Next time you want to challenge me, give me information directly from your brain. You used Grok to gather information and forgot to edit the headings. You also forgot to do a proper editing of the talking points.
I don't like throwing accusations without thinking it through. So Grok also formats bold using the [b.] [b.] format right? It's okay to quit if you can't feel the ground. I know that feeling ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—. In your mind, you think the simplistic cow, watch, shoe takes will give you a pass without someone calling out your pettiness abi? GWS.

Meanwhile, WAEC admitted they never ranked states. Peter Obi lied about it. Grok lied. You have promoted the lie. Apologize to those who paid your school fees.
WAEC admitted they never ranked states in 2023. Quite obvious isn't it? Every year there has been those records in public space and suddenly there isn't? Many news media have the rankings from when Anambra was 26th, and suddenly, WAEC found their voice to debunk decades later? Peter Obi publicly received an award in 2014 for this feat amongst others Anyways, when a commissioner recently said 54.3% of those government-sponsored failed WAEC; where did he source that from? ๐Ÿ˜

Critical thinking isn't a skill taught in schools, yeah. But even if you missed it before, you should have picked it up somewhere between when you started living life and before you joined APC. Apologies if that didn't work out.

Why is Anambra not like Ibadan.
Not only 2 by 2 shop. Real Estate, importation.

How many people are into oil and gas or cement on large scale in lagos not up to 5%. The rest are retailers.

Haven read the take away, I have come to the conclusion that Obi is the kind of leader Nigeria needs in this dire time.

Like Obi said devaluation of the naira should be done when there's something on ground.
Tinubu has nothing on ground yet devalued the naira.

Things are really expensive now. visiting friends and family has been affected.
Cost of living is just so high.
We don't deserve him. Na Tinubu gan gan fit us. lol! Tinubu is a true reflection of the society at large. The people deserve the type of leaders they get.

Interesting.

Peter Obi governed Anambra State for 8 years.

His talking points as a leader:

1. Stopped the daily killing of cow in government house in Anambra State.

2. Directly paid for petrol for governor's fleet.

3. Wearing one shoe and wrist watch for 17 years.

4. Saved Anambra State funds in a bank he had served as chairman before becoming governor. We all know that banks make money from depositors funds through loans and investments. While Lagos State and Delta invested in Econet Wireless, someone's wisdom was to save money in a bank. Can he tell us how much the bank made from the funds he saved with them and how much he got as a shareholder when dividends were paid?

5. Can he explain to us how he transformed Anambra from consumption to production? Is Anambra an industrial hub today?

6. He talks about poverty. A successor said he doubled poverty rates in Anambra and that investments embarked upon were worth toilet paper.

7. Did he raise the revenue of Anambra State? By how much?

8. Thanks to his innovative leadership, what is Anambra producing today?

What were his big ideas for development? What were his practical ideas for insecurity? What ambitious projects did he have in mind? Someone took on an ambitious project of Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. He was one of those who vehemently condemned the project.

Peter Obi and Atiku Abubarkar used the new Argentinian president's pedestrian template as an example for Nigeria. Today, Argentina is facing the worst economic crisis ever.

For 2027, let Peter Obi give a comprehensive submission of his plans. If he wants to return oil subsidy and dollar subsidy, let him say so. If he'd grant amnesty to repentant terrorists, let him say so.
How you guys concort lies and think Nigerians are fools really dey baffle me.
Like u think everyone will assume ignorance like u guys.
NBS has poverty rating for 2003/04, and then 2009/10 etc
Obi became gov in 2006
And left 2014
These 2 separate years has no rating. From 2004 to 2006 when Obi took over was 2yrs and alot could have gone wrong under Ngige
From 2010 to 2014 when he left was 4yrs and that was enough to bring it down.

How u guys come online to spill trash thinking ur audience are stupid people is really amazing. Meanwhile you actually the one displaying stupidity.
Anyone that has interest on how Nigeria is been governed can easily debunk all your lies.
I pity the people paying u guys, cos seriously u are doing alot of damages to them. Instead of u to focus on promoting Tinubu and his achievement, u are focused on bringing someone that left govt over 10yrs ago down๐Ÿคฃ
This is 2025 not 2023, nobody will judge Tinubu again based on what he did or didn't do as a governor.
His performance so far has point to the fact that he was equally a failure as governor no matter the propaganda.
Many people especially those that sat on the fence will definitely try OBI regardless of the smear campaign u guys are doing.
Do u know Why?
Tinubu has been tested and he failed

Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers
Posted by NAN

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State,ย on Mondayย in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.

Obi handed over one of the vehiclesโ€™ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulersโ€™ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.

He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.

โ€œIf you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,โ€ the governor said.

โ€œIn doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.โ€

Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.

โ€œIt is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,โ€ he said.

โ€œIt is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.โ€

According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.

โ€œWe pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.โ€

Help who!.

He was governor when oil was been sold at $130 per barrel, even with that he could not pay Anambra workers 18k minimum wage.

He threaten to sack and downsize.

No visible legacy project.

Tell me how would he perform when oil is less then $63 per barrel.

People like obi who makes the loudest noise are mostly empty inside.
I no doubt u.like I said Iโ€™m not his fan and havenโ€™t followed his antecedents that much.never lived in anambra to see how he performed.But do u mean to say he never makes sense?Everyting he says is rubbish?common.thats my point.Criticize him where necessary and applaud him where necessary.Tinubu policies get as e be.hunger Dey town o.i Dey super sharp but I Dey see the hunger for the streets.all is not well my brother.and u canโ€™t say he is working on something while the political class is busy enjoying.

Obi's 8-year tenure as Anambra governor was marked by underperformance and failure, yet tribal loyalty suddenly elevated him to hero status.

INTRODUCTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER MAJOR CHANGES IN NIGERIAN POLITICS

*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his governorship electoral victory that was denied him. He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.

*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 Governorsโ€™ 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 Stated, 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.

Interesting.

Peter Obi governed Anambra State for 8 years.

His talking points as a leader:

1. Stopped the daily killing of cow in government house in Anambra State.

2. Directly paid for petrol for governor's fleet.

3. Wearing one shoe and wrist watch for 17 years.

4. Saved Anambra State funds in a bank he had served as chairman before becoming governor. We all know that banks make money from depositors funds through loans and investments. While Lagos State and Delta invested in Econet Wireless, someone's wisdom was to save money in a bank. Can he tell us how much the bank made from the funds he saved with them and how much he got as a shareholder when dividends were paid?

5. Can he explain to us how he transformed Anambra from consumption to production? Is Anambra an industrial hub today?

6. He talks about poverty. A successor said he doubled poverty rates in Anambra and that investments embarked upon were worth toilet paper.

7. Did he raise the revenue of Anambra State? By how much?

8. Thanks to his innovative leadership, what is Anambra producing today?

What were his big ideas for development? What were his practical ideas for insecurity? What ambitious projects did he have in mind? Someone took on an ambitious project of Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. He was one of those who vehemently condemned the project.

Peter Obi and Atiku Abubarkar used the new Argentinian president's pedestrian template as an example for Nigeria. Today, Argentina is facing the worst economic crisis ever.

For 2027, let Peter Obi give a comprehensive submission of his plans. If he wants to return oil subsidy and dollar subsidy, let him say so. If he'd grant amnesty to repentant terrorists, let him say so.
You can decide to look straight to your mamas face and call and take her in as your wife. Na you sabi.
