Anambra Guber-obiano Should Account For Lg,paris Club Funds– Furious Nwoye by Kingsley1000(m): 6:47am On Oct 25, 2017 |
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has been challenged by his opponents to account for the Local Government funds accrued to the state from the federation account. The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Tony Nwoye, threw the challenge during a dinner held in his honour in Lagos at the weekend where he criticised Obiano for failing to conduct LG elections for over three years. He also questioned what the governor has done with the funds meant for LGs which has accrued to the state throughout his first tenure, just as he challenged him to give account of how he expended the funds left behind by his predecessor, the Paris Club funds and the loan of N15 billion which he collected. “Obiano receives councils funds of more than N20 billion from the federal government; he has also received the Paris Club funds of more than N13 billion, yet he gave communities only N20 million each. “If the councils are supposed to receive over 100 million a month, multiply it by 12 calendar months and you will know how much each Council is supposed to get. For the past three years, he has not conducted Council elections, and he does not give the councils up to 20 percent of their monthly allocations. “For instance, in a council like Njikoka where you have Enugu-Ukwu, Nimo, Agulu, Abagana and Nawfia, and the governor gives a big town like Enugu- Ukwu N20 million, where then is the money that Enugu-Ukwu is supposed to get from Local Government funds, and I’m not even talking about the state funds. “Obi swore to an affidavit at the Supreme Court detailing the amount that he left for Obiano and I have the documents to prove. Could Obi have sworn to a false affidavit which can land him in jail? Obiano has squandered the money and now he is claiming that he is giving N20 million to each community which is not up to three percent of the amount that they should ordinarily be getting. “He keeps signing Memorandum of Understanding and says he wants to build an airport in Umuleri while the hospital close to his hometown is in disrepair. My vision is to liberate my people from the bondage in which this administration has put them,” Nwoye said. He also said that one of the reasons he is contesting was to challenge the marginalisation of the South -East and ensure that the state gets what is rightfully theirs. “It is a fact that the South- East has been marginalised but I am here to change all that because I don’t believe that because the Igbo did not vote for APC in 2015 therefore they should be punished. If I become governor, I will ensure that what belongs to us will come to us. I will ensure that some of the federal government policies that affect the Igbo negatively are reversed,” Nwoye said. Meanwhile, the governorship campaign of Nwoye received a boost, at the weekend as prominent supporters of the aggrieved governorship aspirants, Senator Andy Uba and those of Chief Johnbosco Onukwu, joined his team. Their joining the Nwoye and APC campaign team followed a joint meeting convened by Chief Onukwu for the supporters at Umuchu Civic Centre Umuchu, in Aguata council of the state to bring back all the aggrieved members of the party to the fold. Onukwu, said he would head the reconciliatory meeting throughout the communities that makeup the Anambra South Senatorial Distract until the APC candidate emerged victorious on November 18, 2017. source: http://sunnewsonline.com/anambra-guber-obiano-should-account-for-lg-paris-club-funds-nwoye/ |

The only way APC can win Anambra is through rigging and rigging is almost impossible in Anambra state |
