nigerian Independent Power Project, conceived in 2004 by the Obasanjo regime which the Federation Account was charged to fund on behalf of the 36 states. One wonders how this investment could have found its way into Obi’s phantom savings that he handed over to Obiano in cash.
Other components of Obi’s “famous” N75 billion cash handover include the N4 billion estimated value of the land resources of Anambra State on which the oil installations of Orient Petroleum Resources stands which he “cleverly” converted into the state’s shareholding in Orient Petroleum Plc and quickly reported as his own wise investment while in actuality, the only investment in the company when Obi handed over was the N100 million invested by former governor Chris Ngige who also issued the C of O for the land.
Another embarrassing falsehood reported as part of the N75 billion cash handover is the Federal Government refund to Anambra State on the repair of federal roads in the state which stood at N10 billion during Obi’s regime.
It smacks of utter mischief to report this debt owed the state by the Federal Government as a part of the cash handover as the Federal Government has yet to clear the debt while the Obiano regime has responded to more distress calls on federal roads in the state, pushing the debt overhang now to N43.8 billion to date.
Indeed, Obi’s ill-advised decision to speak up on the actual amount he left his successor has blown up on the faces of his admirers who cringe at the embarrassing inconsistencies in his accounts which  now dangles between N75 billion and N48,626 billion.
At this rate, many political observers bet that Obi may not have any reputational capital left by the end of the current electoral campaign in Anambra State.

 

lie lie people

Useless party with no structure

This is inside uniben. Uniben is not in Egor LG. But ovia south east.

Slowly he is gaining ground, those who call his supporters social media supporters will be surprised the level of momentum his support is gaining, one thing with obi's supporters is that they are genuine ,patriotic and passionate about the progress of this entity called Nigeria. Same cannot be said about the rest.

Movement! The most talked about man of the moment.

This is the 1000th thread opened in Obi's name today.

The ewedu and gbegiri munching apes won't sleep this night

How do I join this party in Benin City?

My friend go and sit in one corner joor! OBI FOR LIFE! Go and drink Kool-aid

Taking back our Country...

Vote Peter Obi for President

EmekaMD:
Truth is this election would have been a walkover for Labour Party and Peter Obi if West, East, Southsouth and North Central was the only parts voting. But you see we have a large chunk of Nigerians who live in the core and they are lagrely uneducated. They have no idea what it means to dream for a better life. For them its religion first and so they are easily manipulated by whatever an Iman and one Alhaji told them.
Those are the people who we must find a way to sensitize.

Speak to them in Hausa and Fulfude and whatever languages they understand. Tell them their lives could be better if they make a better choice.

Even in se obi can't win

If Peter obi won the Presidency, he will still decamp to PDP......he had done it before....Dis guys are just wasting deir time

Please, I'm Obi dently begging for you guys to come to Bayelsa state.

At this rate, many political observers bet that Obi may not have any reputational capital left by the end of the current electoral campaign in Anambra State.

 

Two things are involved, It is either you go and verify or you go and drink acid

ArcSEMPECJ:


If PETER OBI left a debt of N127Billion in Anambra State before Willie took over,.....by now , Anambra State won't be able to even pay a gate man in a local Govt.

We can't continue to read nonsense all in the name of Politics....

Brush off your ego and follow what is right

May Almighty Baba God prevent me from following a man like His Excellency Peter Obi as inspiration, Amen. Soludo, Yes; Nwabueze, Yes; Umahi, Yes; Laz Ekwueme, Yes; Pete Edochie, Yes; and countless other Igbo Greats. But Obi? Mbanu!

Wow!

alsudan:
Obi will sweep the SS, man is contesting against himself.

The Obi Tsunami is massive and has even swallowed the Twin Thieves Atiku and Tinubu, that no one remembers they’re contesting.

Please less pray for Nigeria
