Obi gets commendation as outstanding ex-governor

www.odogwublog.com reports that the former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has been
described as the true apostle of prudence and management of resources. This commendation was contained in a release sent by a political leader in Anambra State, Mr. Fidelis Onwusogbulu.

Mr. Onwusogbulu said it was surprising to note that Obi, after eight years as the Governor of Anambra State left 75 Billion Naira in cash and investment in Anambra State in spite of  not owing salaries or contractors. He said it was even more surprising that he accomplished more than other Governors with stronger economic bases without, like them, borrowing money or raising bonds.


While frowning at what he called “epidemic of debt bequeathed to their predecessors by immediate past Governors of their respective States,”  he said that Obi stood out among the crowd for daring to be different. His words: “If there is one former Governor to be respected and commended in Nigeria today, that person is Mr. Peter Obi. As the Governor, he reduced the cost of governance and used the money belonging to the State the way it should be used. Today, while other States are crying of debts inherited from their predecessors, Anambra State has enough money to execute projects and pay salaries due to healthy purse of 75 Billion he left for his successor.” 
Chief Onwusogbulu called on the leadership of the Nigerian Governors Forum to immediately organise a seminar and invite Obi to share the secret of what he did in Anambra State with the new Governors.
Concluding, he called on Nigerians to celebrate Obi always so that other Governors will appreciate the fruits of good governance.
