Since the controversial November 6th election which INEC drunkenly declared APGA and Charles Soludo winner and Governor elect, the incumbent Governor, HE, Chief Dr. Willie Obiano had since left the country to his base in Huston, US America, for vacation and purpose not related to State assignment or function.


Obaino who travelled through his personalized Umueri Airport often disguised as Anambra Airport did not deem it necessary to transfer power to his Deputy or Speaker of the House of Assembly should the Deputy not also available, rather he left for his ego trip with the Power of the State to far away Huston leaving Anambra State without leadership and on auto pilot.


This is sad, absurd and brazen flaunt of his Oath to abide by the provisions of the constitution for the duration of his stay in the office of the Governor.


More painful is his inability to notify the State through the House of Assembly about his Vacation which would then allow the House compel him to transfer power before his trip, instead, he neglected both the legislature and Law which he swore to abide by.


In Section 190(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) clearly provides that whenever a governor is embarking on a vacation, he shall transmit a written declaration to the Speaker of the House of Assembly and the Deputy Governor or the Speaker of the House shall take over the control of governmental affairs as acting Governor.


Given that the Constitution makes it a mandatory condition before embarking on vacation, the governor’s failure, refusal, and or neglect to abide by the sacred constitutional provisions is a rude abuse and gross misconduct that must be checkmated.


Today, we have the Head of service and Secretary to the State Government representing the Governor at most functions and affairs of Governance of the State, when the Deputy is hale, hearty and available to perform his supposed duty as empowered by the law.


In a time of Security concern and other misfortune hitting the State hard, Anambra is without a supremo, everything that connects to the seat of power will be on suspense till the return of Willie Obiano, even if people of the State are dying and need the action of the Office of the Governor in any guise, they would have to die before intervention would surface.


I am not concerned or worried that the Governor ran Abroad in search of Solace, rather his neglect of the provisions of the constitution, his illegal, absurd and criminal abuse of the Office he was elected to occupy.


There’s no part of the Nigerian constitution that availed the Governor the right to leave his primary assignment without transfer of power to either his Deputy or Speaker of the House.


We equally understand his self created difference with his Deputy Governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke who is of the All Progressive Congress Party, APC, but the seat of Anambra State Governor and the constitution of Nigeria is not for Willie Obiano to alter or decide otherwise.



It’s already Yuletide, States with working environment are busy fixing their Roads and Security ahead of the season, but in Anambra, reserve is the case; we today, have the worst Road networks and poorest security in the Nation, but the Governor is rather disinterested in our plight.


The thirty three (33) Billion Naira that was earmarked for massive Roads and Bridge construction in the State as contained in the 2021 state budget seems a hoax and avenue of retiring State funds because there’s nothing to show for that and the budget cycle already elapsed.


The miseries of ndi Anambra are enormous but we have decide to adopt the suffering and smiling lifestyle.


Aside the many insecurity ravaging the State, bad Roads and all, Anambra is on Auto pilot as it currently does not have a Governor.

He's really trying

Obaino who travelled through his personalized Umueri Airport often disguised as Anambra Airport did not deem it necessary to transfer power to his Deputy or Speaker of the House of Assembly should the Deputy not also available, rather he left for his ego trip with the Power of the State to far away Huston leaving Anambra State without leadership and on auto pilot.
