Peter Obi
A former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, appears to have admitted the claims that he is stingy, but in the interest of the people.
The former governor, who was a guest on Channels Television’s political satire ‘The Other News’, said people believed he was stingy because he was prudent in managing public funds.
“It all depends on what you are stingy about,” he said during the first episode of the second season of the programme which aired on Thursday.
“It is not the issue of perception, it is the issue of ‘you are managing public money’. When you are talking about public money, public money must be used for public good.
“it’s not Peter Obi’s personal money, it is money meant to rebuild the schools, it is money meant to constrict roads, it is money meant to provide health facilities, and it is money meant to support small business,” Obi added.
He further stressed the need for leaders to develop the country by providing the needed infrastructure and quality invest in education among others.
