Peter Obi’s “Go and Verify”: Five Questions on His Anambra Record

Many argue Peter Obi governed on issues, not identity. He even invited Nigerians to “go and verify.” Let’s test that claim across five key areas. Revenue growth in Anambra accelerated more under Willie Obiano and Charles Soludo. Major infrastructure landmarks—airports, signature bridges or industrial hubs—are hard to find. Security challenges also persisted, and local residents long questioned his legacy. “Go and verify” isn’t a shield for tough questions. Why was wealth creation more visible after his tenure? Why is prudence his main claimed achievement? Can an eight-year term with no flagship projects justify a presidential bid? Myth and inspiration matter, but facts must guide our choice.
