Sanwo-Olu slams Peter Obi over U.S. University comments: "Poverty Worsened, No School Or Hospital built in your 8 Years as Anambra Governor"

Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu slams Peter Obi, accusing him of lacking the authority to speak about poverty in Nigeria.

In a statement titled, "Factually Addressing Mr. Peter Obi’s Criticism of Nigeria at Johns Hopkins University," the Lagos governor alleged that while Peter Obi was still Anambra Governor the state witnessed a significant rise in poverty.

During his remarks at Johns Hopkins University, Obi compared Nigeria’s poverty level with that of China and Vietnam.

Peter stated, "The question then is, what exactly did these countries do to be able to achieve the desired growth and development?

"That is where political leadership comes in. These comparable nations, and, indeed, other progressive nations, unlike Nigeria, have competent leadership with character, capacity and compassion, committed to prioritising investment in critical areas of developmental measures: education, health, and pulling people out of poverty."

Responding, Sanwo-Olu criticised Obi for allegedly tarnishing Nigeria’s image abroad.

Sanwo-Olu emphasised that poverty alleviation demands serious investment in education, healthcare, and economic empowerment, questioning Obi’s record in these areas.

Sanwo-olu highlighting achievements under President Bola Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu said, "I say this because the president of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is my predecessor, and as governor of Lagos and now President of Nigeria, has built over 200 schools and provided student loans to more than 200,000 undergraduates of Nigerian tertiary institutions.

In less than two years, he has provided over half a billion dollars in credit facilities to small and medium-scale enterprises."

He added that Tinubu, during his tenure as Lagos governor, reduced poverty by over 46 per cent, arguing that “the best predictor of the future is the past.”

According to report, the tragic incident occurred when a military truck conveying soldiers from Damboa to Maiduguri hit a landmine.
