Obi was the only person fit to be a governor in Nigeria

Obienyem said that the irony of the Nigerian situation today was that while other States raised bonds and borrowed money and still owed salaries and consequently left big debts, Peter Obi fulfilled all his financial obligations without owing salaries or contractors, and without raising bonds. Despite this he still left N75 billion (cash and investment) for the state.

Obienyem added that it was on record that he even liquidated arrears of pension and gratuities amounting to over 37 billion Naira owed in the State since 1991. “Even in his handover note, Obi excluded about 5 billion Naira already made available to pay the March 2014 salaries, pension and gratuity as well as for certificates for already executed projects as part of the money he was leaving behind,” Obienyem said.
