So, Peter Obi saved billions for Anambra state after his infrastructural strides.

Now, let's check something.

Tinubu did not build brewery, did not build airport, did not build flyover, did not build control the flood in Lagos state, did not build stadium, did not build new schools, Tinubu did not beautify Lagos(Fashola Did), etc.

How much did he then save for Lagos State, as there are no major Projects done by Tinubu, and seeing that Lagos is richer than Anambra

Please, leave politics aside and argue constructively. We're checking something.

Ofunaofu:
If we’re being logical, then let’s follow logic all the way. Obi increased Anambra’s IGR by over 60% during his tenure, from about ₦500 million to over ₦1.2 billion monthly. He also left ₦75 billion in savings with no debt when he left office something your Tinubu can’t boast of

Struggled to pay wages? He paid off pensions and salaries without borrowing. Can you say the same for Tinubu’s Lagos that still runs on heavy debt and opaque Alpha Beta deals? Let’s debate with facts, not propaganda.

helinues:
What he did with the money is what always attract people to Lagos state. Can same be said about Anambra state where Peter Obi govern. Even Peter Obi chose to reside in Lagos state than Anambra state

Factcheck0001:
one question for u


If your father saved all the money u ought to use to feed, will u b here today?

Ikaeniyan0:
it's not the job of the state government to save money.

Ikaeniyan0:
Show evidence the IGR increased from #500m to #1.2 billion monthly under Obi

Agbegbaorogboye:
You mean people were not going to Lagos before Tinubu became gov?

Streetinvestor2:
You lies stinks. What is the address of whr obi reside in lagos. I can have a property in osun state does not mean I live in osun.

Agbegbaorogboye:
But Tinubu claimed to be saving. That's why he removed subsidy and devalued naira leading to ebinpawa and you clap for him today
Are you an hypocrite or what?

dederocs:
He created an avenue for perpetual wealth. No nation or person gets wealthy by saving, inflation will eat up your savings.

How will savings benefit citizens of a state?

helinues:
What was the reason the Doctor and nurses went on strike for good 13 months?

Going by your calculations, if a state is generating N1.5bn monthly as IGR, how much expenditure would they have inside monthly?

So where precisely did Peter Obi get the money he saved?

helinues:
Google is your friend

Annoyingly, you lots would be arguing confidently on something you are not sure of

Eish

helinues:
Also remember, Lagos state monthly money from FG was seized for years, yet more LCDA was created funded by the money generated internally without relying on FG's money.

That's unprecedented

helinues:
To start with

Speaking of president Tinubu, Lagos IGR was raised from N600m to nothing less than N3bn monthly. Yes monthly.

So saving money for future use is now a bad thing no wonder there is culture of looting and vandalism in your region.Tinubu looted everything with bullion vans and you selected him to emerge president of Nigeria.

Ofemannnu:
Peter Obi saved 1k but owed 100k.
No be mumu savings and naked corruption be dat?

Factcheck0001:
so if your son is on the sick bed n need 500k for urgent treatment, u won't pay the money but save it for his future right?

I didn't say that. If the situation of the state have been deteriorating, the visitors won't be flocking

Ojiofor:
Anambra was better than your state when Peter Obi was governor.His state was number one in education and other sectors and have the best road network in SE.so who was hungry?
Those who did not save are there not hungry sick people in their states?

Ofunaofu:
Not until you show proof how much Tinubu saved for Lagos state at the end of his tenure

obonujoker:
Proof of the owing?

Ofunaofu:
I won't engage you on this IGR issue again until you show proof of how much Tinubu saved for Lagos state at the end of his tenure

At the bold, below is Peter Obi response to it. Take your time and read it and get enlightened

"It’s an issue I don’t want to discuss, our hospitals were not functioning, we tried to fund health facilities, it wasn’t working, there was strike in education too, we tried to fund our secondary schools and primary schools, it wasn’t working, so we decided that we have to have alternatives when I got to Anambra State, there was no single school of nursing that was accredited, no school of midwifery, no school of health technology – all these were not there."

“The hospitals were in bad conditions, same was the schools, we were putting money and we were not seeing the results, even bought ambulances, they disappeared, so I said no, we have to have an alternative. So we returned schools to the churches, the original owners, and say ‘we will fund you and of course, we saw the results, we moved from number 26 to number 1. The same thing happened with the hospitals, we built 10 schools of nursing, midwifery, and health technology but not through government

“For example, in Iyienu being owned by Church of Nigeria, they have the school of nursing, school of midwifery and school of health technology, we funded and resuscitated it and it was accredited, we went to Onitsha, Waterside being owned by the catholic church and Borromeo, their schools of nursing, school of midwifery, we resuscitated it, they were accredited and are functioning now.


“We went to St. Joseph Adazi, their school of nursing, school of midwifery, school of health technology we resuscitated it and it’s working. We went to Our Lady of Lourdes in Ihial, school of nursing, school of midwifery, school of health technology, we resuscitated it and it’s functional.

“We even worked with one of the Church of Nigeria bishops that were very committed in health issues, Bishop Ikeakor, and set up in Amichi Hospital, we built school of nursing, school of midwifery and school of health technology, these are schools that are there.

“So, in doing this, I had issues with the established bodies because they saw it that I was now doing things to the private sector. For me, the result was important and that was the issues

“During my governorship, I had strikes with teachers, doctors, different groups, but it was trying to change them from being what they used to be to what it should be. When you bring change, you will have enemies – all those who live off the old order, he added.
