With respect sir, why not use your common sense sometimes. Look at the evidence: do u really think Obiano started 200 billion in debt?

Please don't add Edo to this man, last year FG approved $75million to Edo for salaries and even with that some employers are been owe 17-10months. Presently Edo is the third most indebted state in Nigeria.

tuniski:

Other oil producing nations enjoyed same. I am yet to see them lamenting ceaselessly. By the way, America as prosperous as they are have been in recessions and depression even great depression ie a decade of depression. What nations do is what matters when in crisis. The current govt out of cluelessness keep churning out propaganda and blame game without substance in sustainable leadership!

We can nt hold obi responsible for GEJ, but we can hold Buhari responsible for Silva and Dariye even though they committed their alleged crimes under 16 years of PDP and Jona who had all the instruments of power and law reinforcements to jail them if found wanting?


You people just spew rubbish out of both sides of your necks..



Governance is improving the lives of the people and the only way you do that is capacity building, investing in and building infrastructures that creates jobs which in turn boost the economy and people's standard of living.

Saving money instead of doing the above is foolishness, incompetence, lack of ideas and vision and even gross abdication of responsibilities.

Not investing funds at your disposal means you can not create jobs, it means you can not start and commission projects that positively impacts people's lives..

This is the same kind of lack of ideas and vision mentality responsible for the inability of many public officials to deliver just like the entire SE is lagging behind in delivered infrastructures...

Hiding money under the bed means money that's redundant, tied down and benefits nobody, even his own people and the owner of the money.

It's called penny wise pound foolish..

Obi is the kind of weak and incompetent public official you sack with immediate effect.



Btw, what's so brilliant about lying that you left N75 billion when your own successor is still insisting that you're lying...?

One criterium is decency. This is a decent human being. Unlike 99.9% of our politicians - wasteful thieves.

The evidence? For one thing it was obvious that from inception Obiano had a lot of money - govs who started out in debt couldn't pay salaries.
That's called deductive reasoning - everything doesn't have to be spelled out for u.

OBJ sacked the useless and incompetent woman, but jona picked her up to soak our dollars just to sit and inordinate looting and stealing, issuing import waivers to cronies, looking the other way while NNPC loot us dry with multiple illegal foreign accounts instead of depositing our earnings in her federal account, stealing and dashing our money to dasuki to share and do ATM.

The same incompetent woman many clowns praise as a world class banker borrowed hundreds of billions to pay salaries and fund budget almost through out her stay in office even though Nigeria made more money under her watch than any other government in the history of Nigeria.

If the same useless world banker instituted austerity measures and borrowed hundreds of billions when Nigeria's oil was selling for $80 dollars, what is she going to do with oil selling for $30? She go probably auction Nigeria patpata.


Now the useless woman is confessing that her and her stealing is not corruption boss failed to save to prevent our current economic situation.


Bottom line, the useless woman should have remained sacked by OBJ, but crooked jona brought her back to facilitate his wholesale and institutionalized regime..

Obi claimed he left N75 billion while his successor is still claiming otherwise.


Obviously, somebody is lying and that somebody is Obi.


If he actually did not leave that amount, then exactly what did he do with that money?


E don take am clean mouth of course...

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!!!

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.

Nairalane:
I wish Mikel Obi can learn from this.

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

globe16:

obi was governor and he failed period, not like he turned his state to paris or anything of that nature, not like he wasn't involved in money laundering, what then should be the criteria for making him president? So that he will continue building his private shopping malls as president. Peter obi can only be president to gullibles like you!

ernieboy:

yes other nations did but you usually see attendant infrastructural development and boost in the foreign reserve of those nations, but not only did gej squander the reserve left by the OBJ admin, he also squandered the money coming during his tenure without any appreciable infrastructural development.

Why didn't he give this wisdom to Jonathan instead of singing his praises while that one wasted our money on frivolity.

sukkot:
peter obi needs to be flogged with ugwu leaf. finding his voice after the horse has been let out of the stable

its like that corrupt ret-ard named jonathan trying to play statesman making all these nice flowery patriotic speeches during independence day when he knows he has 1 billion dollars of nigegrian money hidden in swiss accounts

StarCj:


can you compare your past Governor's achievements to his.
before you go do, tell me the state. he is far better than my state Governor (Imo) n whole governor in south east n South South, North Central.

macof:




Yes sure Goodluck Jonathan was wasteful. most national leaders of the world are. .I don't know why

but Compare the money Jonathan spent on his personal welfare and maintainance of the Aso Villa with that of Buhari. .tell me who has been most wasteful
