The former Governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) general election, Peter Obi, has responded to Reno Omokri’s assertion that he didn’t construct any schools during his tenure.
Omokri, a former presidential aide and social media influencer, had challenged the former Anambra state governor and his followers to present a single school he built in his eight years as governor.
Reacting to Reno claims during press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Obi said individuals who made such claims had not taken advantage of his manifesto.
He said that Anambra state was ranked 26th in the nation when he arrived, with shuttered schools and a broken educational system, saying that by the time he departed, Anambra had risen to the top.
Obi said, “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 impassable.”
