Are you borrowing for consumption or for production?
When you borrow for consumption, you are heading for disaster."

"
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 former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi made some staggering revelations on how most states are run.
He made this revelation while speaking at The Platform, a program organised by Covenant Christian Center.
The
former Governor also called on Nigerians to stop celebrating
criminality, adding that there is enough money for development in
Nigeria.
Obi, who spoke on the topic: Cutting cost in governance, said he saved over N75b for Anambra state.
Obi said he saved $50m and N7b in Access bank, $55m and N10b in Fidelity bank, and $155.4m in Diamond bank.
According to him, the over-bloated spending habit of most governors is what is causing poverty.
Obi also added that the states can still function on their income and still save money.
The former Governor called on Nigerians to question the commitments of the leaders who they voted into office.
He
also slammed religious leaders for not speaking up against corruption,
especially when they know the person has not viable source of income.
Speaking
on calls to borrow money to boost the economy, Obi said “There is
nothing wrong with borrowing. The crisis we are facing is that we do not
know what we are using the money we are borrowing for.”
Highlighting ways on how Governors can save money, he said:
1. Governors spend N600 - N800b to run their office and sponsor their aides.
2. Initiate competitive procurement.
3. Do away with unconstitutional office of the first lady which is run with N2b.
4. Reduce Governor’s cars to 2, instead of 6 bullet-proof cars.
5. Reduce Govt house jeeps instead of 25 jeeps.
He revealed to the audience that it used to cost him and his contingent, 10m per trip to Abuja when he travels.
Obi
said he had to cut down the expenses, because he found out that over 30
people who had nothing to do in Abuja were going with him.
"When
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo wanted to come to Anambra state, they
were supposed to used N500m to construct a presidential lodge, but I
asked the President to sleep in my house through-out his stay," he said.
Finally, the former Governor asked Nigerian youths to take back their future by joining politics.
Peter Obi is a recipient of numerous national awards and recognition as a result of his exemplary tenure as governor.
