Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has commended members of the National Federation of Catholic Students, Federal Government College (Technical), Umunze as well as members of the chaplaincy on their efforts towards the completion of their Church building project as well as the planned commencement of the construction of the Rectory.

The statement said: “I read what was reported in the newspapers of today that the former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi said he would fight the Anambra State election with the last drop of his blood. Gosh! It is malicious, ungodly and wickedness of the highest order to ascribe such a language to Peter Obi. I mean, the language is antithetical to everything Peter Obi stands for.”

In this piece, I set out to re-examine, through the memories of his tenure, what good governance is all about and to encourage Nigerians to look up to him as the man who came into governance through entirely different route, with an entirely different mentality and left it as nobody has done in the history of governance in Nigeria. For me, this is decent birthday present that would also instruct those in governance on the right way to go.
