Kept
The promise
Promised prudent, savings-focused fiscal management for Anambra State.
Assessment
Established Anambra as the first Nigerian state to run a sub-sovereign wealth savings programme — the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa — leaving over $150 million in accumulated savings by the end of the tenure.
Kept
The promise
Promised to run a state with no unpaid obligations.
Assessment
By the end of the tenure the administration reported no unpaid pensions, no unpaid gratuities, no salary arrears and no pending contractor bills; the Debt Management Office rated Anambra the least-indebted state in Nigeria, and the Senate rated it the most financially stable.
Kept
The promise
Promised improved healthcare delivery for Anambra residents.
Assessment
Built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are performed, and the state won a $1 million Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation award as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East.
Kept
The promise
Implicit in the constitutional guarantee of a full elected term.
Assessment
Survived an impeachment in November 2006 that the Court of Appeal later overturned for procedural flaws, and won a landmark Supreme Court ruling in June 2007 establishing that his four-year term ran from when he actually took office in March 2006 — extending his first term to March 2010 rather than the 2003-based calendar the state had been using, a precedent that shaped tenure disputes in several other states.
