The deceit you guys are trying to push to the public against Obi on the Water Corporation issue will not work. The majority know about the truth of this story.
The Water Corporation was already in very poor shape when Obi took office in 2006 with about 36 months owed the staff by previous governments. The workers practically were doing nothing.
In 2007 Obi's government released ₦200 million to the corporation as a part-payment to clear the debts of over 400 million owned by previous governments.
Subsequently Obi carried out his administration's water projects through the Ministry of Public Utilities and Water Resources and declared the corporation mouribond and called the workers for discussion on their outstanding debts, they rejected discussions and sued the government and the case was still in court when he left in March 2014.
This is a public knowledge. It was not hidden, the workers rejected peaceful resolution and went to court and the case outlived Obi's administration. That you guys are now making it look like Obi owed them salaries, even when the current government is aware of all that transpired and the lingering court case shows how mischievous you guys are.

A constant lifestyle like this will make you think you are working really hard, but you're really just up against a terrible government. This is not life at all.
… @CCSoludo Prof, your obsession with @PeterObi has become pathological.
The scurrilous attacks! The exhausting redundancy! The banality! The pettiness!
Give the hubris a rest, and redirect the energy to transforming Anambra.
Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
You have owned distribution for decades and still have a national presence, but instead of improving it or moving into manufacturing, you are now fighting the manufacturing source that replaced you in a more efficient global market. The Chinese will build big warehouses and malls as they did in Ghana, and you are out. This is a lesson. Improve or be disrupted.
