We are confident of one thing, Peter Obi will never become the president of Nigeria

They probably don't know who Lee is, they think he was a half-baked leader with no balls

I doubt if Bayo Onanuga has conscience. An old man always behaving like a kid just because he is eating from the table of APC. He should asked him self where lie Mohammed is today.

Obidients nor go kill me. The boldness though is what we need.

Bayo acts like a child. An old man child at that. How can he spend is time responding to people that are not much significant. He has to be silent on some issues not anything he sees.

I love this , at least in Nigeria today,you are free to support your preferred candidate, we don't know what we are enjoying. Go to Uganda, you can be arrested if you fail to vote as a government worker for the sitting president.

Nobody should gag anybody, as for me , am for..........B

Onanuga with his foolish rant has helped to make the post trend.

I didn't know about it before now. There must be something special about Peter Obi.

May God keep blessing His Excellency, Peter Obi for his service oriented approach to life

Ofunaofu:
Bayo Onanuga is a known ethnic bigot.


Would he have an issue if Tinubu were compared to Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore?

Any small thing ethnic ethnic, Una own no Dey pass like that and na Una do the ethnicity bias thing pass.

Just checking - is the work of this chap just to badmouth and insult people?

No Nigerian leader can measure up to lee.kwan yeu..at all.

Anambra and Lagos don't look like Singapore, lol.

Fashola comes close but even then, Lagos did not really improve under his rule

Ofunaofu:
The only blueprint industry the D-Lord established after governing Lagos for eight locust years: an industry churning out agberos, hoodlums, and owo mi das

That’s because that’s what your brains can comprehend or your eyes can see. It’s not our fault that you can’t see good things other than bad things.

With all the developments going on in Lagos, na wetin you see be that? You need check up oo.

chopnaira:
No wonder Anambra is looking like Dubai or Singapore.

🤣

What did Obiano do to drop poverty that much? The infopic suggests that 53.8% is a bit too high. Where is the data supporting this from?

Maxymilliano:
As posted by Alex Onyia

Peter Obi is like Lee Kwan Yu of Singapore.

Leaders like him come once in a generation.

He didn't build one classroom but he made Anambra state number one in education throughout his reign as governor. This man must be a magician. Tinubu tha created Lagos has messed of the whole country from where Buhari stopped. These people think that they are in opposition. The Only thing they have achieved so far is attacking Peter Obi.

How can a sensible adult even make such a comparison?
Oyo State, Kano and Kaduna are richer than Anambra that he governed. Which one is Singapore? As in how? Na wa o!

Hmmmm he did not build a classroom yet he took a state from 26th to 1st in education without building a classroom. I think I am interested in such a genius!

9jatriot:
How can somebody who is not even up to Yahaya Bello be compared to the great Singaporean leader? What drugs do these people smoke abeg?

That is a joke taken too far! Anyway, we all are entitled to our own opinion as long as it gives you satisfaction.

Peter Obi hasn't shown the capacity of Lee Kuan yew of Singapore, he may have the potentials but not yet close to be compared at this point so pls let us stop the sycophancy.

This MAGA DOG should rest pls, this is becoming too much and disgusting... this A P shit footsoldier urchins should let obi breathe, he's not the one that messed-up this economy. Why all this 8ate against one man that hasn't done anything wrong to anyone nor ever committed fraud or being invited by the EFCC none like thier pay masters? always obsessed about the mentioning of obi...and i keep wondering why they're all afraid of this man and always after him.. maybe it's simply all because of the natural love the commom man (owner's of nigeria) has for him. Dem go wail tire obi will never respond to them....Nigeria my foot.

This classroom matter eh. But make we reason this like normal beings, why will I see already built schools that are decaying and I will leave them to go and build another from the scratch, just make e enter record say I build school. This is not even suppose to b a topic for discussion for any normal human. God go punish! Reno sha

They still can't believe someone will finish 8 years as governor without any single criminal act of money laundering..none like them and their pay masters and that's why they're always after him..🤣🤣

that's the format they're using to syphon money by placing a humongous amount of their choice on every project, but obviously, obi isn't like them..

We know your comparison is based on corruption levels, that's why you called this name ....
Peter Obi is not in the league of those EFCC chairman sworn he will rather resign if he didn't duck him. .
You all should have Shame or is shame not too common around all of you??

Obi is in the category or Ortom and Bello, the only thing those ones have not yet done is to try to whitewash their reputation. And it will not take much, just sprinkle a few bore holes here and there, become a public speaker at events where you try to justify why took certain actions as governor, remind people that you are just like them with just one watch, one house or one pair of shoes.

Do this over and over again then you will have started the process of helping people forget you did not when you had your own chance. Lamba king is an example, until he started attending that October 1st event where he famously said he had not watch, no one regarded him as a good ex governor, not even those from the state in which he was governor.

Speaking of infancy, Bayo should ask his principal to tell Nigerians where is grew up, who his parents are, which state and his school mates in secondary school. Obi will continue living rent free inside their head.

They see building schools as a huge project since out of ten homes in Ekiti share one pit toilet ...
You now see the issue?

🤣

This is how you all go about spreading fake news and propaganda lols

So Mbadinuju reduced Poverty from 52% to 41% yet received curses from pensioners that he didn't pay for years even their gratuity?

I was denied one year in school because of god fathers surrounding Mbadinuju then that hijacked Anambra Treasury...

The same man is who you said did what?....reduced poverty in Anambra State

Ngige that took office for just three years with all manner of violence bestowed in his Administration from the same god fathers also reduced poverty to what......

Where did you get this useless propaganda summary from?

You people should try and have shame nah for the sake of Nigerian development....

Nigerians have long passed this level of deception , go and produce another lies pls

The problem with you is that you think Nigerians see from your own eyes....

People who are sane have read the handwriting on the wall, have searched and seen the difference....

What category is Emiiii who couldn't provide his primary and secondary school certificates

Is he not in the category of Buhari who also couldn't produce his certificates , who you too attested that he is a failure in government and your government is trying to revamp his mess

And besides, I wonder if Onunoga even have a job description or is he to be loitering to and fro looking for Peter Obi to destroy?....if you are a Christian, you will understand the character of who he is copying .....very pathetic

Amumaigwe:
Doing his image making job poorly and with venous.
Nigerians know Timubu and they know PO.
As touching his stewardship in Anambra, forward POs dossier hereunder to the bitter old hag.

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

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

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.

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.

Thank you so much
