Peter Obi has said that the Federal Government should not build the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway because there are uncompleted projects all over Nigeria. But there were also numerous uncompleted projects all over Anambra during Peter’s eight year tenure as Anambra Governor, yet Peter Obi invested in a $30 million beer brewery.
For example, Anambra under Peter Obi, became the erosion headquarters of the entire world. Please fact-check me. They also suffered perennial flooding that kills Anambra residents and destroys billions of properties perennially. Yet, Peter Obi did not complete the erosion and flood control projects initiated by his predecessors.
Lagos had even worse flooding than Anambra, due to the Atlantic Ocean flooding Victoria Island, but Tinubu and Fashola reclaimed land from the ocean, and ended that annual flooding, and even built a brand new city, Eko Atlantic City, out of what was once covered with water.
But Peter Obi’s focus was on beer. Perhaps he wanted Anambra people to console themselves while flood and erosion destroyed their communities.
