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

*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..

TAKE AWAY:

[b]. 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

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 , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar 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.

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. [/b]

Here's a link to some projects executed and completed by Peter Obi as governor of Anambra State?

https://www.nairaland.com/7313723/some-projects-done-peter-obi

Someone have been contesting to be President for over 20 years and couldn't get 1 million votes in all elections put together in all 20 years that he has been contesting while another man came to take his shine by winning the hearts of the youths and getting over 6 million votes in just one election, Sowore should be jealous and bitter...he needs Bitter Obi to flush the hatred.

The CV could keep an employer busy for the whole day.

Sowore is just bitter.

Sowore that is a destined loser. He is so pained that most nigerian youths tilted to PO and not him. Useless Sowore that wanted to hijack end sars protest to make it look like he championed it. Agbalagba that never outgrew student unionism.

I would like to see Sowore and Tinubu CV. I want to check something

Its not about his CV but his recklessness in making some nonsense insinuation about something he's not sure of.

That's dumbness.. Like claiming It was Pdp that won the Edo state election. That's retardly dumb

We know when envy triggers bitterness, it's deadly and dangerous. Sowere believes he should be a direct beneficiary of the EndSARs grassroots movement, but that never happened. Rather, the youths, some intellectuals, and the Diaspora Nigerians adopted Peter Obi, and this became a poisonous pill 💊 to Sowere and his gang of Aluta agitators.

helinues:

In all honesty bro....being or acting up all reckless, is embedded in every human and its act and display could pop up when push comes to shove......it all depends if the bases and reason of his recklessness is genuine and just or Simply for rascality sake.....you can't be condemning Peter Obi and yet be praising Tinubu......Remember his STEAL IT, SNATCH IT AND RUNAWAY with it mantra?....doesn't that depic an act of recklessness?...

Till this day, I keep wondering why Peter Obi seem to be the only man being condemned by people of questionable characters ranging from corruption while in office....is there something about Peter Obi that they appear scared of?.

Is Peter Obi the only opposition politicians in Nigeria? How come no one is complaining about others like Peter Obi?

Using religious sentiments as campaign tool was not smart at all. He won't get away with that format in 2027, if he doesn't run away to meet Atiku.

We are talking of born dumb you are talking of money buy certificate.

Its not about his CV but his recklessness in making some nonsense insinuation about something he's not sure of.

Is Peter Obi the only opposition politicians in Nigeria? How come no one is complaining about others like Peter Obi?

He appears to be the only difficult challenger of the opposition that's why.

This is so because he pull a whooping over 6 million votes on his first presidential contest from a minor party within a short time of defecting from a major party.

It is because he truly won the last election
And now SW president is so scared of what obi can do in 2027.He now recruited all the SW transport union workers living in makoko to be on social space to see if they can bring his popularity down.Then is not working. Thr greatest fear now is obi talking of aligning with north so that election will be over by 12 noon in 2027.A don't envy SW president New boxed position. He has been sharing hunger,poverty,corruption and insecurity in the last 2 yrs as the gods want to punish him

When an opposition attacks another opposition know he is sponsored by the leadership... It's not basic science

Sowore never attacked opposition till APC came into power in 2015 .. Prove me wrong

2027 elections is around the corner,he should be able to double that feat but he will prove himself to be a failure by getting not up to half of that 6m,I can bet that with you.

Sowore is just jealous of H.E Obi's pedigree.

Elusive001:
Everything on Peter Obi's is clear cut.: no ambiguity. They are verifiable. No controversy

Let's see the CV of your god, your very god.

😂

In all honesty bro....being or acting up all reckless, is embedded in every human and its act and display could pop up when push comes to shove......it all depends if the bases and reason of his recklessness is genuine and just or Simple for rascality sake.....you can't be condemning Peter Obi and yet be praising Tinubu......Remember his STEAL IT, SNATCH IT AND RUNAWAY with it mantra?....doesn't that depic an act of recklessness?...

Till this day, I keep wondering why Peter Obi seem to be the only man being condemned by people of questionable characters ranging from corruption while in office....is there something about Peter Obi that they appear scared of?.

They are scared of him.

The notorious narcotics trafficker, certificate forger, and buccaneering power grabber known for forfeiting over $460,000 to the U.S. government due to drug-related proceeds, remains visibly unsettled whenever legal decisions from the U.S. threaten to unearth further details. With his Emilokan-style tribal and ethnic bigotry and the bitter politics that saw him hire fake pastors in borrowed robes to endorse his controversial same-faith ticket, he is considered “smart,” I guess.

Atiku must have also rigged himself to be in second position

Have Peter Obi and his supporters stop thinking things logical?

Being intelligent or smart is not about CV

APC is obviously using Sowore, Atiku, Wike, El Rufai, Kwakwanso, Abure.

Their objectives is to scatter votes and cause intentional crisis in their various parties. We can see what's happening in LP and PDP. As well NNPP, AAC, SDP and the rest are used to scatter votes in their strong holds across the country during election
