A political commentator has questioned Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi's record in office, citing Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) figures from Anambra State.
Referring to Obi's recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, where he encouraged Nigerians to judge him based on his past record, the commentator cited claims attributed to Dr. Chukwuma Okafor comparing the IGR performance of former Anambra governors.
According to the post, former Governor Chris Ngige reportedly increased the state's IGR from about ₦800 million to ₦7.4 billion during his tenure, while Peter Obi's administration allegedly recorded a smaller increase over nearly eight years. The commentator also highlighted the reported IGR growth under Obi's successor, Willie Obiano.
Using these figures, the writer argued that revenue growth should be considered when assessing leadership performance and invited Nigerians to draw their own conclusions.
The claims have sparked debate online, with supporters and critics of Peter Obi offering differing interpretations of Anambra's economic performance during his administration.
