The former governor of Anambra State and Labour Party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi has said that the Anambra state government has not given him anything since he left government in 2014.

Peter Obi spoke during an interview with Rufai of AriseTV on Monday morning.

The former governor and Presidential aspirant also said he has only one house in his state, Anambra, and he lives in a rented apartment in Lagos, and while in Abuja, he stays in hotels.

“The only thing I didn’t do well (as a Governor) was not being in media and advertising myself. Maybe because I have an issue with giving people money”.

“During my time as Governor, I ranked number one in education and in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The only thing I didn’t do well was publicizing my achievements because I refused to use public funds to pay the media.”

“Securing a country is far more fundamental than building roads. Rufai, are you saying a coastal road is more important than securing Nigeria? Would you prefer a road to your village if you can’t even drive there safely?”

“During my time as Governor, I ranked number one in education and in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The only thing I didn’t do well was publicizing my achievements because I refused to use public funds to pay the media.”!
