Peter Obi Son: Meet Gregory Peter Oseloka Obi – Peter Obi is a Nigerian businessman and politician who served as Governor of Anambra State, Nigeria from 2006 to 2014. He was born on July 19, 1961 in Onitsha, a town in Anambra State.
In the early 1990s, Obi went into business and became a successful entrepreneur. He founded several companies in the fields of real estate, construction and commerce. He is also known for his philanthropic involvement, particularly in the areas of education and health.
In 2006, Obi entered politics and successfully ran for governor of Anambra State. During his tenure as governor, he made several significant contributions to the development of the state. He implemented measures to improve education, health care and infrastructure and also promoted economic development.
One of his major achievements as governor was the successful implementation of a program called the “Anambra State Integrated Development Strategy” which aimed to improve the standard of living of the people of the Anambra State. The program focused on creating jobs, improving access to essential services and promoting economic development.
Obi’s tenure as governor was also marked by his efforts in the fight against corruption. It introduced measures to ensure transparency and accountability in government and also established a public procurement process ensuring that all contracts are awarded through open and competitive tenders.
However, Obi’s tenure as governor was not without controversy. He has been criticized for his handling of certain issues, such as state finances, and allegations of corruption have also been made against him. Despite this, he remained popular with the people of Anambra State and was re-elected governor in 2010.
After completing his second term as governor in 2014, Obi decided not to run again. Instead, he focused on his business and philanthropic activities. He remains an influential figure in Nigerian politics and is frequently called upon to provide his views and expertise on various issues affecting the country.
In the 2019 presidential election, he was the candidate of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, but the latter failed to win the election. He wanted to lead the PDP in 2023 but the PDP chose Atiku again, which forced him to abandon the PDP and join the Labor Party of which he became the standard bearer.
