WILLIE OBIANO MUST NOT RETURN TO ANAMBRA STATE AS A GOVERNOR. PLS SHARE THIS POST

I have been reliably informed that the drunkard and greatest killer of Bianfrans by name Willie Obiano is sharing N20million per town in Anambra state for him to be voted for in his re-election bid.

Already Nawfia and Awka have collected their share of the loot (N20million) from killer-Obiano. But we IPOB promise killer-Obiano that he will never win the election. Not after shedding the blood of Biafrans

CHINO ARE YOU THERE? By Vincent Ujumadu, Godwin Oritse, Wahab Abdullah Ikechukwu Nnochiri & Enyim Enyim

Thirty-two retired judges, including five retired state Chief Judges in Anambra State, led by Justice Godwin Ononiba (retd), have dragged Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano, to the National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Awka for non-payment of their severance gratuity, upward review of pensions, arrears of housing allowances and overall welfare.

The action of the retired judges drew the praises of some senior lawyers, including Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, Yusuf Ali, SAN, Femi Falana, SAN, and others, who commended them for using the instrumentality of the law to fight their cause. The development came on a day 126 former supervisors, who served in the various local government areas of Anambra State until their dissolution in August this year, demanded a severance package of N1.2 billion from Governor Willie Obiano. Of the 32 retired judges, 13 of them are dead, while 19 are still alive, including five former chief judges.

The former retired chief judges are G.U. Ononiba, C.J. Okoli, Nri-Ezedi, E.A. Nzegwu, and P.A.C Obidigwe who were members of the Association of Retired Judges of Anambra State. Part of the suit read: “You are hereby commanded that within fourteen days after the service of this complaint on you, inclusive of the day of such service, you do cause an appearance to be entered for you in an action at the suit of HON. JUSTICE G.U. ONONIBA C.J. (Rtd) & 31 Ors, and take note that in default of your so doing, the claimants may proceed therein, and judgement may be given in your absence.

The claimants are praying the court for: “A declaration that each of the 1st-19th claimants and each of the estates of the 20th to 2nd claimants are entitled to be paid severance gratuities based on 300% of each claimant’s annual basic salary while in active service. “A declaration that each of the 1st to 19th claimants and each of the estates of the 20th to 32nd claimants are entitled to be paid housing allowances per annum and in the tune of 200% of each claimant’s annual basic salary. “A declaration that the 1st defendant does not have the power to amend, alter or vary the provisions of an Act of the National Assembly and in particular the “certain political, public and judicial office holders (salaries and allowances, etc) (Amendment) Act No. 1 of 2008 which took effect from 1st February, 2007” “A declaration that each of the 1st – 19th claimants and each of estates of the 20th to 32nd claimants is entitled to an upward review of each of the claimant’s pension in line with Section 210(3) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“An order of court directing the defendants to pay to the 1st-19th claimants and the estates of 20th-32nd claimants forthwith their severance gratuities, based on 300% of annual basic salary of each of the claimants while in active service. “An order of court directing the defendants to pay the 1st-19th claimants and the estates of the 20th to 32nd claimants forthwith the arrears of their housing allowances based on 200% of their annual basic salary. “An order of court directing the defendants to recompute the pensions and gratuities of the claimants based on 200% of their annual basic salaries as housing allowance. “An order of court directing the defendants to pay to the claimants the arrears of their respective pension and gratuities from the withheld 100% of their annual basic salary as housing allowance.

“An order of court directing the defendants to pay to each of the 1st-19th claimants and the estates of the 20th to 32nd claimants all the balance and arrears of their pensions which would have accrued to them had the pensions been reviewed upward in line with the provision of the constitution and the directives of the salaries and wages commission.” The retired judges (claimants) stated that they had at different times meritoriously and successfully served as judges of the Anambra State High Court and Customary Court of Appeal but were forgotten and abandoned without payment of their due benefits, allowances and entitlements.

The Association of the Retired Judges was formed pursuant to the directive of the Chief Justice of Nigeria in a letter addressed to all judges, dated July, 10, 2010. The claimants averred that they had on May, 5, 2016, issued and served on the defendants, through the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, and the office of the 2nd defendant respectively, the three months mandatory notice of intention to institute the legal action against them, adding that no response came from them.

Reactions:

Ozekhome
Reacting to the development, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, said: “This is a good omen. For the first time in the history of this country, judges can pick up courage to drag a government to court over unpaid gratuities and pension. It is a shame that such senior citizens had to resort to the court to get their constitutional right. “It is also a shame they can be subjected to this kind of treatment over pensions and gratuities. Before now, they could not talk while they were in service and with their action, they are also speaking for serving judges.”

Falana Femi
Falana, SAN, said: “The legal action is in order. The government cannot successfully fight judicial corruption if retired judges are owed pension for months. “You are simply telling serving judges to take care of the raining day by engaging in corrupt practices. The Anambra State Government and others involved in the illegality should pay the outstanding pension of retired judges.”

Yusuf Ali SAN
Ali said: “Yes, what they have done is right, except you want them to take laws into their hands, which expectedly they won’t do. These are the people who have worked and are getting old. Do you want them to die before enjoying the fruits of their labour? It is sad. For me, what government is doing in this clime is unexpected, if it is true. We only wish they pay them and not allow them to wait for court judgment before receiving their pension.”

Otteh
Joseph Otteh, Executive Director, Access to Justice, said: “No one should be owed pension, whether judges, doctors or messengers. This situation shows that anyone can be a victim of government’s neglect and failings. But this can have a serious, predictable effect on judicial independence as some judges might feel they need to stack up money during service for raining days of lack. Anambra State government should immediately pay up all retirees their entitlements.”

In its reaction, the National Judicial Council, NJC, yesterday, said it only had the mandate to pay pension to retired federal judicial officers. Though the Council explained that such judges were entitled to receive their benefits from the state government, it, however, declined to officially react to the development, stressing that it would amount to sub-judice since the case was already in court.

A top source at the NJC, who pleaded anonymity, said: “We have paid salaries of all judges in the country serving in federal courts. “Likewise, when they retire, we only pay pension to those that were in federal courts. So it is the state that is responsible for the payment of pension of judges that served under them. “Meanwhile since the matter is already in court. I think it will be better to allow the court to make the interpretation. I cannot say anything more on the issue as such action will be sub-judice.”

Ex LG supervisors demand N1.2b severance package

Meanwhile, 126 former supervisors, who served in the various local government areas of Anambra State until their dissolution in August this year, have demanded a severance package of N1.2 billion from Governor Willie Obiano. The former supervisors were appointed by their elected local government chairmen as provided under Section 72 of the Anambra State House of Assembly Law, 2012. In a letter addressed to the governor after their meeting in Awka, yesterday, the ex supervisors threatened to drag the secretary of the state Joint Action Committee, JAC, Mr.

Tony Oli, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for allegedly misappropriating funds meant for the payment of their severance allowances. Oli could not be reached at press time, but the ex supervisors said he told them when they visited his office that he had no business with them.

The letter was signed by the chairman of the ex supervisors’ forum, Mr. Chijioke Eruchalu, the secretary, Mr. Cliff Nneli and the coordinator, Mr. Cajethan Okafor. The letter read in part: “In view of this, we therefore plead with you to redress all the anomalies. We believe that as our father, we will get a favourable response so that we won’t feel left out and abandoned after serving our state diligently, in spite of the hard times.”

This is the current state of Federal Polytechnic Oko students at Atani campus (Computer Science and Maths & Stats department) in Ogbaru local Government area of Anambra state.
ANAMBRA ENTERED ONCE CHANCE BUS OBIANO OR OBIAKPO WHERE ARE YOU

The Students of this campus have been lamenting, crying for help of the Government and also the school authorities to come to their rescue for what they describe as modern day slavery all in name of Education.

For about two months now, the students and indigenes of Akili-Ozizor, Senator Stella Oduah’s home community has been in darkness and no hope of light seem coming in next few months because Senator Oduah who normally pays the community light kind of backed out and EEDC disconnected the community light for some months now.

According to one of the students we spoke to, He said “the light situation is really affecting the students academically cus they can’t read or do anything with their laptops because this campus is 90% computer science students”

“We are now calling on Governor Obiano and our school Rector to come and rescue us from this suffering because we have suffered enough. No light, No network, We are now like abandoned children in the forest” The students said

For those of you saying that I should stop calling out Willie obiano. If I say Willie is a failure do not argue , just believe me.
The picture depicts a the quality and current state of the road Willie constructed and commissioned at UMUNACHI 3months ago.
The quality and standard are not only limited to umunachi. This is the standard endorsed by Willie for road construction across the state.

This road was constructed in NOVEMBER 2016, just 3months now and the road is already dilapidated.

we are yet to enter rainy season but the coal tare has washed off.
Very reprehensible. I am appalled.
LATER someone will be advocating for continuity,
what are continuing?
Substandard road?
Poor health system ?
Frivolous government ?
Propaganda?

Ndi Anambra : We are putting forward a vision and a plan for a cleaner, fairer, smarter Anambra in 2017
For three long years we have watched the APGA Government under Willie Obiano take Anambra in the wrong direction.
We are the tiny State that can move on our own, but we have been held back for three years by a vision-less Government that just won’t.
Willie Obiano & today's APGA Government had been bad for Anambra; they treated our rivers and lakes like dumping grounds; they’ve driven 35,000 more kids into poverty.
The state’s pollution profiles have destroyed our economy more, imagine our Onitsha being the most polluted city in the world!
Their negligence in government have delivered more environmental degradation, low wages, disease spread and missed opportunities too numerous to mention in Anambra.
How un-ambitious for some Anambra people to talk about risking another 4 years with Williie and his team.
Well, my friends, the Crusade for Real Change team has much, much greater plans for Anambra.
Next Election Day, we shall take our beautiful, lovable Anambra back from Aguleri.
The CRC shall campaign in this election on a three-fold promise - a Cleaner, Fairer, Smarter Anambra.
Our plan is for an Anambra where every one of our kids has enough to thrive in a cleaner Anambra, and where our economy is robust and innovative and works for everyone.
That is the promise that we have made to Anambra.
And that is the promise we will deliver upon in Government.
The CRC team is in good heart and great spirits - just look at our alternative candidates who could do better than these confused political-toddlers handling Anambra affairs now.
Willie Obiano's team have allowed Anambra to decay,that is not my kind of team.
We're a team of highly competent equals, full of integrity, honesty and an abiding love for Anambra.
While Willie Obiano and his political party have fought, floundered,fluctuated and fudged Anambra people, the CHANGE team shall go on with doing what we know how to do best - putting forward a vision and a plan for a cleaner, fairer, smarter Anambra.

I will tackle Nanka gully erosion slide and other erosion slides in Anambra state; Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah APC governorship candidate.

In Anambra state , we have over 500 erosion sites across 177 towns of the state . I grew up and started hearing about Nanka Gully erosion. As a student in Anambra State, our teachers used Nanka gully erosion as a case study to teach us the threats erosion poses to the society.

Now , am over 40 and Nanka gully erosion is still there and even extending to other towns as its threat remain a nightmare. Let me state it very clearly that there is apparent solution to the erosion crisis in Anambra towns. This is not about speaking grammar but about what I can achieve within the shortest possible time if we have the instrumentality of the Government at our disposal to solve the problem.

This is Federal Housing Estate Trans Nkisi GRA Onitsha and the gully erosion that has not been widely publicized by the residents nor the nonchalant Landlord Association of the area
This road and some of the buildings there were built by the former head of state Shehu Shagari in the early 80s and since then, no government has deemed it necessary to reconstruct the road if not for anything, for it's strategic importance to the residents of the area.
This road and the gully erosion when fixed will decongest the heavy traffic jam along 3-3 Onitsha - Otuocha axis of highway as the daily morning and evening traffic gridlock recorded on the road is caused by one entrance route to Housing Estate i.e Housing Gate
I therefore decided to make this go viral on social networks so that the attention of our able governor Willie Obiano can be drawn to this imminent ecological danger posed to the residents
I'm hopeful that his aides seeing this will do something and convey this message to the working governor.

WILLIE MESSAGE TO ANAMBRA CONTRACTORS
I read the meeting between Commissioner for Works, Mr. Lawrence Chinwuba and contractors in Anambra State.
I called one of the contractors and he confirmed it to me. He went on to tell me what Mr. Chinwuba told them even when the contractors grumbled of so much debt owed them.
The words of Mr. Chinwuba:
“I was directed by His Excellency, Gov. Willie Obiano to call this meeting. We all know how difficult things are. We are aware that we are owing you, but it is being looked into. Please, Akpokue has directed that I should appeal and beg you to remain in site at all times except on the 24th, 25th and 1st of January. You know our people are coming back for Christmas, it will be good if they see you on sites as a proof that we are working. He said if need be that I should even kneel down and beg you. You know next year is election year, how much good news about Anambra those that come home spread will go a long way in ensuring our victory for a second tenure. Please, for the sake of politics and election, help us. As you can see, we are putting street light all over the state so that people that come home will marvel at how lit Anambra is. We want to leave up to our name as the “Light Of The Nation”. Please help us. As from the 10th of January, you can go on holidays if you choose”
Law Chinwuba, Commissioner for Works
-----------------------------------
I was not surprised when I heard this. We have always said it that Obiano is just a showman. He is so in love with vain glory, things that feed the eyes and not things that help you and me.
