See What Peter Obi Did To This Community As Governor. ( SEE PHOTOS)

A twitter user took to twitter to reveal what Peter Obi - the Labour Party Presidential Candidate did to this community in Anambra State as Governor. 

Read her...

I am from the Northernmost part of Anambra State, and we live across the Anambra River, my L.G.A is the only L.G.A that has non-Igbos and is headquartered in a non-Igbo community.

What it tells you is that by our riverine terrine; we are *environmentally disadvantaged* especially because of flooding. Also because of the 50% non-Igbo communities; we are *ethnically disadvantaged.

We are the biggest farming L.G.A in the state, yet we are only considered one of the 21 L.G.A’s because we bring federal allocation including one of the biggest ecological funds in the state (All goes to JA) beyond the allocations, maybe they would prefer to call us ‘Kogi People’

There was almost nothing to show that we were part of Anambra state and federation until Peter Obi became governor. *It will be an understatement to use the word ‘marginalisation’ in describing how we were treated*

Why did I give this background?

Because *the only existing tarred road in my L.G.A till today was done by Obi Administration*. Ngige said he didn’t believe the state govt had capacity to handle such project; it is an elevated road with long bridge and multiple culverts to make it all season.

Because the *Obi Administration gave at least 1 community size borehole to all the 10 communities in the L.G.A*. The only other set of boreholes before Obi came to power were 5 PTF boreholes in the L.G.A Obasanjo Administration started and abandoned one elephant’ water scheme

For the 1st time since after Shagari govt; *public primary and secondary schools got renovated and got at least one new block each. Teachers were supervised and given incentives to live in the communities* Govt agreed to pay NYSC members extra to work in the L.G.A,

Farm schools were established, buses, computers and power generating sets were provided.

Because *palliatives meant for flood affected communities both from the FG and State govt reached the people and in time! while Obi was governor; most especially during the 2012 flood*

Thank God we had PO who didn’t discriminate and was with the people through the 3months of disaster.

For the 1st time since after the Nwobodo govt, the only 'semi' general hospital in the L.G.A was reequipped and govt partnered with the church to establish another hospital.

Also at least one living quarter and one ward block was renovated in health posts in all 10 communities.

The governor visited the L.G.A multiple times and slept in the Anglican Bishops house at least on one occasion.

I don’t think it is necessary to continue listing these little things… But my reason is to put my bias towards Obi in your plain view… *Peter Obi made us to again believe that we are equally part of Anambra State

8.After Obi, the next governor returned us to the place of “forgotten people”.

Let me just add that we are still not connected to the national grid, so if you know anyone who can help the good people of Anambra West L.G.A please help us; *we will love you the much we love Obi*.

Some of the Comments reaction on the post on twitter. 

*********

"Peter Obi is from Anambra central and the former governor Mr Obiano is from Anambra north where your local government is located too, yet Obiano did nothing.

Obiano was a monumental failure.

He failed everybody except his stealing friends."

********

"This tweet really got me provoked

The most amazing part of this piece for me was that Peter Obi slept in Bishop court on one of his visit. I once wrked in hotel where he use to lodge during his election case in Enugu, we talked 1on1.PO is not ur regular type of NGR politician he is different"

********

"When Peter obi was in govt. I recall vividly, he gave more incentives to doctors and teachers to work in rural areas. 

More teachers and doctors willingly trooped to rural areas to work.

****

"Uncle when we tell them that this man took us from the trenches they don't understand. Growing up my experience of travelling for Christmas from Aniocha LGA to Orumba North LGA was 12 hours due  to Bad road Obi happened and it was a 2 hour journey"

********

"My brother you just nailed it 🤩 I can’t say no governor will ever be like PO in Anambra State coz no one knows tomorrow, but to see a governor that will break PO’s record is not easy to see in today’s humans."

Each time I read such an emotional testimony about @PeterObi I shed tears as to the Angel that moves around us in human form. It's even more sad that some people are calling him names. God bless you @onyekwelu_tony
