- Mr Valentine Obienyem, the media aide to the former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, makes statements countering claims of the current administration about the debt profile of the State.
Mr Obienyem said that the 75 billion Naira left by the former administration was in cash and investments, contrary to claims that Mr Obi said he left 75 billion Naira cash.
He gives a breakdown of the investments and cash left by the former Governor.
"The money he left is actually over 37 billion Naira in liquid cash," he said.

It’s 2am right now and am here digging up the past about this man
I am elated and happy that he has not disappointed me
He’s the real deal
Thank you God
Yes oo bro.
He's now in the ballot and i hope you will vote him, OBIDATTI ticket of LP?
Compared to what other Governors have left behind, Peter Obi is a SAINT. Only the corrupt and retrogressive will fight OBI.
I agree with 100%. A sane person will rather vote for someone with such credibility than Chief thief Atiku who complete stole huge country resources or the chief thiefnubu who pocketed Lagos.
Na Saint Obi he be nah...
He's indeed accountable... Kudos
Lots of governors embezzled money and where not scrutinized this way. What a people we are in this Nigeria
I never believe this video is 6yrs ago 😿😿😿. Truly Peter Obi is the right man for the job. The last words of this man catch me the most
He's now in the ballot and i hope you will vote him, OBIDATTI ticket of LP?
Obiano is now ex-governor. He was arrested for corruption after he left the same post. He could not defend the empty treasury he left
it's Willie Obiano and not Peter Obi.
@@naijanaija3686 He knows the difference
Exactly
@@naijanaija3686 try to understand the comment b4 responding.
😂😂😂 he meet money started enjoyment he just build the airport to confuse people
This is 6years ago and PO is still making same prayers for Nigeria. What a man. God bless him.
Obi will block oil thefts, looters and unnecessary spending in governance , deal with bogus figures in contracts. Obi will save billions of $ year from this areas to improve the lives of Nigerians. Every Nigerian that desire good Nigeria should support obi, introspective of tribe and religion.
Unfortunately, we have interviewers who are so daft when it comes to contracts, they ought to have down some research before coming to display their naivety. Contracts all over the world are done on the principles of Earned Value Management system. The contractors don't do the contract all at once, several activities are involved, and so when they finish certain miles stones, certificates are issued and verified and the contractor is paid, that helps the cash flow for the contractor to continue working and the cycle continues till the whole contract is completed. Now Peter OBI is right to say he wasn't owing any contractor, as long as he paid for all work done and certificates issued. The rest of the work left for the new governor is not a debt but part of his own administrations works to be done, and when the work is done, they also pay the contractor. But I want to know how much Obiano left for Soludo in liquid cash.
Very solid comments 👍
You have given the best response so far. Your explanation and expression are concise, clear, and logical. As for the interviewers, while Channels is great, sometimes they treat reportage like Soap Opera and try to promote drama and sensationalism. One irritating thing to view is when a respondent is giving an explanation and they cut him off a few seconds to the end of his speech, preventing the point to be clearly expressed, especially when the interviewee is not extremely articulate. Great job you've done in the explanation you've given.
He left debt for Soludo
Thank you for this contribution. As always, the 4th estate will want to project an attitude of Knowledge which they clearly and demonstratively lack. Hence we have mediocrity in all facet of management and administration of public services.
Exactly
Peter Obi is not in government any more, yet someone can stand and defend his tenure. This was a government that was open to all. Am impressed with his style of leadership.
Shut up! If it was another person-Tinubu or Atiku, you Morons would have attacked them
This was 7 years ago interview

Are you sick or something?
Did you not understand English?

Six years after… I am in awe of PO… his representative in the studio clearly understood the assignment. As for the presenters… this is a witch-hunt not journalism. They should bow their heads in shame and keep it that way…
😅😅😅
One thing I noticed is Obi's ability to recruit right.. this guy was able to outsmart the journalists traps and word twisting.
You won't notice any other thing; Mr Peter is very different with what Nigeria used to
@@chiebele9443 I'm talking of what stood out to me, there are many other things like his ability to express himself in simple words(raw intelligence); his simplicity in interaction(humility): not acting bigger than the presenters like his successor did etc. Obi seems to pay attention to vital details before hiring and that's going to be huge for us, it feels like a dream!
@@davidoluwadare2787 do your research on Mr Obi governance, his 8year in office as Governor of Anambra State, and spread the News to your friends and enemies...
@@chiebele9443 what's the point of this exactly?
@@davidoluwadare2787 there are even amongst his State men who were very against his style of governance; those ones that cherish embezzlement of public funds.
Even if is 9 billion he tried becos govt today in Nigeria are owing salaries,this he never owed any body yet he still save money,Obi I love you
I love the man
not 9 billion but 35 billion and above in local cash and 35 billion Naira equivalent in foreign bonds. Peter Obi has come out to defend this all the time during the day he handed over the state account to the government that succeeded him and after he left office he still said the same. I heard from him that the Three directors of that bank were in attendance when he declared the money. then, those directors did not object to him. Then, why are these people chasing the shadow while running away from the light?
Mr Peter Obi is the Main person for this Presidency Job.we are praying for him
God knows he needs prayers. He is the man for the job
This is an old interview 6yrs old but still relevant today
6yrs ago and there writing news about russia and ukraine war
Worldhealth that was when Russia was fighting IS not Ukraine.
Since democracy returned no gov has performed like Peter obi you can take that to the bank

@@adinduokeke2246 Tinubu was Governor of Lagos with Zero Allocation from Federal Government. Obi doesn't live in the Dubai he created. He lives in Lagos. I'm sure there may be a special madman that advises him living in his house at Onitsha
Certificates of completion is what he is talking about. Contractors get paid according to what they have done as shown in Certificates of completion. The guy is spot on. The interviewers are asking about things they couldn't comprehend.
The interviewers dont have the slightest idea of how contracts work..
Shame on Channels TV
No idea
@@nnamdiudoye Exactly, they being educated by the man instead of listening they re forming big time journalists
The interviewers are dumb af. The lady was mistaking foreign bonds for local currency. This is a classic Nigerian problem, where mfers with porous brains wear suits and pretend to be smart.
Channels had no interest in the response. They just wanted him to be wrong. Shameful journalism
I wish government can be this transparent like Peter was while in office.
Young man please, leave those people, they are not sure of what they want. Nigerians know that Peter Obi is the best, but those of his own brothers who refuse to accept him can go to Hell. We MUST move forward at all cost.
I am extremely excited about this Anambra state saga. This is what is expected of intelligent people. Peter Obie has tried. He made decisions based on variables he was confronted with as at the time he made the decisions . I suggest the present Government should move on and take excellent decisions that will equally demonstrate it's skills, knowledge and capacity to govern like Peter Obi did. Governor Ambode of Lagos took over and improved on his predecessors achievements. Remember the great Ikemba of Nnewi the legendary: Saying that we must be futuristic as God Almighty fixes our eyes at our foreheads and not at the back for visionary leadership. Once again I commend the two Governors for their intelligence and constructive criticism to moving Anambra state forward. Other states Governors that couldn't pay staff salaries should go and learn from Anambra. We shall get to the promise land. God bless Anambra state!!! God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!!!!!!
He's now in the ballot and i hope you will vote him, OBIDATTI ticket of LP?
They should leave Peter Obi alone. He has done his best for his state more any other Governor.
This aide is so intelligent
Peter Obi cannot work with a bozo na
Very,he reasons and speaks like his Og a intelligently😊
well chosen Aide
He always work with intelligent people I like him for that
I pray to God to answer our prayers by given us Peter obi come 2023 in the name of Jesus Amennn
Please, make sure you are not fighting God. Peter Obi is the son of God.
Peter Obi is truly reliable even through this interview.
Nigeria hates people like Obi. No airs; no wastefulness. All of his difficulties came from his refusal to spend public funds like some drunken sailor.
I love that metaphor
Thank God for social media
Vote for Mr Peter obi for the next Nigerian president
The first problem of Nigeria's bad journalism, lies, falls hood, deception from the media.. and when you see them you pity them because of the level of poverty in their lives..may God have mercy
Truth
Journalist are part of Nigeria problem
Most people are forgetting that this video is from nearly 7 years ago and still is very relevant as to the character and integrity of the man 11:50
Hats off to the aide PO is simply awesome.
Simply put, Channel tv panelist are just too Bias to actually make this a worthy to watch interview. They kept reaching their own conclusions and not actually ready to get any fact or point from the conversation. Peter Obi is simply the man for the Job.
After watching channels interview with Ahmed Datti a while ago...I fully agree with you on thier bias
He's now in the ballot and i hope you will vote him, OBIDATTI ticket of LP?
If Nigeria really need sincerity to grow Peter Obi is the right choice to preside over her affairs now
GOD please give us victory give OBI victory
Nigeria. Obi Is the right man to become a president in Nigeria his qualified
Peter Obi is the light.
Watching this Video in 2022, It is clearly obvious the Channels crew were not ready to listen to the evidence presented by the media aide. Yeye people!
The lady in the crew was simply unwilling to see the position of the aide
Channels is always supporting bad governance cos they collect money to aid evil
These old criminals are now working against the Light; Peters Obi. Light against Darkness.
What is this one in glasses asking. If you don't understand how contracts work why don't you ask instead of wasting the mans precious time. They think its by keeping serious face and asking questions my 10year old cousin won't ask.
Mrs as it were, how much did Obiano leave for Professor Soludo?
Peter obi all the way up
Thumbs up to Peter OBIdient
What a leader he is and posterity will never forget him. God bless Mr PO!
these journalists should have done their home work before this interview, they don't even know how certificates are generated and contract law in Nigeria. this is shameful on their part.
I never knew it was 7yrs ago, I thought it was a12 hour back interview, wow so relevant to the present nationwide inquisition on Peter Obi. Kudos to him.
I am happy with the man Peter Obi.
@ 4:21 I love their transparency. This is the leadership we NEED in Nigeria
These journalists were shamelessly looking for a way to run down Peter Obi. They failed woefully.
They're probably trying to convince more people who doubt
No man,they are doing their jobs
Are these Channel TV reporters daft? You have the account numbers, why not verify with the banks.
As at this time, they thought PO was being dubious...over time we have all seen the main dubious men.
Channels TV. Very sad interview.
It's not by speaking English. Please do your research before conducting interviews. You guys came across as very shallow and limited
The best t.v. crew members in nigeria currently are Arise television crew
I love this
The more they try to pull him down the more he gain peoples confidence, i wonder if it is only Peter Obi that is contesting this election, we have not heard from other aspirant speak directly to the people rather we have people speaking on their behalf, no weapon fashion against Obi will prosper , who God have blessed no man can course, Peter Obi all the way.
You can’t hear from them because they have nothing to offer,
I wish Channels are able to watch this video again
This is a very stupid conversation. In all his speeches, Obi said he's not owing for any job that is completed and certified. He never said that he paid for all the contracts he awarded. Why don't these media people go after Rochas Okorocha and the likes?
These panel of interviewers seem ignorant of public procurement principles... journalists should always and always exhaust investigation before shaming themselves on air.
Peter obi we proud of you
The ease, innocence and the uncontradictory responses he gave were disarming.... The journalists were poor with their questions though.... I expected something better
Thank you for this submission, Obi is a good administrator but not an exceptional one... he did what he could...

Name one among the current crop of leaders that is better than him?
Like the parable of Jesus, if you light up a lamp, put it on the mantle for it to shine. Peter shines far and wide!
@@AkinsNazri I wish others were also as good in doing the right thing!
@@AkinsNazri then you don't know what it means to be exceptional. No leader in Nigeria can equate what he has done.
People talk abt Lagos. Lagos already had its foundation laid with Federal money as former capital of Nigeria with numerous foreign investors who were attracted by the same. The governors of Lagos only Bank on the already existing structure. Besides that, no other state can match the stride recorded by Anambra.
This was an interview granted 6years ago. A good man is a good man
No one could answer his question what is debt? Rather they answered his question with a question...
They are daft
You pay the contractor based on the certificate of completion he presents. If the agreement is to present certificates at 24, 50 , 75 , then 100%, then they are paid when those certificates of completion are presented. It would be dishonest for Peter Obi to claim sole credit for contracts initiated and only for example 25% complete. It would also be dishonest for Willie Obiano to claim he met a lot of debt when all certificates of completion had been honoured. All they each had to do was present the list of projects and what stage of completion they were as at handover.
The fact is that Obiano could even terminate the contract the day he took office and the state wouldn't be owing the contractors any money. You don't expect an outgoing governor to pay for contract that's yet to mature when the new governor will be receiving monthly allocations.
This is purely example of a Good leader.
Mr Peter obi God bless you .
This is just a definition of what happened between Balaam and king Balak of Moabite, blessing the children of Israel instead of cursing them, thanks for promoting Peter Obi, I know they sent you to come demote Him, maybe you're one of those He never allowed to loot Anambra state treasury.
Why would any one paid for jobs not yet completed or done in advance
It's unfortunate that these guys don't understand the procurement process. You don't pay for work not yet done.
They are inexperienced journalists to be asking such questions about the awarded contracts and how to be paid at stages of completion. They are just chasing the shadow.
All this media people trying to get a word out of this man. I don't have a nasty word to use on 3 of you. Am in a good mood. Obi doesn't need us, we need him. Don't know why we love evil than good. May God shows mercy on us all.
An old video that speaks volume of his character God bless PO for us.
Government is in continuity, so yes if a tenure is ended and a project is not completed it is the newly sitting government to follow through and deliver to the completion of the project, that's how growth and development happens - not to abandon projects like other leaders do - CONTINUITY is the word and should be understood by any leader
This is why I didn't pity the TVC. Staffs when their station was set ablaze during the endsars saga because they made themselves enemy of the masses because of small small brown envelopes
Channels TV, you guys always want to prove that you are good at probing and asking unnecessary questions.
In contract accounting, the certificate he is talking about literally means "a Certified Portion" of the total contract. In other words, if the job is worth N1 billion, and mobilisation of N200m is paid, as the work progresses, there will be a need to appraise the contract to ascertain the completion value. This is the CERTIFICATE the man is talking about, not that uncompleted job was paid for in advance. so the value completed (in line with their MOU) will be paid. These are just agents of retrogression in Nigeria. Did Peter complain about the several Billions of Liability he met? It is only those who have nothing to offer that keep complaining like we have been experiencing in Nigeria.
I think Obiano should be summoned to tell us what he did with the money Obi left and the amount he left while leaving the office.
That interviewer in the middle is not Smart at all. The aid was trying to explain to him that Mr Obi is paying the contractors as they do the job and not paying for the whole kilometers awarded at once. The new governor was so myopic to go and start calling out for Mr Obi instead of him to follow suit and continue from where he stopped or even consult Mr Obi for guidance or clarification. Thank Goodness for Mr Obi's accountability and fairness. If Nigerian youths miss voting in Mr Obi in 2023, I will never ever pity for them again. Then I will know that they love their oppressors.
This interview was 6 years ago, It wasn't about 2023 election.
Honestly I’m just surprised
Mind you, Mr PO was a banker and documentation and handing over note is in thier blood.
With the account number written there, why not take the account number to go verify
The good that men do live after them
God bless Peter Obi
Channel TV another propaganda television. Now u didn't turn off comment session.
Channel tv needs matured journalist like Arise tv.
Very true
Tribalism has eaten so deep in people's brains the lady interviewing him have been the worst offender in regards to this act of wickedness called tribalism.
Please Channel TV can you invite Tinunbu and interview him one on one, i want to hear directly from him just as many TV stations and Radio stations are inviting Peter Obi, thanks.
In law of contract, you only make payment upon receipt of certificate of work done. As at the end of his tenure, all work done for which certificate was duly issued had all been paid. Since government is continuous, the present administration should carry on
None of the presidential candidates could give a detailed account of their stewardship while in office.
Peter Obi is the God sent to solve the numerous problems facing the country.
Let's vote for him enmass and you will realize that it'll be difficult to rig an election where there's no voter aparthy.
Why have you suddenly opened your comments section? You restricted your watchers for ages, why not continue on that line... ? I sincerely hope Channels News has opened its comments section for sincere reasons.
Very Bad journalism. Channels Can't you take this account details and verify from the bank. This is very simple
Its clearly a very bad case of poor journalism.
No matter what you people say or do, this is our Moses that will bring us out from Egypt. Obi i stand come rain 🌧️ come sun 🌞
If you want I can leave it for you for verifications.
Obi for the people
I hardly comment on TH-cam videos but on this I have to comment.
This is the problem I have with most (if not all) Nigerian TV stations and their staff (yes, I said staff not journalists).
Why?
They don't make enquiry or due investigation on a topic before bringing anyone to speak on it. It's written all over them that they don't even understand what the man is talking about.
They don't understand how procurement (law) works. It's a same to watch.
I can also bet you that they didn't get the documents from him to make further investigation on it.
They just sit there day and day out and talk hearsay.
No professionalism at all
Based on work done at the time there was no debt, but investment to aid future needs and contracts to pay because investment yields more with time and if well organized the remaining 80% will be taking care of by the investment with alot more near cash left to support another government.
Because think about it, if 186billion is for the contact, and 20% which is 36billion was paid, and the Balance of 144billion was left, of which 75billion was ready as cash and investments! But no paid because the work was not done or say completed.
Now are you telling me in the next 4years that the investment of 75billion cannot double or triple in that amount of time??
Mind that balance left, on the assumption that they have finished their work would be 144b - 75b = 69b
That is 69billion,
So you're saying with the investment of 75billion, a sum of 69billion can't be attained??
Please it's obvious that they dislike the fact that the 9billion in cash was too small for them to share, as when they heard 75billion they were already thinking of how to share it, but realized that sharing those investment secretly will be more difficult, because of how transparent Peter Obi Made them to be.
Bro governance is a continuous project, the federal government didn't stop paying the state allocation and security votes, hence the Obiano should be able to complete payment for contracts not yet done just as Peter Obi paid that of Ngige and didn't use that as an excuse. It's part of the handover, was he expecting Peter to pay for projects of 10yrs to come when the Fg hasn't sent allocation for 10yrs. If I was him I would have continued with the policies of Peter Obi to continue to save 5% of save revenue while I pay for the jobs as they finish as well as Fg allocation arrives.
What makes the closure of comments in the subsequent future in the channel news?
By now we all know the kind of fool Obiano is
Tell them!!!
Its such a shame seeing supposed experienced journalists play such Bias and still cannot find any real fault in the person of Peter Obi, its people like this that chose Barrabas over Jesus. Peter Obi has demonstrated that there are some God fearing people still in existence, Yet the minions of the evil ones keep throwing things at his person, evidently all yo no avail. Peter obi will triumph.
While it is good to be transparent and accountable, i which these journalists as well will question those who liquidates state funds this same way.
Where is Anambra today?
Guys at channels should go and read principles of contracts.
Channel TV is an APC to station let us not forget.
Handing over note that does not contain near exact figures. Where is that done?
