Gov Peter Obi at The Platform said something about cutting the cost of Governance in Nigeria. Below are some ot his quotes.
"To you young people, Take Back your Country...it
is your future they are toying with". - Peter Obi
"I reduced my convoy to 5 vehicles and you cannot
buy fuel unless I am in the car".- Peter Obi
"If I sleep in a hotel and have to pay N250k a night,
I will be awake all night...feeling like I was
robbed". - Peter Obi
"You know there are many big men in Anambra
state, so when they want to see me, I say to them I
will come to you instead".- Peter Obi
"We handed schools back to Churches and by 2013,
we were number one in WAEC."- Peter Obi
"I beg you to participate more in politics, the
society we help them abuse today will take its
revenge tomorrow".- Peter Obi
"The only way out of recession is to spend for
growth. You can only spend for growth either from
savings or from borrowing.
The question is: what are you borrowing for?
Are you borrowing for consumption or for
production?
When you borrow for consumption, you are heading
for disaster."
-- Peter Obi.
" I had to stop the Presidential lodge in Anambra...
A project awarded at 400million. I had to close
down state house in lagos and Abuja... Because I
felt we dont need it.... Even when other states had."
" They said President Obasanjo is coming... I went
to borrow the kind of cars they wanted... Instead of
spending millions... From a neigbouring state."
"I requested Obasanjo to spend the nights in my
lodge Since they said he must sleep over... I asked
my wife to pack out of my bedroom... We went
opposite to lodge in a hotel (name mentioned) for
the week, we paid N30,000 instead of N100,000."
"I used the 150million for 2 bullet proof cars to buy
almost 50 Peugeot cars at 3 million each.. gave 17
to JUDGES and 18 to permanent Secretaries
(because i discovered they did not have cars) and
kept 10 for govt house... which I used as
Governor... I did not use bullet proof cars as
Governor."
"They said we should attend world Igbo Congress in
U. S.... That the budget WAS cut from 40 to
32million.... I asked them why... That only one
person should go and come and tell us what was
discussed."
"Instead of paying 30,000 for each security
personnel (about 30) per night in Abuja, I told IG to
give me Police whenever am in Abuja....I travel
alone... Ppl complained.... The 15 drivers lodged in
Abuja state house...who come to airport to cause
confusion, i asked to go, kept only 3. The others to
go back to Akwa or look for job... I asked the cook
to go back to Akwa instead of giving him 30,000
per plate."
"When Governors lodge and Govt house was burnt
before I came... With budget of 400million and 300
million, I repaired them for 42 million and 80million
respectively. They wanted to impeach me that I did
not spend by due process... Following the awarded
Contracts and contractor.... I saw a table.. That my
predecessor used, they said its old... I asked them
to renovate it... That all i needed was a table to
write as Governor... "
" So so so I was able to save money and made sure that ANAMBRA HAS THE BEST ROAD
NETWORK THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN
NIGERIA....."
PETER OBI....WORDS ON MARBLE! @ The Platform.
