Peter Obi for President2018, or atleast vice.


We need men like him in government. I just checked out his profile and noted that it's comparable to that of okonji-iweala


I always say that what Nigeria needs is economists in leadership positions, instead of zoologists and past dictators whom have little to no management skills and knowledge. Really what sort of change are they going to introduce.


what were we thinking in 2014

Zonacom:
According to Obi, Anambra has the best road network in Nigeria. I can't say if i agree with this or not cos I've not travelled the whole of Nigeria. But isn't it shameful that commuters in this state with the best road network find it very hard to travel from Onitsha to Enugu on a road that is perhaps the most important in the state? Some will shout federal road, but obi couldn't do anything about that road by his virtue of being very close to the president for years. So shameful. Even Obi is not worth any trust

Unintelligent ipobs bore me..

arresa:
4 out of 5 SE states collected FG salary bailout so what's your point and why should I be mad. The fact that Anambra did not collect bailout is irrelevant and makes no difference because Anambra is a poor state with one of the lowest state budgets in Nigeria.

Many of the bailed out states are still paying full 18k minimum wage salary while Anambra can not and is too poor to pay the full 18k minimum wage salary..






This is the problem with you people, you have penny wise, pound foolish syndrome.

Governors and leaders are voted into office to not to sit on money, but to use the money to invest, build infrastructures to create jobs and improve people's lives.

Obviously instead of investing, building infrastructures, creating jobs and improving people's lives, he foolishly sat on the money.

The question is, of what use is your saved money that did not fund any infrastructures, didn't create jobs or serve any meaningful purpose apart from the fact that the clueless former governor and your kind get to
empty and shallow brag on the internet?

In fact with all your saved money, Anambra/Obiano is still borrowing billions to fund his government and still have almost nothing to show for whatever meaningless money you people are fooling people with that you saved.

Btw, according to obingo, peter obi did not hand over any N75 billion so who is lying? You, obingo or peter obi?


Abeg keep quiet with that nonsense...

mandarin:
If these are true then he must be very frugal. However am baffled, why did he support a rather wasteful Jonathan Goodluck that laid the foundation for the current recession?
I know he is a learned fellow, versed in financial matters, while on earth did he decide to support GEJ considering his wastefulness.
One thing I've come to learn about educated elites is their penchant to become honorary advisers when they leave government. I thought Okonjo Iweala would for instance come out to explain to Nigerians how she presided over an economy that received so much oil income that toward the end was already borrowing to finance salary of workers.
You see why Nigeria baffles me!!!

Soso990240:
man ur argument is born out of pure hatred. Peter Obi is telling us how he ran his own government successfully and u are here talking trash. Why bring in Gej and other Eastern state governors? Was he d one running their government for them? Or was he d finance minister under Gej? Trash.

kaltonga:
just like your ape of an uncle called himself obj was part of the rot too...your baboon god called tinubu was not left out and yet you praise him to the heavens...mr you are an adent hater of the igbos and anything they stand for,but let me put to you that you can and will never be up to an igbo man by any standard in life.

Whynotthetruth:
1)Why do you always poison every thread with so much venom and hatred that it stinks to read same or even becomes toxic for sane minds to participate in the discussion? And Seun's moderators allow this to go on daily unhindered.

2)How and where did you Prove InyinyaAgbaOku wrong in your link? Where's proof that Jonathan administration borrowed to pay salaries outside the said April ?

3)Why are you so bigoted? Plz enjoy yourself on tribal threads but allow other political threads for sane and decent discussion plzzz

Good day!!!

1. I did not agree that obi eft anything, I was referencing obi's and other people's claims in this thread to make a point.


2. Obingo denied receiving N75 billion from obi at handover so it's still unclear who is lying, but one of them is lying definitely.


3. If obi actually left N75 billion, then what is obingo doing accumulating N10 billion debt? What for. Makes no sense.


4. If you still insist that obi actually left N75 billion, that means obi's N75 billion plus obingo's N10 billion = N85 billion borrow borrow + Taxes + Allocations at obingo's disposal, so kindly show is what obingo did with N85 billion + Taxes, allocations and at least 2 year budgets of at least N100 billion each which = at least N300 billion conservatively.


5. About what obingo did with the money, that's for you his defenders to answer, not me.

mycar:
It baffles me that people still blame last administration on our present predicament, now tell me, is last administration that is making it mandatory that my money sent from abroad should be converted and paid in the local currency at unjustified exchange rate, hence making it difficult for foreign currency to come into the country?
it just like an able young man blaming his misfortune on his father Instead of working hard as his mates are doing.
governance is. continuous process there is no amount of money that is too big to be spent overnight.
At first, they told us that the refineries are almost 90% completed, up till now nothing, no wage increase, no money, nothing to hold hand and they are still blaming the pat administration. what will you be remembered for?

i*'i@$* everywhere

Adiwana:
Thank You.That Arresa guy is so annoying. Anything that has to do with Igbos,he always object even when Peter Obi talked About Nigeria as a Whole he had to bring it down to Tribal Sentiments and the mods are pretending they don't know this guy who spills venous hatred all over threads.smg

Gov Peter Obi quotes that set the internet on fire...

"To you young people, Take Back your Country...it is your future they are toying with". - Peter Obi

"I reduced my convoy to 5 vehicles and you cannot buy fuel unless I am in the car".- Peter Obi

"If I sleep in a hotel and have to pay N250k a night, I will be awake all night...feeling like I was robbed". - Peter Obi


"You know there are many big men in Anambra state, so when they want to see me, I say to them I will come to you instead".- Peter Obi

"We handed schools back to Churches and by 2013, we were number one in WAEC."- Peter Obi

"I beg you to participate more in politics, the society we help them abuse today will take its revenge tomorrow".- Peter Obi

"The only way out of recession is to spend for growth. You can only spend for growth either from savings or from borrowing.
The question is: what are you borrowing for?
Are you borrowing for consumption or for production?
When you borrow for consumption, you are heading for disaster."

-- Peter Obi.

" I had to stop the Presidential lodge in Anambra... A project awarded at 400million. I had to close down state house in lagos and Abuja... Because I felt we dont need it.... Even when other states had."

" They said President Obasanjo is coming... I went to borrow the kind of cars they wanted... Instead of spending millions... From a neigbouring state."

"I requested Obasanjo to spend the nights in my lodge Since they said he must sleep over... I asked my wife to pack out of my bedroom... We went opposite to lodge in a hotel (name mentioned) for the week, we paid N30,000 instead of N100,000."

"I used the 150million for 2 bullet proof cars to buy almost 50 Peugeot cars at 3 million each.. gave 17 to JUDGES and 18 to permanent Secretaries (because i discovered they did not have cars) and kept 10 for govt house... which I used as Governor... I did not use bullet proof cars as Governor."

"They said we should attend world Igbo Congress in U. S.... That the budget WAS cut from 40 to 32million.... I asked them why... That only one person should go and come and tell us what was discussed."

"Instead of paying 30,000 for each security personnel (about 30) per night in Abuja, I told IG to give me Police whenever am in Abuja....I travel alone... Ppl complained.... The 15 drivers lodged in Abuja state house...who come to airport to cause confusion, i asked to go, kept only 3. The others to go back to Akwa or look for job... I asked the cook to go back to Akwa instead of giving him 30,000 per plate."

"When Governors lodge and Govt house was burnt before I came... With budget of 400million and 300 million, I repaired them for 42 million and 80million respectively. They wanted to impeach me that I did not spend by due process... Following the awarded Contracts and contractor.... I saw a table.. That my predecessor used, they said its old... I asked them to renovate it... That all i needed was a table to write as Governor... "

" So so so I was able to save money and made sure that ANAMBRA HAS THE BEST ROAD NETWORK THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN NIGERIA....."

♡♡♡♡♤♤♤♤ PETER OBI....WORDS ON MARBLE! "

The former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi made some staggering revelations on how most states are run.

He made this revelation while speaking at The Platform, a program organised by Covenant Christian Center.

The former Governor also called on Nigerians to stop celebrating criminality, adding that there is enough money for development in Nigeria.

Obi, who spoke on the topic: Cutting cost in governance, said he saved over N75b for Anambra state.

Obi said he saved $50m and N7b in Access bank, $55m and N10b in Fidelity bank, and $155.4m in Diamond bank.

According to him, the over-bloated spending habit of most governors is what is causing poverty.

Obi also added that the states can still function on their income and still save money.

The former Governor called on Nigerians to question the commitments of the leaders who they voted into office.

He also slammed religious leaders for not speaking up against corruption, especially when they know the person has not viable source of income.

Speaking on calls to borrow money to boost the economy, Obi said “There is nothing wrong with borrowing. The crisis we are facing is that we do not know what we are using the money we are borrowing for.”

Highlighting ways on how Governors can save money, he said:

1. Governors spend N600 - N800b to run their office and sponsor their aides.

2. Initiate competitive procurement.

3. Do away with unconstitutional office of the first lady which is run with N2b.

4. Reduce Governor’s cars to 2, instead of 6 bullet-proof cars.

5. Reduce Govt house jeeps instead of 25 jeeps.

He revealed to the audience that it used to cost him and his contingent, 10m per trip to Abuja when he travels.

Obi said he had to cut down the expenses, because he found out that over 30 people who had nothing to do in Abuja were going with him.

"When Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to come to Anambra state, they were supposed to used N500m to construct a presidential lodge, but I asked the President to sleep in my house through-out his stay," he said.

Finally, the former Governor asked Nigerian youths to take back their future by joining politics.

Peter Obi is a recipient of numerous national awards and recognition as a result of his exemplary tenure as governor.
