“ To Anambra State People: some Abians have mobilized here to buy-out all the next to nothing investments Governor Soludo said Governor Peter Obi made as a governor. At least, Anambra is lucky that the governors there make investments. In my own state, the governor has bragged about attracting KFC and Domino’s pizzas as signs of strategic investments in the state!

Prof Soludo underwhelmed and I am extremely disappointed reading his recent comments on Peter Obi. It was offensive and extremely unfortunate. He wrote and spoke like a lost intellectual, not a professor of economics. In Southeast Nigeria, we used to mock Anambra state that its young people were not going to school, always moving into trading. It was ranked 27th out of 36 in the nation in WAEC and nearly 30th in JAMB.

Magically, within years, Anambra was ranked #1 in WAEC and top-3 in JAMB. For a professor to say that was not an investment must be repudiated. That effort boosted Anambra state literacy rate to 92.11% from less than 60%. All done within 8 years, according to NBS data https://lnkd.in/dXGBumu

Prof Soludo, you need to understand that you are a teacher even as you live in the government mansion. Development is not just about building houses, roads and companies. The biggest investment remains the people. Your state is ranked #1 in the Southeast in education attainment & development today, and that happened because Obi invested in young people when others did not care. Make your point but do not use your position to confuse; certain things should be off politics. You are free to attack Obi, Tinubu, Atiku, etc while promoting your party candidate, but be decent with facts!

Yobe State’s 7.23% Literacy Rate and Digital Transformation - Tekedia We all hear it – if elected governor, I will digitize all state services! And I will bring the productivity excellence of Silicon Valley by creating digital solutions for the citizens. Simply, if we do those things, citizens will experience higher efficiency in governance. I smile – nothing like...

Almost all Nigerians home and abroad, students, elders, pilots, market women, Okada riders and even the educated ones and elites, they all want to identify with Obi, taking pictures and rejoicing over a new Nigeria. Obi may have taken the most pictures ever in history within one month. Our prayer is that this massive love translates to votes. We just have to stand together and kick out our oppressors. We must leave Egypt and we must take over the promised land.
