Like the last three government before it, the present governor of Anambra state in the person of willie obiano has been very busy – doing absolutely nothing for the improvement of the state. A state with hard working men and women driven by desire and passion to excel in their fields of endeavor. An Anambra based journalist once said that “the present governor is sitting on gold chair and foundation casted by his predecessor enjoying state funds on frivolities.” I have to agree by that assertion and even more. Anambra state has in the past been known as a state commercially poised to be the best in sub-Saharan Africa. With this great feat comes a challenge that needs to be tackled so the status quo can remain. Such challenge comes in the form of security lapses, bad or non existing basic infrastructures, social vices, hooliganism and cultism among others. The present government is saddled with the responsibility of seeing to perfection, the opposite of these challenges; but reverse is the case. So much noise and hype has been made in the media about improvement in securing the lives and properties of people living in the state. I throw out a challenge to anyone who is willing though, to oppose me with facts, that in terms of security, positive change has been achieved. Cultism and cult related killings are on the rise in the state. Just the other day, three able bodied young men were gunned down at the Obosi-Nkpor axis of the state by cultists; even more and heinous killings have occurred. To nip such ugly development in the bud, the authorities need to re-orientate the youths on the ills of cultism. Also, secret agents should be drafted into those Red areas to furnish the appropriate authorities with detailed information – as they unfold. The issue of Agriculture in the state is moribund, as no vital agricultural policy has been initiated by the present government since inception into office. The man at the helms of affairs takes pleasure in media propaganda and public deception. We were all aware of the recent hype and falsehood being peddled in the media about the state exporting vegetables to foreign countries and earning forex for the nation; and the mass production of rice. The government thrives in such propaganda. Until the Willie Obiano led government begins to focus on revitalizing the Agricultural sector through policy reforms and provision of Agricultural grants, we will continue to see food – just on the pages on newspapers and televisions. I implore Obiano to go learn such from his northern counterparts. There has been varying degrees of protest in the state on reforms targeted at destabilizing the livelihoods of its citizens. Recently, the fruits and vegetables traders at Upper Iweka in Onitsha has been in the news protesting of the ill treatments meted to them by the government. Their nightmare started when the government, in the name of cleaning the state, relocated the market and chased the traders to a new site at Atani in Ogbaru Local government area of the state, without putting in place, structures to house the traders. On a visit to the new site of the market by our correspondent, nothing could be seen on ground in terms of development. No physical structure is on ground, except for the fence and gate put in place by the local government authorities and the market executive. The issue of multiple and over taxation as being witnessed in this regime is well enough to make any true business entity seek for relief elsewhere. During the first quarter of the year, there was a stern warning by Banks and other financial institutions operating in the state to the government, threatening to go on strike if it does not rescind its policy geared at extorting huge sums from them – all in the name of tax. The poor traders in the state are feeling the heat the most, as they must comply with the wicked directive; else, their daily source of feeding and livelihood will be shut down. From Eke Awka to Oye Nimo, from Ose to Akuora, the story remains the same; people are compelled to fund the lavish lifestyle of the chief executive. Pure water hawkers, okada men, barrow pushers, artisans all inclusive in this excessive show of shame by the government. I urge those in charge of policy making to take into consideration, the plight of the common man. These people should be considered first; not just during elections and electioneering period. Willie Obiano is indeed a square peg in a round hole. Mr Obiano should get his acts together and strive to make the state great. He should surround himself with intellects and not the vultures hovering around him, to scavenge on the commonwealth of the state.

I don't think Ndi Anambra will fall for APC scam.
If Ngige is too proud of his party, let him point at one Federal project that he has brought to Anambra that will help him oust Obiano.

Any other party can win Anambra but not APC.

who's ngige?

ngige should first resign as minister then contest

I'll be glad to see him loose both the election and the minister position.


to Obiano no grudges but am beginning to hate him because of his useless bastards media team like nonsobaba am sure he cannot afford to provoke anambarians sentimentaly because that's what people like ngige did that rendered them useless in anambra politics.

Obiano needs to review his media team and tell them to focus on selling him online instead of creating unnecessary hatred among igbos.

proudly ezigbo onye onicha
proudly Anambarian

my fear is that what happened in rivers might replicate itself in Anambra,they might use federal might to disconcert other parties

My Estate Owner should become the Governor of Anambara... Prince Ukachukwu

Holla

..

Atiku2019:
My Estate Owner should become the Governor of Anambara... Prince Ukachukwu

who is ukachukwu when we have the likes of peter obi



is it constitutionally right for him to contest again ?

APC winning Anambra be like Nigeria having uniterrupted power supply. Both will never happen.

apc can never win anambra but obiano is under performing compared to Peter obi plus over taxation and he's widely seen as a drunk and chronic womanizer.anambra election would be highly interesting as another pdp or another party might win depending on the strength of their candidate. pro biafra sentiments is against apc and might likely work against obiano.

Ngige is my role model but he will be making a mistake if he think that him being a minister n APC the presidency then Ndi Anambra is now APC and will vote him.He had better forget about governorship and remain a minister

over taxation?




i thought he abolished taxes....he said" In response to their plight we came up with an
Economic Stimulus Package that seeks to make critical
interventions in four broad areas, namely – the Tax
Relief Programme, the Special Intervention Programme
for Small and Medium Enterprises, the Social
Intervention Programme for Low Income Households and
finally the Intervention in Infrastructure-for-Jobs.
Madam Speaker and Honourable Lawmakers, in pursuit
of this, we effected the following:
We suspended collections of wheelbarrow and hawkers
taxes across all markets in the State.
We suspended the sale of consolidated emblems across the
State.
We reduced taxes for Okada and Keke riders to N50
and N200, respectively.
We banned all illegal levies across all Government owned
primary and secondary schools in the State.
We offered employment to over 250 physically challenged
graduates into the State Civil Service.
Through our Partnership with United Nations
Development Program, we trained and empowered 200
persons living with disabilities.
We provided low interest facilities totalling N1.5bn
through Anambra State Small Business Agency to support
Small-Medium Enterprises and Micro enterprises. We
have also reached advanced stages in our quest for
additional funding to scale up our efforts in this regard.
We catalysed domestic productivity and are creating jobs
and stimulating our local economy across 181
communities in the State through our highly applauded
N3.6bn Community-Choose-a-Project Programme."

if you believe Ngige is better than obiano,why do think he can't win.......are we voting for parties or individuals ?

Ngige can never, will never ever govern Anambra state.

Even if he's ordained by the pope.

His time in Anambra politics is over and out..

And he knows...

Apc just want to test their popularity in the east to prepare for. 2019 rigging. But they've failed.

Oh mpa is still hanging on his gun at bridge head.
So long that stature is there..APGA will keep ruling the state.
