In the Face of a Global Pandemic, Willie Obiano Choose to Frustrate Ndi-Anambra with Multi-Taxation

It’s very pathetic that when other state governors are giving tax relief and break, the governor of Anambra state who has not been able to prove what he has done with all the money he inherited from his predecessor, is busy imposing tax on traders and locking up markets and businesses.

Presently, Anambra is the least state when it comes to the ease of doing business in the country. It is obvious that Anambra has been on the reverse since the emergence of governor Obiano, traders have been complaining of low patronage due to the harassment their customers face in the hands of state hired louts when they come to buy in Onitsha – most customers from Ondo, Benin, Warri now choose Lagos as the favourite destination for buying.

The high taxation didn’t end with traders, it was as well extended to transporters, like Keke riders, urban mass drivers and others, you wonder why Asaba has taken over transportation hub from Onitsha, it’s due to uneasiness drivers face in Anambra, everyone now prefers to move to Asaba to board a bus.

The most worrisome part of this is that what Mr Obiano has been doing with all these revenues are not visible to eyes. The entire sector is collapsed, bad roads everywhere, dilapidated health institutions, decaying Education and no human capital development, you still wonder why investors are no longer finding Anambra attractive.

Truth is, for the average trader, marketer, rider, driver, farmers, small business owners and so on, Obiano is sitting on their neck and they can’t breathe.

BeeBeeOoh:
Obiano is now a total disgrace to ndi Aguleri, ndi Anambra north senatorial district, ndi Anambra as a state and ndi igbo in general.

TabletMan:
obiano is a failure .

omeke12:
the worst governor since mbafinuju in 2003
.
.
make me weep when I see what Obiano is turning anambra state into
.
state government backed touts and agberos everywhere
.
the other day, I bought some loads of goods at main market, spent up to 5000 on touts and agberos from main market to Awada
.
.
if you don't stay in Anambra, u will never understand how bad Obiano's government is
.
.
no single road in over 8 years now...most roads in Onitsha are getting less motorable by the day... not even 1 road
.
from asaba bridge to main market is now almost 1_hour journey due to unbelievably bad roads
.
in the abyssmal roads, all sorts of government touts and agberos keeps extorting money from Onitsha inhabitants and traders from neighboring states
.
the part that makes me weep is that by next year, he will bow out and will answer to no one about how he made life so difficult for Onitsha and ndi anambra
.
the question I keep asking myself when ever i think about "bad governance in nigeria" is,,,,

"is there hope..?"
.
.
Obiano please let us breathe
its 7 years now..
let us breathe even if its for this last 1 year

Bkayyy:

Nna eh, if failure had a name, Obiano would have been the surname
