Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr.Peter Obi has called on Nigerians to stop celebrating criminality, adding that there is enough money for development in Nigeria.

Obi who spoke on the topic: “Cutting cost in governance” in a program organised by the Covenant Christian Center on Saturday in Lagos made the call to Nigerians.

“Nigeria can still function on its income if only we learn how to cut cost.

“We need to cut the cost of governance. No governor need a house in Abuja; governors don’t live in Abuja.”

He berated religious leaders of celebrating corrupt politicians especially when they know the person has no viable source of income.

The former governor  said he saved over N75b for Anambra state before he exited office.

According to him, he saved $50m and N7b in Access bank, $55m and N10b in Fidelity bank, and $155.4m in Diamond bank.

He equally blamed the over-bloated spending habit of most governors as the cause of poverty in Nigeria.

He also advised governors to scrap the Office of the First Lady which he said gulps N2bn monthly.

He said, “It costs an average of N2 billion to run the office of the First Lady in every state in Nigeria. Multiply by 36.
