Even in the face of the nations' current bleak economic situation, the former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, still disagrees with the notion that Nigerian states are incapable of paying salaries; as he insists that with prudence and prioritizing, State Governors could pay salaries and still engage in other developmental activities.
The former Governor made his remarks at the 17th Annual Convention of the Igbo Youth Movement in Enugu, where he received the award as ‘Best Governor Ever.' Obi stated that most State Governments spent a lot of money on irrelevant and unnecessary things, while running out of money for projects that would enrich the people.
Peter Obi used himself as an example of a leadership worth emulating; stating that during his tenure as Governor, he did not charter private planes, keep guest houses, travel with more people in his entourage than necessary, fly Business Class or use bullet proof vehicles, etc.
