The former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi
has been trending on social media over his speech presentation On Saturday at the Platform, an annual event on leadership, business,
creativity and national empowerment, which held in Lagos. A lot of Nigerians have been reaction to this even after 24 hours after the event was held. In his presentation, the former governor narrated
how he was able to cut down on reckless spending when he was in office.
He advised the state governors to scrap the office of the First Lady describing it
as an office of confusion as it adds to the reckless spending in all
state government offices.
According to him, it cost an average of N2 billion to run the office of the first lady in each state.
"It costs an average of N2 billion to run that office and all the office
does is to create confusion. If you do away with it, you have saved a
state government of N2 billion and N72 billion for all 36 states" he
said.
He narrated how he had to cut down on his aides and government officials
that accompanied him to Abuja so he could save some money for his state
"When I came into office, my first trip to Abuja I traveled with over 30
people. Everybody had a title to be in the plane. So I asked myself, I
am the only one being invited to Abuja. I pay for 30 people to Abuja,
constitute a problem to the traveling public, I am the one going to
Abuja for a meeting. Because they are idle and in the hotel, they eat
more so I have a lot of bills to pay. In the end, every trip was costing
me N10 million and at times I do this four to five times in a month so I
had to ask what the purpose of each person in Abuja and I found out the
only person who was needed in Abuja was me"
“Nigeria can still function on its income if only we learn how to cut cost.
“We need to cut the cost of governance. No governor needs a house in Abuja; governors don’t live in Abuja.
“Government house is not a restaurant, I told my cook to cook for only one person.”he said.
