Peter Obi’s Govt Used ‘Fraud’ To Boost Anambra Ranking In NECO, Top Critic Alleges

Twitter was shaking on Thursday morning after one-time leading fan of Peter Obi turned vicious critic, Reno Omokri attacked the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate of using fraud to enhance the state’s position as the country’s number one state in education while he was governor.

Omokri who had in the past hailed Obi as the best presidential material in the country has in recent months been vicious finding fault in everything he does. Omokri who served in the Goodluck Jonathan administration had at the same time also condemned Asiwaju Bola Tinubu but has since turned around to be a leading defender of the actions and inactions of the president.

Videos of his past assertions hailing Obi and at the same time casting malicious claims on Tinubu are being dug up by his critics, mostly Obidients to reference what they claim as his political inconsistencies.

In a post early on Thursday, alleging that the Peter Obi government used fraud to promote the ranking of Anambra State in NECO exams, he said:

Anambra did not become number one in NECO exams because Peter Obi invested in education. Rather, the state, under Peter Obi, had become notorious as the headquarters for exam fraud in Nigeria. That was why when Peter Obi’s tenure ended in March 2014, his successor, Willie Obiano, closed down 486 exam malpractice centres in July 2014, that had been established and were flourishing under Peter Obi around the state. That was Peter’s legacy in education.

And that is why Anambra gradually lost its top position in NECO after Obi’s tenure. Because succeeding governors refused to continue along those lines. For example, last year, Adamawa even outperformed Anambra. The secret was not any investment Obi was making in the education sector, because the truth is that Peter Obi was more focused on building beer breweries for Anambra than schools. The secret was the exam magic malpractice centres.

GWG.ng reports that the post has been trailed by several reactions with many accusing Reno Omokri of eating his words on both Peter Obi and President Tinubu
