Obiano built the Umueri airport, built the 3 defective flyovers in Awka, built the Omambala bridge, completed part of the Awka stadium and the conference center Awka even though the landscaping isn’t touched at all.
Ordinarily, all these projects are enough to say that he has worked but the majority of Anambra people see him as a big flop and his predecessor Mr Peter Obi as a big success, why?
Many have asked these questions and many are still asking. The answer lies in good governance.
Like Buhari, one can build some land mark projects and still be a total failure. HE Peter Obi built things that helped the state tremendously.
He built a brand new teaching hospital in Amaku Awka, built many top-notch hospitals that have touched the health’s of ndị Anambra and beyond positively.
He handed over all the mission schools back to their original owners and hugely upgraded them to international standards leading to improved education for our people, he built roads in every of the 177 communities of the state opening up the whole hinterlands and connecting them to the rest of the state.
He turned the civil service around and stamped out bribery and corruption.
He provided security and reduced the cost of governance to next to nothing. All these he did while saving huge sums of money for the future of the state without borrowing a kobo from anybody.
He developed all sectors of the state in a way that took them to higher levels. He as a result, touched every Anambrarian positively.
Compared to Obiano, who abandoned the business of governance and took to the bar, drinking away our goodwill and squandering all our resources on frivolities.
The rest he embezzled in the name of building the aforementioned projects that he never let’s anyone know how much he spent on them, while leaving all the roads built by his predecessors to delapidate even when he wasn’t building new ones.
So to those who don’t know Jack about governance, they may be carried away by the Umueri airport and the conference center without understanding that governance goes beyond few capital projects. So here, you have it.. Obiano is a monumental failure..
