No other candidate has used his testimonials in campaigning more than Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State….
**Obi is the only candidate that is telling how he pulled out a state education sector from being 26th in national exams to First.
**Obi is the only one telling how he cleared up pension arrears and did not owe pension or salaries while leaving office, did not borrow and still left billions untouched….he has propunded a theory that with prudence, much can be achieved with little and still have reserve.
**Obi is the only one telling how he ran a state without borrowing…. because when you borrow without a plan to put it in production, it will be messed.
**Obi is the only one telling how he midwifed industrial revolution in Anambra… starting with midwifing the first car manufacturing firm in Africa….to attracting an international breweries….etc.
**Obi is the only one that is telling how he beat administrative bottleneck to start funding schools directly and it is working till today.
**Obi is the only one teaching about scale of preference and priority in governance….for instance, this is one example among many, a contract to provide street lights to the governor’s lodge was channel to provide stand by generators to ALL over 500 secondary schools in Anambra, the presence of steady power aided the use of their laboratories equiped by Obi too and computer workshops also equipped by Obi….with Internet subscription that lasted 2 years after he left office. You see, Anambra being top in external exams from a disastrous 26th when he took over was not luck….it was a product of work.
** Obi is the only Governor in our history to have Congress of senior prefects in the state, gave them his direct phone numbers and demand they call to report directly to him anything not going right in the school….the result? The school system took shape sharply and no one want to be caught napping. This speaks volume about his capacity in unconventional ideas.
**Obi is the only one telling how he completed all the road network started by his predecessors that by the time he left office, Anambra had the best road network in Nigeria…
**Obi is the only one telling how shutting down cost of governance enabled him to build and equiped a teaching hospital and several other infrastructures from scratch….so equipped that open heart surgeries happened there before leaving office.
**Obi is the only one telling how he used local policing to chase the likes of Evans out of Anambra state…
**Obi is the only one showing international award as the state with the best performance in MDGs among his peers.
**Obi is the one that left the most financially liquid and responsible handover note.
**Obi is the only one not desperate to be president because he is sufficiently busy. While politicians lie that they are being called or pressured to serve/run for public office…..Obi is the only politician in our recently history that was truly pressured to serve because citizens are overwhelmingly aware that he is an asset.
**Obi is about the ONLY FORMER GOVERNOR WITHOUT A CASE FILE IN EFCC…..YET, HE HAS BEEN LOUD IN CRITICISING THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY KNOWN FOR VINDICTIVE TENDENCIES……He must be too far from any coven to even be witch-hunted.
Listen, the choice before PDP is simply, launch back yourself into the heart of Nigerians by giving your TICKET to PETER OBI and watch the presidency delivered. It is Pan Nigerian movement. A social revolution.
From there, the journey of attempting to salvage Nigeria from the mess can begin.
#PeterIsBeter ….. don’t forget that!
