1999 to 2007 Tinubu Governed Lagos
2007 to 2014 Obi Governed Anambra

Lagos stopped being Federal Capital over 30 years ago
Anambra became a state over 30 years ago

Lagos was commercial capital of Western region
Onitsha was the cormercial capital of Eastern region for years

Questions would be asked on Education Tinubu paying for WAEC, building Millennium Schools, Reducing LASU tuition

On health care, the Number of primary health care center built even people from neighboring states travel to use Lagos centers

On electricity , Tinubu was the first Governor to build a State owned power plant

Security, Tinubu Started Rapid Response Squad with dedicated toll free number 112

On Transport, Tinubu started LAGBOAT,BRT and Lag Cab

Tinubu paid Highest Salary to workers without ever owing a Kobo

Lagos Atlantic city was a PPP started by Tinubu and the Chaigaoury brothers... This manmade island is about to house best US embassy in Africa


paying Bursary (equal to school fees amount) to indigenes and 200k to first class and 2.1 students


Funny enough Lagos doesn't recieve any special allocation, PDP under Obasanjo withheld Lagos LGA fund yet Tinubu performed

Awolowo did almost every thing for the welfare of Western region, this people still attacked him, calling him all sort of names, Tinubu already knows them

tollyboy5:
He couldn't bring the project to life. MOU governor lol.

Na SCAM be that.

olatuns2017:
It will take your generation to get it right beyond 2023

baretalk:
Tinubu's work is there for all to see, you people are the ones forcing Obi a mediocre down our throats. How many jobs did Obi create for Anambra people?
How did Obi boost IGR of Anambra?

Empty air heads.

Racoon:
The most important thing I wish to add here is that it is to Peter Obi eternal credit that he never made any plea bargain to escape a Chicago heroine drug-running accusation and possible conviction in a US court of competent juridiction unlike a Bola Ahmed Tinubu that was docked for same leading to a forfeiture of a staggering $460, 000 in 1993.

https://guardian.ng/opinion/balablu-blu-blu-bulaba-and-other-incantations/amp

Infact, while Tinubu would claimed he was already out on the streets before everyone else, but then doing drugs, Peter Obi have established his first business venture as an undergraduate in UNN makings his legitimate money while graduating with an undisputable 2nd class lower degree in Philosophy.
This is the ever resilient spirit in an average Igbo man

Winnin009:
God forbid that my father talks to a man that has sold his future for a few change and tribalism. He’ll spit on your face because you’re less than a man.

Clearly, age doesn’t determine wisdom and not all elders deserve respect; you’re of those elders that clearly deserve no respect because you grew foolish as you grew older.


The younger generation is trying to reclaim the nation that your docile foolishness and ineptitude nature along with the other old fools in your set put in shambles.

If you must know, I was born in the 90s. I carried brooms for Fashola; I ran after Tinubu G-guard during the campaigns; so don’t think you know anything better than anyone here.

I’ll ask you the same question I always ask shallow minded, pocket serving, money gobbling individuals like you; Lagos state generates the highest revenue in the nation but still has the highest debt profile by far, why? Where does all the money go?!


Don’t bother, I know you can’t answer. You’ve got nothing up stairs!

EXOUSIAng:
I didn't expect any different.
Despite the fact that the two governors after Obi have on several occasions stated that Obi never left $75M but left debt and Obi has never had the balls to challenge them. These slow pokes who don't even know the road to the government house keep saying otherwise.....
I wasn't expecting any different from "a racoon" anyways.... What else do they do but chew trash

Proudlyngwa:
Oga were we talking politics

Nairalanders self

We were talking infrastructure which boils down to governance

Rapuru14:
Olodo, actually we have gone pass this stage. We are not here to waste time with urchins because all effort is to justify their pay. We are assiduously working with susceptible Nigerians against your lies.
If you still believe that Tifnubu has the interest of the masses than Obi and with a better track record, then go ahead and vote him; who am I to convince a paid urchin working to justify his blood money.

CoronaVirusRelo:
Stop comparing gold with wood!

It’s a ridicule comparing Asiwaju’s accomplishment with that of the political minion called Peter!

When we ask what about what Peter did in 8 years, it’s always saddening to see some unscrupulous lots say, he saved money!

Nothing visible in Anambra for 8 years as a Governor outside loot pipelines being constructed from Anambra State treasury to safe havens. Or they tell you about WAEC result which students individually read for, and try to sound as if Peter invested in their brains. Did Anambra have the best result throughout the 8 years of his administration? Just for one year and they celebrate it like Anambra state won the FIFA World Cup.

Obiano ruled for 8 years and achievements are visible. Ganduje of Kano, Umahi of Ebonyi and Sanwolu of Lagos are reasonable benchmarks to score Peter, and he still does not come close!


On any standards that can be used to judge performance, Peter would score 0 in all.

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

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*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.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

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 States, 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..

Racoon:
See as you are just spitting on this good thread because of lack of evidence to counter the glaring truth. Thank goodness you also acknowledged Peter Obi saved for Anambra. Thank goodness, your warped zombiefied mindset still allows you to agree that Anambra under Peter Obi recorded one of the spectacular performance in WAEC

Nigeria winning the world Cup will definitely be a forever celebration even if it will never win it again son. Winning the Olympic football gold medal in Atlanta-USA in 1996 is still forever itched in our memories till date. That is the feeling with Anambra topping WAEC and JAMB till date.

This are just to mention but if you compare Tinubu tenure to Obi tenure is like comparing heaven and earth, Tinubu is far better than Obi.
But all are not best option for Nigeria, we need someone like Accord party candidate that is professor Chris Imumolen because it's youth o'clock now

Stop comparing gold with wood!

It’s a ridicule comparing Asiwaju’s accomplishment with that of the political minion called Peter!

When we ask what about what Peter did in 8 years, it’s always saddening to see some unscrupulous lots say, he saved money!

Nothing visible in Anambra for 8 years as a Governor outside loot pipelines being constructed from Anambra State treasury to safe havens. Or they tell you about WAEC result which students individually read for, and try to sound as if Peter invested in their brains. Did Anambra have the best result throughout the 8 years of his administration? Just for one year and they celebrate it like Anambra state won the FIFA World Cup.

Obiano ruled for 8 years and achievements are visible. Ganduje of Kano, Umahi of Ebonyi and Sanwolu of Lagos are reasonable benchmarks to score Peter, and he still does not come close!


On any standards that can be used to judge performance, Peter would score 0 in all.

I will rather believe those that has geniue information on the performance of PETER OBI than one urchin from unproductive family... Hahah

Let Anambarians who know Obi as a bad omen and a curse for 8 years talk.
Obi is a calamity that should not happen to any entity talkless of Nigeria that is limping.

Can you imagine how daft Urchins could be?

That his successors with obviously no integrity and inferiority complex talk against him is enough to show you the kind politics Anambra play. They aren't his stooge.

Try that in Lagos and the case of Funsho Williams will be more palatable than yours.

Meanwhile you Urchins should provide evidence that Obi's claims on savings and investments are incorrect, I will resign my support for him.

There are levels to these things. Do you think Obidients made up of intellectuals are here for usual dirty ragtag African politics that is anti development and anti people?

Use your head before Tifnubu white powder use am for you Olodo.

sunnnnyuu:
You proof to me how blindly you are supporting your lying candidate Obidient and how aggressive obituaries are in response to critics to your candidate, which means if Obidient win election 2023 opposition will suffer in your hands but thank God you people are pushing away people from your candidate with your bad manner and Obidient is going nowhere in 2023

All these urchins hyping Tinubu sef. From 1999 to 2007 that Tinubu was governor, his name was never mentioned among the performing governors of that time. I can recall Donald Duke as one of the outstanding governors.
The issue of Tinubu developed Lagos came up in 2022 for election purposes.

Lagos developed Tinubu and his family..

Urchin Obidients have gone pass this stage.

Obi is una fada in all ramifications.

Corrupt f@@ls

beelon1020:
Olodo obingo,.. back then, when Tinubu developed marina and Lagos island by constructing the roads and introduced the sidewalk design in Lagos I’m sure you are still sucking your mama Bobby then,..
when Tinubu designed 25years Lagos blue print for infrastructure and development, where were you?
When he made his successors follow the 25years Lagos blue print so that they can achieve the plan at the end,.. where is your big stinking mouth then?
Tinubu contributed greatly to the development of Lagos not to his family...
