His understanding of Climate change is planting of Tree and dredging even in the face of dwindling cash flow.

Let truth be told that when Peter Obi finally emerged as governor of Anambra state, he met a thoroughly destroyed economy with zero cash flow. The government house had already been destroyed due to the struggle between Chris Ngige and the godfather politicians of Anambra State.
Yet in eight years, Obi built one of the richest state economies in Nigeria by taming insecurity, making the state work and finally leaving behind, the most resilient cash balance of over 100 million naira and other assets when he handed over to his successor.
There were no outstanding debts, and salary payments were up to date.
Many states could not boast of such records. There are even states where the governors are still hell bent on borrowing, just less than six months to handover date in for instance, a Niger Delta State, it is believed.
So where is the story of dwindling cash in such a candidate that Ilesanmi is talking about ?
Here are some responses to his tweet.
Climate change refers to effect of climate change which includes deforestation and floods. Melting Ice in Northpole increases sea level and leads to flooding in Europe, North America etc. So Obi is correct with planting trees and dredging our rivers.

On climate change, those are basic things to help climate change if you didn't know sir. How much do u need to plant trees as you mentioned dwindling cash flow? He mentioned that CC is not limited to Nigeria and he will follow standard practices as given to combat it.

Obi never stopped talking about the huge potential in the North. In essence, he is consistent in talking about the challenges and potentials in the region, now let's your candidate also answer questions like obi 1hours🤗

Andy Fire @Andykk6 also replied to @silesanmi64_b saying,
“Planting of trees was one of the solutions a company in Bauchi state suggested to this administration in 2018 and that was not taken.
The result of that is clear.
Do you know how deep we’ve eaten into our Forest? Please say things you have done enough research on”.
