His Excellency Peter Gregory Obi, is one Governor who never loved blowing his trumpet while in public service.

Nwilo complained of the lack of equipment back home, Obi asked him to draw a list for a heart centre and wrote a cheque of ₦ 1bn and that began the journey to one of the best cardiac center in Nigeria currently.

The fact that Peter Obi convinced Dr Nwilo to return home from his well paying US practice is testament to the fact that Peter Obi draws influence and attract & work with the best brains when elected president.
While his peers would usually use their last few weeks in office to steal what they can, Peter Obi was neck deep trying to solve his people’s problems and leaving many more lasting legacies.
