Throwback: "When Peter Obi Withheld Gov. Mbadinuju Pensions For Owing Pensioners

In 2007, Daily Sun reported that Anambra State Governor Peter Obi had blocked pension payments to former governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju, who had left office in 2003 with more than ₦1 billion in unpaid pensions.

Unnamed sources told the newspaper that Mbadinuju had left behind 16 months of unpaid pensions and once described protesting pensioners as “dead woods.”


Obi reportedly said he found it difficult to approve Mbadinuju’s pension while the state was still struggling to clear the backlog of unpaid pensions he had inherited.

Daily Sun reported, “Obi said that he could not approve Mbadinuju's pension in good conscience as ₦1.7 billion duly paid to the state by the Federal Government was missing and was still being investigated.”


The governor’s spokesperson, Valentine Obienyem, did not confirm the report. However, when asked for his thoughts, he said, “It will become a good lesson to those that govern states that sooner or later, our actions and omissions will haunt us.”

Now this is Peter Obi for you. He is not pensionable and held the defaulting predecessor to probity, accountability and responsibility.

Meanwhile former governor Mbadinuju was annoyed then connived with the Uba brother to start the constitutional crisis in Anambra state leading to Peter Obi illegal impeachment under a tree in Asaba that was fought gallantly and won in court. Then you said Peter is corrupt or will not fight corruption?

That's kind of president we need if this country were functional.

Imagine freezing the accounts of these present crop of thieving politicians and actively recovering and prosecuting them.

Only a PO can do it!

Yes ooo, it is suppose to be.

A man who also ended up owing pensions and not paying some dues himself.

If Obi would only be realistic about his time in governance and state the challenges he faced and met, instead of acting all saint like and pretending he turned a challenging situation to Dubai and the envy of all.

Ofcourse, it is. Imagine if all the governors know that once yhu fail to pay pensions yhurs too will be withheld, no state government will be owing pensioners.

We can do better than hurling insults and making unsubstantiated claims.

If we're presented with superior facts, it's wisdom to adjust.

It will become a good lesson to those that govern states that sooner or later, our actions and omissions will haunt us.
Almost 20 years later, the lesson is not good enough for those who govern Nigeria.
