Peter Obi Defends Anambra Education Record: “I Cleared the Bush” at Igbariam Campus

Peter Obi Defends Anambra Education Record: “I Cleared the Bush” at Igbariam Campus

Peter Obi has responded to criticism of his education record as governor of Anambra State, saying his administration did more than build classroom blocks. In a Channels Television interview, Obi cited the Igbariam campus of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University. He said the site was previously undeveloped bushland and that his government cleared and developed it into a functional campus. The comment, especially his remark that he “cut the grass,” has sparked reactions online, with critics and supporters debating his record in office.

The debate would be clearer with a simple record of projects, timelines, funding, and the campus outcomes residents can verify.
