This is what Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala wrote about Peter Obi in her Book - Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous - The Story behind the Headlines. © 2018 "The chief opponent of these arguments to deposit savings in the Sovereign Wealth Fund or the Excess Crude Account was Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers state, chair of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF). He was strongly supported by Governor Adams Oshiomole of Edo state, who was very vocal in voicing his disapproval and his suspicions of the federal government’s management of the Excess Crude Account; Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos state, a lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who objected on constitutional grounds; and Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom state, later chair of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum. Others, such as Governor Peter Obi of Anambra state, argued for savings but were not supported. Their voices were drowned out, and National Economic Council (NEC) sessions became unpleasant when this topic arose."

Do you know that APC government received $3.4 billion from IMF, $750 million from the World Bank, and $21.4 million from USAID during the pandemic. They squandered the money and did nothing to support hungry Nigerians. Vote APC for steady borrowing 3 Likes |

No matter how you express your beef and anger against H.E PETER OBI there are facts you cannot change which include; 1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years. 2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years over 230 roads. 3. Educationally, he met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving. 4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact, Melinda and Bill Gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollars for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account. 5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014. 6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman. He left without nothing. He said he does not need them. 7. When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home. You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts. 2 Likes |

The primary role of Govt is not to save but to provide social amenities for her citizens. Provide schools, transportation , security , employment , roads for her citizens How do you tell me you want to save money where by , the roads in your states are not motorable. No public transport, no employment, the state capital is no go area. Which kind of trader to trader analysis be that 13 months strike in state hospitals, and you are telling us of one person saving money for what exactly? No minimum wage payment Saving for what exactly?

Ckonnet: How do you save for the futures when you do not have basic infrastructures to drive your growth? How do save for future when the working environment is next to nothing? How do you save for future when Obi himself could not stay in Anambra after the expiration of his tenure? How do save for future when Obi daughter could not work in Anambra but left for Lagos to secure better enviromnt Where in the world Govts are elected for saving purpose? https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing#10195342

Afamed: Infrastructural development is a continuous process which he also tried to provide n if you don't understand the concept of macro economics you can as well make some research. The money saved can be a collateral to access loans or financial instruments to finance your infrastructural development as well. Saving is a very important component of a healthy economy that can give you access to whatever thing you seek |
