The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Victor Oye, has said that former Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, performed impressively while in office for eight years and should be allowed to take his “deserved rest” after serving the people of the state.

Oye stated this on Friday in a chat with The PUNCH while reacting to the arrest of the 66-year-old ex-governor by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The APGA chairman warned the anti-graft agency to stop the witch-hunt of Obiano and allow him to take his “deserved rest” anywhere he chose to have it.

Oye, in a text response to an inquiry by our correspondent, described the arrest of Obiano as “no big deal”

The APGA chairman added, “Chief Willie Obiano as governor performed impressively and the whole world acknowledges it. Let the witch-hunt stop and let the man have his deserved rest after years of quality service to his people.”

The PUNCH had reported that EFCC operatives picked up Obiano at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, around 08:30pm.

The ex-governor, who had been on the watch list of the EFCC since November 15, 2021, was arrested while trying to board a flight to the United States.

Obiano was arrested just at the expiration of his immunity, barely hours after handing over to his successor, Charles Soludo, in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

The arrest occurred hours after his wife was reportedly slapped by the widow of the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Bianca at the inauguration of Soludo as the governor of the state.

It was learnt that Obiano was arrested for allegedly mismanaging over N17bn Paris Club refund and security vote.

He is also being probed over some suspicious projects, including the Umueri International Airport project whose cost was believed to be inflated.

The case EFCC will still loose at the supreme court.
Where is Fayose of Ekiti?

In as much as I support EFCC probing Obiano I will like them to extend the same courtesy to the bullion van Iragbiji opolo eyed thief Tinubu who stole and is still stealing from the south west states

Okay

U go soon join him

EFCC itself is corrupt, all the money they have been recovering from looters.....where is it?



Try Jagaba and get ur ass out of that office





Guys wey no get girlfriend get peace of mind

EFCC abeg catch the thief

You see their hypocrisy. They are the ones that are more loud to call out Tinubu, Aregbeshola and other governors for spurious allegations of stealing, calling EFCC to probe them but when it comes to their own they cry fowl.

But he did some reasonable projects in his tenures

APGA should distance themselves from this drunkard who looted the state treasury for 8 years.. a life imprisonment is what he deserves, Including his wife

They should leave Obi Pandora the criminal of Anambra and head to Lagos.

They should leave the coward Obi fugitive that stole Anambra state dry to finance his offshore business and take their bus to faraway Lagos?

Does that mean Anambla is inconsequential?

I stand with Apga on this one

Why should he go and rest in USA why not in Anambra state.... what is pursuing him out of Anambra state....do he wants to go and rest with the looted Anambra money at USA

nauto:
Why running

Weneko:
He is not clean, hence the reason he flee

He has finished his job and moreover he doesn't have personal residence in Nigeria
He residents in US
He came down from US to serve his people and was on his way back to US after his tenure before they pick him up

Obiano is having watery beans for dinner.

if EFCC can't investigate Atiku with all the atrocities he committed as a VP, na Tinubu them go arrest?


Arrest get class and level


Obiano might be a thief but he made impact but he's not politically smart, he shouldn't have attempt to leave immediately, he should have just visit the EFCC office like fayose for questioning and will be given permission to return to his apartment in Nigeria

Impressive performance?

He is not clean, hence the reason he flee

It is bad that our leaders are focused on looting us non-stop

It is bad that this swift arrest might not be replicated if he was a northerner

It is bad that as bad as our current situation is as a country, majority of the masses will still be foolish come next election

It is bad. It is so bad

Thank God I'm a successful trader, and I trade for top proprietary firms. So I gat nothing on me

Provide evidence that he looted, even the useless EFCC don’t have any evidence. Obiano remains the best Anambra Governor ever whether fools like you like it or not, no one is falling for the arranged EFCC scam
