pazienza:Ide Nnaa, I was one of the few people that kicked against his departure from APGA but I will always follow Okwute wherever he goes. People like Victor Umeh and his clique mocked Obi when Jonathan lost to Buhari, being that Obi was his campaign manager but he (Obi) will always have the last laugh. He is a forthright man and God is with him. Favor will always follow Peter Obi for what he did for Anambra , and , in particular Anambra north. Peter Obi is not your archetypical politician but he is that guy who is always there and keep gaining momentum. |

OMANBALA1:Please let me here word... SO many Igbo guys have sold out, decamped, stolen, lied, and committed abomination in their papaland for the hope of being Vice President. Atiku and the coupist are where they are at today because their people did not sell out to be VP for other nations and were able to have folks accountable to the interest of the group unlike IGBO people who dont know the meaning of Ohanaeze nor the significance of wearing ISI AGU... You people REALLY dont get it do you? |

INTRODUCTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER
MAJOR CHANGES IN NIGERIAN POLITICS
*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria
to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his
governorship electoral victory that was denied him.
He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.
*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally
challenge his wrongful impeachment and was
reinstated by the Courts.
*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the
interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC
allowed elections to take place in Anambra State
when his tenure had not expired; the election
already concluded was cancelled and he was
allowed to complete his tenure.
*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in
both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost
40 years after creation of the State.
*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to
be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.
*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed
into the Presidential Economic Management Team.
*He was among the first Governors to be honoured
with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.
*Though the only Governor whose political party
was in government in only one State, he was
elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’
Forum twice.
*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-
East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the
other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years
rather than the usual one year.
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 States, 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. |

Why I Picked Peter Obi As My Running Mate – Atiku The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for 2019 election, Atiku Abubakar, Friday night confirmed he had picked former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi as his running mate. The confirmation was contained in a statement by the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCO). APCO also gave reasons why Obi was picked, explaining that his choice was largely influenced by his youthfulness, vast knowledge of global and local economics as well as being a financial expert, an experience which it said Nigeria was in need of at this point in time. The statement by the Director General, Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCO), Otuba Gbenga Daniels, described Obi as an astute professional who had laid his footprints across the corporate world. Daniels said Obi, born on 19th July, 1961, attended the Christ the King College, Onitsha and later proceeded to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. He said Obi was also a graduate of several international and national institutions such as the Lagos Business School, Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, Columbia Business School, Institute of Management, Switzerland, Kellogg Graduate School, Oxford University and Cambridge University. He said Obi was the Chairman, Board of Security and Exchange Commission (SEC); former Chairman, Fidelity Bank PLC; former Chairman, Guardian Express Mortgage Bank; former Chairman, Future Views Securities; former Chairman, Paymaster Nigeria; former Chairman, Next International Nigeria; former Director, Guardian Express Bank PLC; former Director, Chams Nigeria PLC; former Director, Emerging Capital: former Director, Card Centre PLC. Daniel said Obi is a member of the British Institute of Directors (IOD), Nigerian Chartered Institute of Bankers and Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG).

superlightning:Do not trust them. That is what they do year in year out, give you long CV that mean nothing and hope the propaganda can engage in mind control over you. Obi is a sellout and a yes yes man, and frankly did nothing tangible as “governor” and will just be making tea for ATiku. The scariest thing is all those Igbo afraid to support Biafra and getting annoyed because IPOB was forcing them to be serious have now totally gotten an erection and are having orgasm over Atiku choosing someone just like them-a non entity psychologically homeless individual that is willing to be a slave to please others.... It’s a pity |
