Campaigned on tackling crime and criminality in Anambra, building on the security gains of the Peter Obi era.

The administration invested in security-agency welfare and equipment and operated the Anambra Vigilance Group under a 2014 vigilante law, though insecurity, including kidnapping, remained a recurring concern through the tenure.

Promised improved education outcomes and infrastructure for Anambra schools.

The administration built 1,000-room hostels across 12 technical colleges and re-equipped 60 secondary-school science laboratories, coinciding with a rise in university admission qualification rates from 38% to 64%.

Promised accessible, quality healthcare delivery for Anambra residents.

Established the Anambra State Health Insurance Agency (ASHIA) and refurbished facilities including Orumba General Hospital.

Promised to deliver an airport and convention centre to boost Anambra's investment profile.

The Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport and an international convention centre were built during the tenure.

Promised improved access to appellate justice for the state.

A Court of Appeal division was established in Awka during the administration.

Promised to eliminate leakages and grow IGR, targeting an 80% increase to about ₦2.2 billion a month early in the tenure.

NBS figures show Anambra's annual IGR rising from roughly ₦14.79 billion in 2015 to about ₦28 billion in 2020, a real increase though short of some of the administration's own targets in individual years.

Campaigned on prudent, accountable use of state resources including security votes.

Hours after leaving office in March 2022, Obiano was arrested by the EFCC and later arraigned on a nine-count charge alleging he withdrew ₦4 billion from the state's security-vote account within 24 hours in 2017.
