GBAM! I hate the way the Obi people want to continuously demonize Obiano in order to claim his solid achievements as their own!

If Obiano was a failed governor as they had hoped, they would have dissociated themselves from any of his projects! It is clear that the Taraba Governor was just lying through his teeth that Obiano told him mockingly that it was Obi's money that he utilized to build the Anambra Intl. airport! Let's face it, Obiano could never have said that. Remember this false statement was purportedly made during Obiano's second term when his relationship with Obi had become so dreadful. To the contrary, Obiano made it public that he actually inherited about N10 billion naira in the Anambra accounts, but had a liability of more than N110 billion naira in debt owed!

Moreso, another piece of evidence that Obiano never told the Taraba governor that silly lie is that he began building the airport in his 2nd term! At that time, he had a very adverse relationship with Peter Obi due to numerous attacks on his person by the former. Not to mention that if Obi had left anything in the preceding 6.5 years before the airport construction was started by Obiano, that resource would have long been used to complete the Agulu Lake Hotel in his hometown, the Onitsha mall, and numerous roads and bridges abandoned at the time!

Willie Obiano is truly a juggernaut! So he decided not to ruin Obi's chances by coming out in public to expose the lies told by the Taraba governor. I hope Prof Soludo will learn Obiano's method of KEEPING QUIET and WORKING HARD for the progress of the people that elected him instead of writing letters. Ultimately, it is Ndi Anambra that will decide if he did well or not as their governor. Not the faceless social media goons that have no PVC!

Pls stop bringing up the Taraba governor fake news. Obiano has never mentioned he built the airport from any savings.
Obiano has only said he inherited over 100 billion debt!
If the airport had failed glory hunters would have disassociated themselves from it !

*First Anniversary of Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport*

By Paul Nwosu

The First Anniversary of Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport, Umueri is at once a cause for celebration and sober reflection.
It calls for celebration that such a magnificent edifice could be built against all odds, especially as the Covid-19 pandemic raged on and successfully began flight operations on December 7, 2021. The brand new airport built under administration of the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, remarkably recorded 142 flights carrying 3,865 passengers in its first month of operation. The airport has ever since waxed quite strong by serving as a well-facilitated conduit for ferrying passengers ever since its commencement of flight activities. It especially saved the highly itinerant Anambra commerce-oriented people the trouble of having to travel to Asaba, Enugu or Owerri to catch flights to their business destinations.

The sober reflection on Anambra International Airport is that it is as yet a work in progress. The necessary hope is anchored on the multiform plans Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, has in place of turning the airport into an international showpiece for passengers and cargo haulage. Mr. Governors design of an Anambra Emporium for exports bears the imprimatur of the Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport.

Anambra State Commissioner for Transport, Mrs. Patricia Igwebuike has given the promise that regular international flights may commence at the turn of the New Year. She disclosed that discussions are ongoing with some airlines in France, Germany and the United States for the commencement of the international flight operations.
In this busy Christmas season, the domestic passenger airlines, Air Peace and United Nigeria Airline, are busy flying full schedules into and out of Anambra State.

On the planned international front, initial studies have shown that from Anambra to Miami in the USA is just about eight hours of flight time. Transport Commissioner Mrs. Patricia Igwebuike said: We are engaging with the airlines to find out ways we can make it possible for airlines to carry passengers from Anambra to Miami directly.”

It is a universally known fact that commerce is the second name of Ndi-Anambra who are always open for business. Through the airport, Anambra businessmen and women are ready to build relationships and interface with their contemporaries around the world.

On the part of the government, Mrs. Igwebuike stressed: We are also looking for partners from airports around the world. We are new, and the advantage of being new is that we get to do things in line with international best practices. We are looking for investors and experts that will assist us in capacity-building. Also, we want to grow our revenue base.”

The Anambra aviation authorities are in advanced discussions with many local and international airlines, and Commissioner Igwebuike assures that “we are doing things systematically and learning from those who are already in the system. We do not believe in reinventing the wheel.” Mrs. Igwebuike further said: We have engaged with some companies in France, Munich, and now we are engaging the Maimi Dade County. We will seek a partnership or some sort of collaboration. We are going to acquire all the necessary footprints to make ourselves known.”

The grand plan is to make the Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport commercially viable. Through the Anambra Emporium, export revenue will start flowing into the state through the vast riches of exportation via the airport. Being in its first year, the airport is still in the process of growth. In due course, it will break even.

According to Commissioner Igwebuike, We have generated revenue from the airport for the government of the state. It is very promising from the way we are going and when we grow it the way we want to grow it, both the commercial arm and others, it will be self-sustaining. That is where we are going.”

The Anambra International Passenger and Cargo Airport is indeed an idea whose time has come.

Stuffs like this should be posted on pan Igbo thread not here. The only thing to be entertained here is news concentrated in Anambra state.

You can still go and post this Maria nwachi post on Ebonyi thread.

There has been an upsurge in herdsmen kidnappings in Enugu over the last few days. This is coming after Enugu residents complained of helicopters dropping northerners in the hills surrounding the city.. The Nsukka to Enugu part of the state is basically under lockdown. Folks that travelled down to the villa can't come out. Even students returning back to UNN are being kidnapped..

Is anyone noticing how the pounds and dollar is going up every hour today?

Dollar went from 750 to 760 to 777 today.

Pounds went from 850 to 867 to 877.

I pity those planning to vote Tinubu and APC.

By December, you will all see the unclothedness of this country.

This dirty sweating scammer, you are still crying over Obiano after he chased miscreants like you out of the streets. Again, Obiano did more important things than roads. Every governor can build roads, even Mbadinuju, Peter Obi and other mediocre governors built roads, but not every governor can start and complete an Airport, Stadium, ICC etc in just 8 years.

But even at that Obiano built more roads than all former Anambra governors. Most roads Soludo is awarding today are the fake substandard roads peter Obi did in less than 16 years.

You and your fellow idiots NwekereNdoki should stop derailing this thread by crying over Obiano every now and then, take your frustrations to your states.

Soludo Solution

NwekereNdoki:
Most of those roads were recently reconstructed by Wike. PH has moved Away from open drainage roads without sidewalks.

Wike banned street trading decisively. Onitsha and Akwa need to aggressively do the same.

Onitsha is more developed/built up than PH, but because Onitsha have many bad roads and less greenery, PH looks better.

I pray major cities in Igbo land like Onitsha, Owerri, Abakiliki, Awka, Asaba, Aba, Enugu etc. do same

PROUDIGBO:
Update on construction works for the new Ebonyi airport.

Really impressed with the level and standard of works completed so far. One of the officials interviewed mentioned they hope the first plane would land at the airport by october this year. Really don't know where Governor Umahi is finding the money to do all these mega projects in the state. The man would go down in history as the architect and father of modern Ebonyi.

At this point, i've given up begging for the colour riot used on all these public buildings and flyovers to toned down a bit! Seems Umahi isn't listening so what's the point!?

This airport would serve the state as a socio-economic catalyst......its benefits and effect on the states economy would start to be felt in the next three to four years. I hope they engage experienced international consultants with a good track record in airport construction so the highest safety/operational/technical standards are met for the airports smooth takeoff in october. Also, priority should be given to properly landscaping the airports surroundings and approach road.

Even though we are allowing obi supporters run with the narrative that he kept the money that was used to build Anambra Airport for lack of projects to campaign with, however we have to make it known here that Obiano, nor any of his official has never mentioned this anywhere, infact Obi and his attack dogs Omanambala have been telling us how Obiano squandered this so called "savings" since his first tenure.

Lets all be guided before Obiano will be forced to release a statement on this like Soludo did with Sabmiller.

OreMI22:
Noticeable efforts to beautify public spaces in the state are going on!

Meanwhile, its refreshing to see that the airport is still being developed gradually. Avio bridges installation being finalized.

God bless Gov. Soludo and former Gov Obiano wherever he is, for his courage to concieve and execute such transformational project for the state!

God bless Peter Obi for helping to conserve the funds utilized in executing the project!

FreedomfromtheT:
A new trick adopted by those afraid of Peter Obi tsunami is to make him appear like an ethnic candidate. Obviously, there are people sponsored by Peter Obi's opponents, some of whom bear Igbo names pretending to be Peter Obi's supporters whose speciality is to abuse and curse northerners -Fulanis, Hausas, Yorubas and other tribes including Moslems so as to make them hate Peter Obi. The propagandists then harp into this game by telling us that Peter Obi's supporters are acidic and full of insults and therefore Peter Obi should be hated for the offenses of his 'supporters'. Let us assume that those people or some of them are actually his supporters. Would you reject a qualified, competent teacher from teaching your children because his admirers hate you? Would you prefer a quack surgeon to operate you simply because the relatives of the competent surgeon are not in good terms with you? Would you choose that a bad pilot drives you to another country when you have a sound proven pilot simply because the sister of the good pilot spoke roughly to you? Will you reject a competent engineer or builder and go for a fake one to build you a house just because the former's friends addressed you in a wrong way? Does that even make sense? If we believe that Peter Obi and his running mate Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed have the competence, pedigree and credibility to take us to the promised land, why will someone in his right senses reject them because their 'supporters' are intolerant and insultive? Since Peter Obi has told his supporters to be tolerant of dissenting opinions, don't you think those who continue to insult other tribes while pretending to be his supporters are actually working for his political opponents? May God bless those who reason well and who want Nigeria to get it right come 2023 in Jesus' name, Amen.

Some of the Commissioners in the current dispensation could be the types of people described as "Resume Warriors"

On their resume written by professional resume writers, they look very good. But in reality, they lack experience in doing what is required in an environment where they are not spoon-fed and micro-managed on what to do.

Imagine that we have a commissioner for youths and sports in Anambra, yet the pitch of the recently completed Awka City stadium is flooded with mud and red soil? Who has taken Monimichelle up on its obligation to continuously maintain the pitch? How did it happen that laterite sand was used to set the pitch instead of white river sand?

The same issue is currently happening at the new International Conference center. Tall grass is already overgrowing the environment with no events going on there and no attempt to get a private sector hotel there to help in the maintenance of the facility.
