Obi was Governor in 2006 and that data captured the period till 2010. You go school at all?

I suggest you look at the table again as it clearly says it was the period of 2009 to 2010

Be that as it may, compared to other states in the table, Anambra had the 8th lowest poverty rise.

No 8 out of 36 states is not bad at all

Poverty rate was on increase trajectory since he took over. Even if according to your claim, it was for a year and Obi increased poverty to 53% within a year, then, he's supposed to be in jail.

The problem with babablu bulabu bots is that they always keep scoring own goals.



Tinubu was governor from 1999-2007. Tinubu has already spent 4 years as Lagos state governor and poverty rate of Lagos was 69.4% which is approximately 70% as indicated by the NBS report of 2003-04.

Tinubu was not governor in 2009-10.


NBS didn't release any absolute poverty data rate in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 when Obi was still governor.

Peter Obi was governor between 2006 and 2014.

What was the poverty rate in 2006 before he became governor? Your yeye fact check didn't say.

The only thing from the data is that in 2009-2010 poverty rate in Anambra under Obi was 53.7% while 2003-2004 poverty rate in Lagos under Tinubu was 69.4%.

So between 53.7% and 69.4%, which is better?

Tinubu has even broken his own record. He has made more Nigerians poorer when he was sworn in as president.

You see how shallow ipob dey reason. The 60% rate was under Tinubu's first term when he took over from the military, then compare with his second term at which the rate was already coming down steadily. And then compare with 53.7% poverty rate during Obi's second term. Obi wasted the quality of life of the people of Anambra both in his first and second term. Obiano came and reduced it to 14%.

2006 till 2009/10 is a year gap?

Chai!!! No wonder Tinubu said 'na statistics we go chop' Tinubu supporters no sabi simple maths.

If Obi should be in jail for 53% then Tinubu that gave Lagos 69.4% poverty rate should have capital punishment on his head..

Fashola was governor of Lagos in 2009. Not Tinubu.

Simple history.

He did well with 53%, 28 other states did higher than that. No 8 out 36 states is not a bad score

Putindbutt:

You don't know the difference between was and become.
Dude, go get basic education first before engaging me in any discussion.

This fact check is just all shades of not bright fully reflecting the mental state of the Op.

Comparing 2003-2004 then jumping to 2009-2010 doesn't even make any sense.

Not even to mention that in 2003-2004 when Peter Obi and Tinubu were governors of their respective states poverty in Anambra was 41% and Lagos was 69%!

Shows that Peter Obi maintained a lower, far lower poverty rate than Tinubu.

The 61% was when Tinubu took over from the military? Agreed. So was the 41%

Peter Obi managed it well. Now saying that poverty rate grew steadily to that 53% without having data to back it up is just peddling lies.

Also, poverty rate can grow astronomically within a year. This Tinubu's government has shown that.

So, three years into their respective governments, peter Obi drove down poverty while Tinubu took it up.

A more balanced analysis of the poverty rates in the period under review shows the following:

1. Poverty rates in Nigeria grew nationally from 54.7 in 2004 to 60.9 in 2010 suggesting that inequality and lack of inclusive growth played a role.

2. The global financial crisis of 2008-2009 caused a global economic downturn which likely affected Nigeria’s economy (and by extension Anambra) leading to reduced remittances, trade and investment. One can attribute the national spike in poverty rate to the global financial crisis and not be wrong.

[b]THE ANAMBRA CONTEXT
When Peter Obi took office, Anambra state was grappling with insecurity, political instability and a dysfunctional political structure. It is remarkable to note that prior to Obi’s tenure, the state didn’t have a development plan and had been blacklisted by international development partners.
Also, prior to Obi’s tenure the IGR the state was low though it only grew modestly from 7.4 to 8.7 billion during his tenure. So the state was dependent on federal allocation and was very susceptible to economic shocks resulting from national economic downturns.
To address the issue of poverty, Obi’s government did the following:

1. Fiscal prudence and savings: Obi’s government saved over 500 million dollars in both national and foreign currency which included a 156 million dollar denominated bonds (making Anambra the first state in subsaharan Africa to setup a sub-sovereign wealth fund. This savings provided fiscal stability that enabled Obi’s successor to reduce poverty rate to 14.8% in 2019.

2. Education reforms: Obi’s government provided over 700 school buses, built classroom blocks in all 177 communities of the state, supplied boreholes, established Microsoft academies and internet access in over 500 schools. Anambra’s WAEC ranking increased from 26th to 1st in Obi’s final years in office. Education is a long term poverty reduction strategy and his educational investments increased Anambra’s human capital development.

3. Healthcare investments: Obi’s government secured accreditation for over 12 institutions, built 2 hospitals, and invested in primary healthcare including maternal and child health. He received an award from Bill and Melinda gates for polio eradication efforts. Healthcare investment improve access and can reduce poverty by lowering healthcare costs and increasing productivity.

4. Economic activity: Obi’s government attracted investment from SABmiller, Innoson etc and created jobs.

5. Infrastructure: Obi’s government built the first state secretariat, commenced the 3 arms zone, and conducted aerial mapping of Nnewi, Awka and Onitsha, laying foundations for long term development.

6. Obi’s government restored relations with UNDP, UNICEF and World bank therefore reversing Anambra’s prior pariah status.

Limitations
1. NBS data gaps between 2011 to 2018 makes it difficult to track the poverty trend during Obi’s tenure.

2. NBS approach to poverty estimation ( absolute poverty approach) does not capture other other components of multidimensional poverty (Education, Healthcare, infrastructure) where Obi’s policies had significant impact.

Conclusion
Obi’s policies laid a solid foundation for sustainable development and poverty reduction in Anambra state.

Poverty was 69% under Tinubu in Lagos?!
So nor be today the man don dey throw people in poverty

..the purveyors of lies, deceit & propaganda running helter skelter to tarnish the achievements of PO..

..no matter the propaganda..sane Nigerians are with & always with for PO..

..no amount of lies can change the love Nigerians have for PO..

..corruption lobers & defenders are jittery of the Man of integrity PO..

They are tryna look for any negative on Peter Obi to use as basis for their support for tinubu. You know as in "after all na the same thing". From 2022 till date, dem never see anything yet. They are not looking for anything good about PO because there is nothing good about their god with which they will compare with PO.
So all they seek for na bad things about PO because na only bad things their god get as records: only bad things dey available for him side.

Putindbutt:
You can imagine a messanger who increased poverty in his small state to 53%, imagine the millions of Anambra he brought under poverty. While his immediate successor reduced it to 14%. Such an hypocritical and shameless man he is.

The only thing una god get for his record na bad things, stealing, corruption, etc. That's why na only bad thing una dey search for since 2022 for PO's side to use compare with the only thing wey una god get or sabi.

Una still dey dig for dirts on Obi since 2022 till date? Na wa oooo. Una still never fit dig anything out. I know that the only thing una go fit compare una god with another person na ONLY in evil, corruption, forgery, embezzlement, etc. That's why na only negative things una dey dig since.

You know that na only bad things una god get. To see anything good on his side, we go even dig reach when his father marry his mama, yet we no go see any good thing about him at all.

Mention his name anywhere what readily comes to even your own mind na pure evil, wickedness, corruption, greed, etc.

While trying to expose others, they exposed themselves and showed the entire world that they did far worse than the individual they were trying to expose. This is exactly what the OP has done...shamelessly.

There's a reason he's called Agulu fraud. If he was the one who reduced Anambra poverty t 14%, by now you would have been forcing everyone to lick the sand of his feet. Meanwhile, Obiano who reduced Anambra poverty to 14% and by far better achieved than Obi is today a vilian to ipob.

My friend, keep quiet, we are not talking about absolute poverty in the country here. This was state by state data.There was no vacuum when Obi took over power. Obi took over from Ngige and Anambra poverty rate under Ngige was 37%. After Obi left power, Obiano took it down to 14%. Why was it only Obi that increased poverty in Anambra?.

Ngige was governor of Anambra state between 2003 and 2006. The NBS data available are 2003-2004 and 2009-2010 which are already available on this thread, so I wonder where you are getting your 37% from. The 2009 data as I’ve already stated is due to the global economic crisis. Obiano’s feat in poverty reduction is attributable to Obi’s economic foundation as the data hiatus between 2011 and 2018 might have as well shown a progressive decline in poverty rate between 2009 to 2014.
Also, endeavor to read to understand (or better still, ask someone to explain to you if what is written is too complex for you).
