Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has cited the need to take development further to the grassroots in the state as well as to complete pending projects for seeking a second term.



Obiano who spoke to journalists in Abuja on Friday shortly after returning his nomination form for the governorship ticket of the All Progressives (APGA) said that the state government was bankrolling both the cost of treating the injured and burial of dead victims of the attack.

Speaking further on why he was running for a second term, Obiano said he wanted to institutionalise the achievements he had made in his first term and to actualise some ongoing projects like the Anambra airport which he assured was going to come on stream in two years.

According to him, in less than three years, every town in Anambra state had experienced government’s presence to the tune of N40 million.

He said that his target was that by the time he had done eight years in office, every town in Anambra would have very significantly improved on their infrastructure.

The governor who expressed confidence at the possibility of clinching victory at the poll, said virtually all major in the state had been lighted up and beautified.

He said that so far his, government had achieved 66% target in internally generated revenue.

“In agriculture, the state is doing very well and has attained self-sufficiency in rice production. We consume 320,000 metric tonnes and now we produce 375,000 metric tonnes per annum, from 80,000 metric tonnes when we assumed office.

What I want to leave behind as my legacy when I leave office after eight years is to ensure that Anambra state is self-sufficient in the its revenue sources so that we will not have to be waiting for Abuja to run the affairs of governance,” he said.

He opined that agriculture was the major employer of Labour in Anambra State.

fvck off 1diot. obi anuofia

My main guy talking, haters gonna have a field day here

This should be the roadmap of every serious working governor, If your IGR cant be sufficient to pay all state workers, then you failed as a govenor.

There is no state in this country that doesn't have either natural and human resources to generate enough IGR to pay at least salaries

The Technocratic Obiano can make it happen.

Hmmm... Just imagine! He has already given himself eight years in office.
