Throwback:
Why did Barth Nnaji put himself in a compromising position that made Jonathan sack him?

Maybe if the PDP federal government had allowed Tinubu's brilliant intervention on Electric Power flourish in 2000, we would not have needed a Barth Nnaji to come mess himself up over a decade later.


Our best route to fixing power was the liberalisation of the power sector that Tinubu pursued with the Enron project in Lagos.

Tinubu may be as corrupt as every single state Governor Nigeria has had since 1999, but he is certainly a visionary who faced challenges head on.

Tinubu's government in Lagos pioneered a lot of public initiatives and solutions in different sectors that other states later copied.

LASTMA for traffic.
LAWMA for waste disposal
Enron IPP for electrical power
Revamping of Primary Health Centers
BRT for public transportation
Local Government Areas were increased to 57 (37 LCDAs that will in due time become full-fledged LGAs).
State monthly IGR rose from N600m to about N10b between 1999 to 2007.
The very 1st state to embrace digital technology (Oracle) in managing its civil service and public database.

Return of all missionary schools to their original owners, despite the disapproval of his fellow Muslims who didn't want their own schools back and wanted the Christian schools to remain state owned, Tinubu did not yield to their parochial opinions.
Despite the return to private ownership, all students who were already in JSS2 to SSS3, were exempt from the new school fees charged by the returning proprietors as Lagos State was paying a yearly subsidy to the new ownership to cover the students mapped as state responsibility until the last set of JSS2 public students graduated 5years later.

Tinubu was the one who showed other state governments the power that was inherent in a state government and the separation of power between federal vs state.

Obasanjo will never forget Tinubu who did not surrender the independence of his state to the mercy of the federal government. Buhari will never forget how Tinubu championed and finetuned his presidential ambition, even employing his Chicago connections to get the same PR team that managed the presidential campaign of Barack Obama.

Tinubu did not learn from his peers, instead he pioneered for the duplication by his peers. He has demonstrated an ability to lead and to create order out of chaos.

Tinubu has managed a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society, and is better experienced at being an impartial and sensitive leader at the national level for a heterogeneous country like Nigeria.

Guy instead of you catching hypertension for any n all Obi threads, abeg create a thread on who YOU support. Let's also go pull up their receipts. Put your guy up to be castigated too

By the time we all finish that presidential seat for Aso Rock go dey empty.
Then we can all relax

The invisible cabals can keep orchestrating from the back room.
Auto pilot presidency. Let's try it

BafanaBafana:
Osibanjo did not betray Tinubu. Unless they signed an agreement that Osibanjo would not run for president

greatiyk4u:
Is not owning house in ikoyi same as not stealing?
He has mega small in Abuja, ph and other businesses home and abroad

gidgiddy:
You guys are twisting what Obi said and I dont know why. Obi said he has worn a particular wristwatch for 17 years, you people twisted it to mean he only has one watch

Peter Obi said he only owns one house in Nigeria, in Onitsha. You people twisted it to mean that he owns one house worldwide

nzeobi:
He told you he has no house in Nigeria aside his house in onitsha and agulu his village. If he has another any where please name it and don't tell us about the rented flat in ikoyi where the wife and kid stays

Ikinternational:

So how did Obiano debunk it if Obiano did not talk about it?

deji17:
This is even more indicting. So he could not take the cheque to Lagos and deposit it in a bank? Moving state fund like an illiterate 2 x4 petty trader .

mrvitalis:
First thing was to hand over school back to their mission owners so government handled their own schools

Next was effective funding ... normally money from ministry of education moved from FG -state -LGA - schools ...but he made it FG to schools straight ...

Each mission school or government school are given grants to run effectively with the states funding them ... and supervised by the school board made up of principles n mission school owners

This pushed Anambra ranked 20th when he came in to 1st when he left ...now Anambra and my imo have been draging 1st since in weac ,jamb and NECO performance u can research the performance ....

It's not about building infrastructure but it's about improving efficiency

Google about Anambra public schools and see how the policy is working

deji17:
Peter Obi and his co travellers are fraudulent. Walahi.

This is pointless. If you can't post facts I'm going to bed. I don't care for the stupid back n forth with a troll

I have my receipts ready.
Just waiting to see if you're really bout it bout it. Save the paragraphs

Codeye:
LITTLE BOY? Do you know that in America when the pronoun BOY is use to address a well grown man it the same thing as calling the person SLAVE.
Now let's talk about HONESTY. No politician can ever be honest. There are reasons politics is tag A DIRTY GAME. Obi has nothing to offer Nigerians and that's a fact. You can't go on air to claim instead of borrowing that we should all die of hunger. There are country owing x10 of what Nigeria is currently owing make a proper research. In a country as wealth as Nigeria borrowing is NEVER a wrong policy is there are a well calculated plan on how to put the borrowed money to good use. In developed country borrow money was used to complete most of their capital projects and that's a fact. Take a good businessman for an example his/her businesses can't grow without borrow fund. Look at Dangote Leke-Epe refinery funded by borrowed fund just to mention few. Peter Obi have nothing upstairs these people as just fortunate to amass looted wealth not that they had extraordinary skills or are professional of anything.

In plain language all Peter Obi is saying is Nigeria needs to tighten its belt.

Why something so simple needed to be explained is perplexing
