In furtherance of his consultations with the Peoples Democratic Party stakeholders all over the country, former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has visited Bauchi, Borno and Gombe States on Sunday 8th May 2022.
He also met with delegates of Yobe State, who joined their Borno State counterparts in Maiduguri for the consultation.
Obi, who took time to visit the tomb of Mallam Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, while in Bauchi, said though he was about five years old when the first Prime Minister died, it was worthwhile to pay tribute to the memory of such people that sacrificed for the country.
Speaking on reckless borrowing that has become the hallmark of present-day Nigeria, Obi said though Balewa was the first to borrow, it was clearly to build Kainji Dam.
Calling for his emulation, he said that nothing was bad with borrowing, but that it should be specifically for production as Balewa did and not for consumption as the country witnesses today.
