… Says 70 per cent work still undone
From EMMANUEL UZOR, OnitshaThe All Progressives Congress,
(APC) Governorship candidate in the November 16 governorship
elections in Anambra State, Senator Chris Ngige has carpeted
Governor Peter Obi on development since inception of his
administration.
Senator Ngige while addressing journalists at the 302 Artillery
Regiment, Onitsha during induction of new officers to Army
Officers’ Mess said Obi has achieved only seven percent out of
the 100 percent blue print he left in office.
Ngige said he was forced into the race by the poor development
in the state, adding that he did 23 percent out of his blue print
while Obi did only seven percent, making it a total of 30 percent
and maintained that he will complete the remaining 70 percent if
elected.
“Each time I am confronted with this question by journalists of
what I forgot in the government house, I always said that I
forgot something, I forgot my blue print which I wanted to use to
develop Anambra State. I forgot that blue print which has been
abandoned on Governor Peter Obi’s table. I was able to do 23
percent from the blue print while Peter Obi did seven percent in
eight years; that is why I am going back to implement the
remaining 70 percent and develop the state. If other state
governors are not interested in developing their states, I am in a
hurry to develop Anambra State and bring it to the front burner
of the world”.
The Senator further challenged the incumbent governor to come
up with his performance since he assumed office and berated him
for fragrant abuse of the state funds by sharing the common
wealth of the state to individuals for selfish political reasons.
However, Governor Peter Obi swiftly said that Ngige has no moral
justification to judge his performance since he could not bring
development to the state during his short period in office, adding
that his administration has been able to bring the much desired
development to the state.
Governor Obi also accused Ngige of trying to draw the state
backwards through his penchant for violence when government
property and lives were lost, noting that what Anambra State
needs is to continue moving forward to consolidate on
