Gov. Willie Obiano commended for Fiscal Discipline


Governor Willie Obiano has been commended for his fiscal discipline which has ensured the prompt payment of salaries and allowances to civil servants in Anambra State on the 25th of every month.

A release from the office of the State Commissioner For Information, Culture and Tourism stated that it was heartwarming that Anambra State Government has remained consistent in the payment of salaries and allowances to workers even in the face of the fiscal crisis that have engulfed many states in the federation. The crisis it noted have made it difficult for such states to pay their employees and honour their debt servicing obligations to contractors.

The release also noted that in many states, development projects have been abandoned owing to resource misapplication and mismanagement by those entrusted with leadership. The release further applauded Governor Obiano who has demonstrated his ability and capacity to manage public funds by promptly paying this month's salary and allowances to workers in the State.

Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has called on the people of Abia State to choose the surest path to accelerated development and all-round renewal of their state by voting for Dr. Alex Otti in the gubernatorial election that is rescheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2015 in select parts of the state.


Speaking at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, on Wednesday, Obiano observed that the rescheduled election has given Ndi Abia the chance to get their calculations right this time, pointing out that if truly the people were desirous of experiencing real progress in the next four years, they would have no difficulties voting for Dr. Alex Otti who is standing election on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).


According to him, the decision of who to choose between Otti and other candidates contesting with him is like a choice between light and darkness; because Otti is apparently the best man for the job.


“As a retired banker, I know what it takes to attain the height that Alex Otti attained as a former Managing Director of one of Nigeria’s leading banks. That achievement is possibly the best preparation for the arduous task of running the affairs of a state. I want to assure Abia people that their future is more assured if they give Alex Otti the chance to lead them as their governor. I have no doubt that Otti will transform Abia in a matter of years,” Obiano said.


Borrowing from his own personal experience, the governor further explained that the advantage of having a technocrat as the helmsman is that he is better grounded in the nitty-gritty of deploying scarce human and material resources in a manner that would give the state the greatest value.


“It is not the same thing as having someone who does not have the benefit of that experience, someone whose only claim to fame is that he has been a loyal party man. Otti knows exactly what to do to turn Abia State around. He is not coming to do any guess work. He has a clear understanding of what the challenges are and how to tackle them. That is the major difference between him and others.”


Obiano further pointed out that as a former Managing Director of a foremost Nigerian bank, Otti has a reputation to protect.


“He knows that he is representing one of the most respected professions in the world. He knows that his name would be at stake if he fails to do the right thing; if he fails to rise to the challenge of his job and surpass the expectations of the Abia people as their governor. This cannot be said of those challenging him for the gubernatorial seat of Abia State. They have nothing at stake; no serious name to treasure and no prestigious constituency to answer to,” the governor further explained.


Speaking further, Obiano opined that Abia State is at a crossroads, arguing that after years of PDP leadership that left most parts of the state in dire need of urgent attention, only a renowned technocrat and an astute manager of men and resources like Otti can lead the state back to winning ways.


He said: “Abia State is a very important state in the South-east. The state occupies a significant position in Igbo land. The potentials of Abia as a state as well as her many endowments in human and material resources are tremendous. However, they don’t amount to much if there is no competent manager in the State House who knows exactly what to do with them. And that is where Alex Otti’s expertise and years of experience will come in handy.”


Expressing the hope that Otti would emerge victorious from the rescheduled election, Governor Obiano observed that the economy of Igboland would be on the rebound with him and Otti running the two most industrialising states in the South East with the same development model provided by APGA.


“I have no doubt that Alex and I will cooperate with other governors in the South East to create an alternate economy that will answer our people’s strident call for a renascent Igbo land. I hope that the good people of Abia State will give Alex a chance. If they do that, they would have given Ndigbo a chance to reclaim what we lost in the last three decades,” he declared.

Remarkable:
you never hear say actions speak louder than words... or that pics (not photo-shop shaa does too)... do talk/type... counter hr with pics of the good side of Abia... you shudda known people have the bad side of abia since OUK's SUN decided TA wont drink water and put away the cup (I know), so show 'em pics of Umuahia or whatever it is TA has been doing, his so called (accomplished) legacy projects, if I was in Umuahia, that could have been my contribution to NL... Anambra & Imo have threads extending numerous pages.... I've been hoping one can be started for Abia... I know there's a lot Abia has to show (I grew up there and even before 1999) Abia has some to offer... but something tells me you, the OP, aren't the Abia 'messiah' on NL I've been waiting for... not with the GPS error in the title of your thread! (Gee that was a lot in one breath!)

No time for unnecessary outburst. Tell me with facts if the governors are not BH covert agents..

OrlandoOwoh:
You sound silly.

The governors are BH covert agents and are equally sabotaging federal government efforts in the states..

OrlandoOwoh:
What difference will that make, the governors of the states are not the ones that deploy the military? The President does. The security of the state will still remain the preserve of the President.

The Federal Government’s next line of action on Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states at the expiration of the emergency rule imposed on the three north-eastern states will be decided on Monday (today), investigation by The PUNCH has revealed.

The third tranche of six-month emergency rule imposed on the states following the continued activities of members of the Boko Haram sect expires on Thursday.

There have been speculations that President Goodluck Jonathan may impose “total emergency rule” on the states by appointing military administrators to take over from the state governors.

A top government official, who pleaded anonymity, however, told The PUNCH on Sunday that the decision on whether to renew the emergency rule or not would be taken at a meeting of the National Defence Council holding on Monday (today).

Although he said he would not preempt the outcome of the meeting, the government source however insisted that military administrators would not be appointed for the state, saying it would be unconstitutional to do so.

He said, “The National Defence Council is meeting tomorrow (today). After the meeting tomorrow (today), whatever decision is taken, you will be told. We cannot preempt the members.

“The council will be meeting by 11am on Monday and a decision will be taken on the state of emergency in the affected states and the way forward.”

The Council is one of the federal executive bodies established by Section 135 of the nation’s Constitution.

The source added that the current government would not embark on any illegality by sacking state governors under the guise of fighting insurgency.

He said all that would be done would be under the ambit of the law.

It will be recalled that Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, had told Sunday PUNCH in September that Jonathan was not contemplating replacing governors of the three states currently under emergency rule with military administrators because he had no power under the nation’s constitution to do so.

Abati disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Sunday PUNCH.

Abati had in that exclusive interview said the people clamouring for the removal of sitting governors in the affected states were doing so in error.

He said such people should be referred to the relevant section of the constitution that deals with the state of emergency, adding that there is nowhere in the section where the President was given such a power.

Rubbish talk. U threatened me so I was expecting u to start action immediately.

Joehannibal:
Chino,

You very keen on seeing this thread derailed for reasons best known to you.

But I will disappoint you this once as I won't post any pics

Like I said, you will be ambushed on another thread.

In another news, Anambra thread has been for almost 2weeks with no pics while you are busy attacking your brothers.

All thanks to Tabletman and Fxo14, that thread would have gone down the drain.

U are a fool. Just start already..

Joehannibal:
I will do shiit when I start splashing your family's pics here, you agent of division!

Oya bring it on boy....lol

let us see who will blink first..lol

Joehannibal:
You don't have time because you have been mauled to pulp?

You are a very silly Igala offspring of a toad!

You gave out our facebook usernames and assisted the insurgurls in making the cyberspace familiar with Customized pics.

Insult anybody on here again, and you will be ambushed on another thread.

You are very silly for saying that I was the one posting pictures here yesterday. Bring it on and I will unleash the insurgents on you. You think I have time anymore for your picture posting. Rubbish

Joehannibal:
Chino,


Be very very careful.

Yesterday, you logged on your other moniker and start posting pics on here. Be careful, we won't warn you again.

Saboteur, you claim to have denounced tribalism yet we see you everyday fighting your brothers while you continue licking the yolobaas's arses.

Argue with Achi4u rationally, stop insulting him like you have been doing.

Last warning.

Nobody is saying that Ebonyi is not developing at all but their rate of development is quite minimal and the least compare to other SE states. One hardly hear of any good news from that state. It is a state circled by its few enlightened elites while greater population of the people are suffering in abject poverty. Today 2/3 of Ebonyi people are resident in Anambra where most of them are engaged in petty businesses and menial jobs, this is because such little opportunities are not even in their state that was why they moved in droves. Its time the rest of the SE go and rescue Ebonyi because at the end of the day it is still part of the SE.

asha80:
to be honest only someone who has not been to abakiliki for the past 8 yrs would say it is backward....having gone there 3 months ago i had to eat my thoughts of how the place used to be.

Is this ghetto(abakaleke) what you call 'beautiful'? Abakaliki is still a terrible and horrible place without even drinking water that is fit for human consumption and coupled with the infestation of guinea-worm rampant in the town and state at large. Compare the picture you posted with the one below. Abakaliki and entire Ebonyi state is still very very backward, timid and the least on the table of development as far as SE and Nigeria is concerned. Its as simple as that.

liberty300:
abakaliki is finer than awka a million times. I was in awka while a couple of guys were making fun of abakaliki. I asked em if they have been to abakaliki, they said no and referred me to a man that told them hw terrible abakaliki was....7 yrs ago. abakaliki is London to awka, simple as dat

Below is a pix from Abakaliki

Shut up my friend abakaliki is a messed town with dirts and filth and bad roads all over the place with accompanying guineaworm infestation. Its an insult to compare Awka to the slum called Abakaliki. The number of duplexes in Awka alone far outnumber the ones in the entire ebonyi state. Ebonyi state is drawing the SE backward in every sphere of development.

achi4u:
Guy keep shot.
Come to Ebonyi state and see how Anambra people is also making a good living in all sectors and u dum.b ch.imp want to make a case out of it.
Yes,we are poor with good heart and hopping dat tomorrow will be better.That's why Abakaliki is well planned even though it is still dirty compare to other high rising cities but not with ur Awka with so many tiny roads and dumps frm all angles.

Leave this thread alone.

Was he in Onitsha to beg Zik's son to be his running mate?lol

Hahahahahahhaah..

The clown is yet to get admission..

At your command, I will leave him now..

OkijaAmaka:
Nwanne free the youngthug, i just remember the troll now via the post you dug from his archive, he wrote JAMB recently and failed and started blaming Dibu Ojerinde making the questions hard.

Nwanne this guy is teen, free him bc u can keep him in your house, feed him untill he become obese

NWANNE WERE AKA NRI TIE NWATA IHE MA WERE AKA EKPE MERAA YA, HAPU THE YOUNGTHUG PLS.

You are already denying yourself. The insurgent got all your details that was why you deleted your account. They have been following you quietly..oneday you will discover that your head is off your shoulder..

Kasyn:
thats was a post by kasynpaulsyn1997 not me! I just registered here some days ago....kasynpaulsyn1997 must be an anambra nigga that claimed enugu nigga!

We are just getting started. Calm down..

I asked in a cool voice..is your useless father still living in Nnewi where is he pushing truck?

You don enter one chance today..

Kasyn:
your poor agbaenu bastard father is a tout in enugu state! Very soon,just soon!...we go checkmate anambra cultists that now constitute over 45% of esut students! Expect that ur cultist broda,he will be back home soon!

See your own words when you were still very honest with yourself..

Just arrived enugu yesterday for my post utme at ESUT coming up in two days and from what i 've seen ENUGU is just fuckingly overrated!.........the roads in the city are not clean unlike uyo where the govt employ workers to keep all roads in the city clean by sweeping the roads every morning. Though waste bins by The enugu state waste management agency(ESWAMA) can be seen dotted round the city but waste is not properly managed in enugu. In enugu most streets lights on the roads has stopped working and no one to trim/cut the grasses that has over grown the demarcation for dual carriage. No city planning at all! Most buildings are covered with dust. And we have buildings with rusted zincs. Oh,jeeeez touting is very much in this city! The ogbete market and garriki market/park should be moved out of the city because it makes the city look odd that axis of the city is worse! Even a modern motor park constructed by the govt won't be a bad idea just like the ITAM GENERAL MOTOR PARK in uyo. Enugu can only boost of tall buildings(which 40% are old/ancient) but when it comes to city planning and beautification its a no no no no no!!! As i was coming from uyo i was expecting a CITY not a city. In my honest opinion uyo beats enugu............you can as well visit both cities and verify! Enugu is just a better ABA!
Note:- am from enugu state,born and bred in nnewi anambra state now reside in uyo akwaibom state but truth be told----->am very much disappointed at enugu(my capital city)!

Kasyn:
enugu,dirty?...LMAO! Ifeanyi Ubah: "awka is a dustbin"-2013...build up to the 2013 governorship election.

Is your useless senile father still living in Nnewi or not?

Kasyn:
better economy 4 where? Anambra folks brought cultism to esut!

Ewu..population means that there is better economy and infrastructure there. Just like people troop to Lagos, that is the same way your okpa people troop to Anambra to earn a living if not your useless father will not be living in Nnewi all his life..

Kasyn:
population is not an achievement,mumu agbaenu boy! Thats why you lots always run away from ur hell hole heading to enugu or lagos or anyother place on earth!

Onitsha has white sand while Awka has an off-white color.

Enugu is dirty with its dirty reddish soil..

Kasyn:
enugu have red soil,so is awka! Nnewi? God go help people wey dey live there....lol! That place nah red dust haven!

Innoson resides in our lovely state where he has his biggest investment..

The population of Anambra is thrice the population of your useless state..why is that??

You know the truth but you have decided to hide it. Look below what you said here on NL. Remember the day you created this thread..
