My first ever encounter with this man called Peter Obi was at 8:43am. I was late to school, and as i stood outside the gate waiting for the Labour prefect to bring brooms and show us where we to sweep, i saw this man casually walk into the school premises and ask me to take him to where our senior prefect was 😅. He only came to the school cos he wanted to confirm by himself if the computers that was approved by the education board was actually sent to our school. He didn't even come to see our principal who saw him from his office and rushed to greet him. Obi smiled, greeted and waved at him while still following our senior prefect to the computer room and checking it to be sure it worked properly. After that, he went class by class, asking us what we needed. He didn't even come with an entourage or anything. Just him. I don't think you understand how crazy it is to have the governor of your state casually walking into your school without any escort and assessing what needs to be done himself. The next day, they brought us new ceiling fans and brand new chairs... He set the bar so high in governance that if you tell random Nigerians that you could casually text your governor your problems or tune into ABS radio on a Tuesday evening to call in to his show and that your area would be immediately attended to or he'd explain to you why it hasn't yet been attended to. Looking back, i think i understand better now why we Anambrarians didn't even say much online about Peter Obi, and that is because we were living so well and so fine we didn't even want outsiders to know how well we were enjoying 😅. That's the only plausible explanation i can give. We didn't give this man enough PR, although it is not entirely our fault cos he loved to live a low-key lifestyle, but at the same time... we had our mouths filled with enjoyment. If you knew how bad things were from the Mbadinuju era, you'd understand that Obi did so well we couldn't even believe our luck. I guess we felt that if we publicly praised him too much, it might get into his head and he'd probably stop doing all these good things for us because it was too good to be true. But here we are, trading words online with people wey we no even suppose dey talk to at all 😂
