Why I didn’t build new schools in Anambra as governor – Peter Obi opens up

April 24, 2024

By John Owen Nwachukwu

He presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has responded to the question that he did not build a single new school when he was Governor of Anambra State.

A popular social media personality, Reno Omokri, had last week hit out at Obi, challenging the the former Anambra State Governor and his followers to show a single school he started and finished in his eight years as governor.

Reno promised to reward handsomely, anyone that could show a school built by Obi.

And responding to this during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Obi said those who said that failed to avail themselves of his manifesto.

He said that when he came to Anambra State, education was in shambles, schools were closed and the state was number 26 in the country but by the time he left, Anambra was number one in the state.

“I improved the quality, physical and mental well-being of the people, schools, had the basic things they needed and the people shone like stars and that was my manifesto.

“Building new schools when the old ones are moribund is just like building coastal lines when internal roads are imable.”

Reno who throw the challenge was so sure before posting it.

Same Reno that once managed Peter Obi's social media s when he was still active in Pdp

No new school no investment

Should Reno Omokri be giving all the accolades now that you can sleep properly tonight

--Words on marble!!!

This is a knockout punch by Peter Obi, if he really said this.

How come Anambra overtook Lagos in education, in spite of the schools that Tinubu built?

Anambra became number 1, by merely improving the quality of the schools in place and adopting policies that will enhance education.

Secondly, the child rapists should stop looking for new grounds for their nefarious activities. Law enforcement agencies should immediately arrest anyone from a child-raping family, found hanging around schools.

Make una try and cover una face with something.

What then have you people been struggling to defend when Peter Obi himself knew he didn't start and complete any schools during his 8 years as Anambra state governor.

Was education even part of his agenda? Someone who increased the state tuition fee by 80% claiming education is not for the poor.

When we told you guys to observe decorum about that matter, una dey do strong head

Una principal don disappoint una

Are you still wailing?

He didn't build new school simply because Anambra state don't need new government schools.

Anambra state is still topq in basic education nationwide

How many basic schools are in Anambra state?

Are you telling us all the communities in Anambra state have both primary and secondary schools?

For you long would some you guys continue to be deriding una self ?

Una initially claimed Peter Obi start and completed schools while the man himself is saying he never did.

Abeg make una stop, the jokes are getting too hilarious

Huh
