Are you in Nigeria at all? How many times would they list his achievement for you guys?

Achievement in securing lives and property, foreign relation achievement, achievement in the education sector, massive infrastructure built through out Anambra and many more.


Make sure you visit this threads and view second page too.

If you still not satisfied then drop your Twitter handle let me bombard you with his achievements.

Peter Obi is not the type that summon the whole of a village if he wants to commission his project because he belove his work will speak for him.

Vote Peter Obi Chief it's something you will never regret.
There is no Governor today that doesn't have any achievement. Even the worse Governor has achievements.

So I ask you again.. How was his State after his tenure compared with other States with similar revenue and allocation?
Was the health sector the best in the East after his tenure?
Was Anambra infrastructures the best in the East after his tenure?
Was education the best in the East after his tenure?
Was Anambra IGR the best in the East after his tenure?

So what extraordinary thing did he do as a Governor that makes him better than Tinubu or Kwankwaso?

Only Tinubu increasing the IGR of Lagos from N600 million to N12 billion before he left office dwarfs all Peter Obi records combined.

How far alternative to tollgate roads? Those were "promised" as well.

Not just that.
The railway Buhari is building to Niger is to be connected to this Lekki seaport through the Lagos-Ibadan, Ibadan-Kano and Kano-Maradi rail.

Niger is a landlocked country and they import and export things through other coastal countries and not through Nigeria. So with this, Buhari is linking the railway all the way to Kano and then to Niger (read about the Lagos-Kano-Jibiya or LAKAJI corridor). That way, Niger would import and export through Lekki seaport making it more viable and boost FG revenues through export and import duties and taxes.

And he's also doing similar thing in the East by linking Bonny port in PH to maiduguri for the same reason.

So linking the port to "Epe or Ijebu Ode…routing and hauling containers through the streets of Ajah, Ikoyi, Obalende, Victoria Island, Lagos Island" is just a small part of the game.
Many miss the point here:

1. There are plans for The fourth mainland bridge, another coastal highway which will link Victoria Island to the Lekki Deep Sea port and beyond up to Ondo state — This is unofficial but expected to further ease the use of the Lekki-Epe expressway. Let’s not forget that cargoes will still be moved by sea from the port enroute the ocean to ports like Port-harcourt and Apapa. It is visionary.

2. For the announcement, it is probably a strategic move in Investing. Now that the port is launched, investors who want to collaborate with the state government in PPP would see it as an opportunity, Lagos isn’t going to commit all the funds estimated for the project here. Investors mostly will.

Facts straight.
