A stakeholder in Anambra State, Mr Pascal Candle has bemoaned over the alleged financial injustice in APGA, especially under Governor Willie Obiano administration.

In his words, “It is no doubt that Anambra Election is taking place this year. There are a lot of issues begging for answers. There are lot of secrecy surrounding Local Government funds in Anambra State.

In this Series, I will look at the funds that came into the State for the Local Government Areas and we place it side by side with developments in each Local Government Area in the State. As we all know, Anambra State has 21 Local Government Areas, namely: Aguata, Anambra East, Anambra West, Anaocha, Awka North, Awka South, Ayamelum, Dunukofia, Ekwusigo, Idemili North, Idemili South, Ihiala, Njikoka, Nnewi North, Nnewi South, Ogbaru, Onitsha North, Onitsha South, Orumba North
Orumba South and Oyi.

I will focus on each Local Government Area and the amount each Local Government received. In Each of these Local Government Area, I will look at the communities in those Local Government Areas and how the funds meant for them have brought much needed developments in their Area.

Ndi Anambra, it might interest you all to know that Anambra State Government received an Average of N36.7bn yearly as Local Government Allocations. Each Local Government on the Average received over N12bn for 7years and Each Local Government gets an Average of N1bn yearly and Each LG gets an Average of N100m monthly. But what is going on now is that Transition Chairmen get an average of N5m monthly to cover their overhead and I ask, where is the balance? What are they being used for? Ndi Anambra! Nkea Abuzikwa Nkea Anyi? This scam must stop. To add insult to Ndi Anambra sensibility, APGA led Government introduced 20 Million Community choose your project. In this series, we will still analyse the impact of this 20 million naira on those local Communities and how it impacted positively on the people. Ndi Anambra, where is your Local Government funds. Who is with the Billions meant for Local government. This scam must stop. Let me take Aguata Local Government Area.

In this years Election, Aguata Local government Area has almost 5 to 6 Aspirants contesting this election. amongst them is Mr Afam Ezenwafor (Afamation) of National Rescue Mission, Chief Valentine Ozigbo of PDP, Senator Andy Uba of APC, Hon Jerry of Boot Party, Prof Soludo of APGA amongst others.

Aguata Local Government Area has these towns: Ekwulobia, Akpo, Achina, Uga, Igbo-Ukwu, Isuofia, Umuchu, Aguluezechukwu, Ezinifite, Ikenga, Amesi, Oraeri, Umuona, Nkpologwu. (Please if I miss any town, draw my attention,apologies).

It is no doubt that Aguata Local Government Area has produced many prominent Nigerians, sons and daughters, Captains of Industry, intellectuals etc.

However, this great Local Government has been a shadow of it’s own with no visible achievement. Ekwulobia Urban City has been a shadow of it’s own. To connect to communities in Aguata local Government is more of a nightmare. The question on the minds of the people, what happened to the funds meant for the development of Aguata Communities.

The Year 2014, Aguata Local Government area received N2,632,690,293. 39 under this APGA Government of Governor Obiano.

The Year 2015, the same Aguata Local Government area received N2,059,917,188. 65 under this APGA Government of Governor Obiano.

The Year 2016, Aguata Local Government area received N1,680,529,655.93 under this APGA Government of Governor Obiano.

The Year 2017, Aguata Local Government area received N2,108,605,764. 30 under this APGA Government of Governor Obiano.

The Year 2018, Aguata Local Government area received N2,797,741,695. 17 under this APGA Government of Governor Obiano.

The Year 2019, Aguata Local Government area received N2,682,009,692. 82 under this APGA Government of Governor Obiano.

The Year 2020, Aguata Local Government area received N2,607,351,331.60 under this APGA Government of Governor Obiano.

The Total Amount Aguata Local Government area collected from the Federal Allocation between 2014 and 2020 is N14,199,845,621.86.

The question is, did this amount reflected on the development of Aguata Local Government area? The answer is No. Many Towns in Aguata like Ikenga Town has no access road to the town, no functional Government Hospital. No single road was constructed for the good people of Igbo-ukwu, the home town of Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, no single road for Aguluezechukwu and many other towns.

Out of this billions, Transition Chairmen in Anambra State received just N5 Million every month. so in a year, they receive N60 Million by 7 seven years, that is N480 Million Naira of the Total sum of over N14 Billion naira.

What is the rationale behind community choose your project? While this APGA Government in their usual Scam give each community in Aguata Local Government N20 Million. Multiply it by 14 towns which is N280 Million. This money was shared twice. So you have N560 Million. When you add it up to the total being collected by Tranaition Chairmen, You will get N840 Million.

So, out of these N14 Billion meant for Aguata People, what reached them was N840 Million. We will like Ndi Aguata in each community to bring forth those projects executed in their various communities by this APGA led Government. Yet, Prof. Soludo who is from Aguata is telling us it is not broken. If Anambra is not broken, what are you coming to do.

Is it not obvious that Ndi Anambra entered one chance with APGA? Is it not obvious that nke abughi Nke Ndi Anambra? Is it not obvious that this State has been raped financially between 2014 and 2020 all in the name of Igbo Party? In all these, I didn’t add up Local Internal Generated Revenue in these Local Governments.

The Next Local Government in focus now is Anambra East Local Area. which is Governor Obiano Local Government Area?

Many Traditional Rulers, President Generals, Youth Leaders, Religious Leaders have kept quiet over this Local Government funds because they are part of the rotten system. They prefer APGA to continue so that those little benefits will continue to grease their palms.

Ndi Anambra, know your enemies. Do not be deceived by Nke bu Nke anyi scam or Party Ojukwu. They have destroyed our collective faith in Ojukwu Legacy for their selfish gain. Never again will such happen. Say No to APGA.

Afam Ezenwafor is the man to vote for. Let us do it differently.
