Former governor of Anambra state Peter Obi has stated that the reason cost of governance in Nigeria was as high as it currently is is because government officials were unable to curb wasteful spending that contributes no economic value Nigeria's economic growth or the development of its citizenry.

“What contributed to my success as the governor of Anambra State was because I decided at great personal discomfort, to shut down areas that were not necessary, which helped us to reduce the cost of governance. Generally, governance costs so much in Nigeria and if our leaders are able to reduce the money spent in unnecessary things such as keeping many guests houses, keeping many aides that are not necessary, keeping long convoys, staying in costliest hotels, chartering planes when not absolutely necessary, servicing politicians that do not add value to the society, engaging in Epicurean life, among other indulgences, they will have enough money to do the necessary things.”
