As a supporter of this government, this development is rather unfortunate.

This plan is totally contrary to what this APC government's Minister of Power, Fashola publicly stated policy : that all future power plants will be located at the source of the material that powers the plant.

Fact is that all Gas resources in Nigeria today comes from the Eastern Region. Period. So locating plants in Lagos, Abuja etc and then piping Eastern Region's Gas resources to these areas will fail.

The exploited peoples of the Eastern Region, may sabotage the pipelines thereby rendering these parasitic plants useless.

When you take the jobs and tax revenues that belong to the Eastern Region to Lagos, Abuja etc, it further exploits the people of the Eastern Region who own these natural resources.

In addition, it us no longer a secret that 97% of all blocks from Eastern Region are owned by Hausas and Yorubas!!!

The best thing is to build all power plants at the source of the raw materials, right in Eastern Region. Period.

You have a serious brain damage if at this point, you haven't seen that Anambra people will not vote for APC, let alone a character like Nwoye, who is a crook, an arsonist, a cultist and an illiterate.

Atleast Jonathan was not the president when Obi won under APGA

globemoney:
Prophet fayose that prophesied earlier that obiano will win still attended the rally? I guess he’s campaigning for his presidency. Peter Obi killed pdp in Anambra. The rally is a mere exercise.
Anambra have decided to re-elect obiano

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Its because Obiano is winning.

The election result is already at INEC table, waiting for Sunday morning to start announcing. On Monday morning others will be advised to go to tribunal. QED. Tony will be sworn in while others will be wasting their time, energy and money at the tribunal to supreme court after 2 years case closed.
After Tony, Ojukwu's son will take over. That's the game, don't get DX pls.

DedeNkem:
What right has this corrupt police thug to withdraw a governor's ADC? If his ADC was bad why not inform the governor first and then replace the ADC immediately?!

I don't support any politician in Nigeria. They're all massively corrupt. But this is an public unlawful displaying of power over a governor!

When northern murderous thieves are in power they think they're above the law! These id"*iot's are the main problem Nigeria has!! They're cancer to Nigeria.

Nwoye Will Make a Good Governor, Says Ekwueme

Secretary of the Enugu State chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr Peter Ekwueme,‎ who is also a contemporary of Dr Tony Nwoye, the All Progressives Congress’ governorship candidate in Anambra State, says Anambra will be better with his classmate as governor. He spoke to Tobi Soniyi. Excerpts:

I have no doubt whatsoever that Anambra in Dr Tony Nwoye’s hands will experience its best run of governance ever.....Ekwueme

How well do you know the APC candidate given the articles you have been publishing about him?

Dr Tony Nwoye is someone I have known forever. Our paths crossed way back in our pre university days. He was in Metropolitan College Onitsha while I was in Christ the king College (C. K. C).
Being a very intelligent and socially active person, Tony was a constant feature in the inter-school contests. He led his school in quiz competitions, debates, JET club contests and the likes. I led mine in same events. So we started off as adversaries really but had mutual respect for each other.

We got into the same College of Medicine, University of Nigeria Nsuka (UNN), played our parts in the Medical Students Association of our Alma matter UNMSA, SUG and the likes. Because of his natural gift for leadership, man management and organization, Tony became an instant hit, dusted his contemporaries and those that came even before him. The rest is now history.

So, I knew him first as an adversary (laughs). But we grew to be comrades sharing the same trenches. Our interaction has never looked back since then...

How did you come to know Dr. Nwoye?

Is it true that he was a cultist as some of his political rivals have alleged?

Nothing can be further from the truth. You see when political opponents have nothing to say, they resort to baseless propaganda and cheap blackmails.

Tony all through his stay in school never had any issue with the security department of the school. In our days, you cannot contest any election in school if you are reckoned a cultist. In fact, such charge was the easiest way for the school authorities to get back at troublesome student leaders.

It speaks so much about how far removed from cultism Tony was that the school authorities could not even label him with that. I mean that would have been such an easy way of stopping his participation in student union government politics. But they just couldn’t because the young man was so clean of such.

It is a fact that he has never been accused of cultism while there. He has never been charged for that anywhere in his time. Any of his contemporaries in school who is honest can attest to this.

Is it true that he played some role in curbing activities of cultism in UNN? If yes, what role did he play?

It is one of the great ironies of life that what Dr Tony Nwoye risked his life combating is what people who have no fear of God are accusing him of. Tony, both as a student union government leader and National Association of Nigerian Students’ (NANS) president fought tenaciously against the cultism menace.

He confronted it so head on that most cultists in UNN and UNEC had to publicly come and denounce their membership of the various cults so as to escape the onslaught he used the instrumentality of his office to bring to bear on them. He engaged the security agencies in this. It is in respect of his extraordinary courage in tackling the menace of cultism that the then Vice chancellor of UNN Prof. Ginigeme Mbanefo gave him an award as a student leader.

When he repeated the feat as NANS president, the then Benue State governor George Akume also gave him an award of recognition in that respect. Even the then Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun recognised his excellent contribution in this regard. What more can be said?

Do you believe he would do well as governor of Anambra State?

I have no doubt whatsoever that Anambra in Dr Tony Nwoye’s hands will experience its best run of governance ever. Tony is someone who prepared himself for leadership. He is an excellent manager and knows how to distill from an assemblage of great talents the very best for the good of the society. More than any other person in this race, he possesses the best resume as far leadership is concerned.

What expectations do you have of him as governor?

I urge him to remain true to his person and his deals as he had been in the myriads of positions he had served in the past. He should remember that it is his past performance that keeps making way for him to soar higher and higher.
I expect him to continue making his focus the masses, the poor and the dispossessed. I expect him to maintain focus on the youths, empower and equipment them to unleash their immeasurable potentials which should catapult our economy to enviable heights.

I expect Dr Tony Nwoye to carry on in office with the same humility, the same focus and the same servant leader disposition that have seen him excel in his past calls to service

Your advice to Nwoye as he continues with the campaign to be elected the governor of Anambra state.

I urge Dr Tony Nwoye and his teeming supporters which grow by the day not to relent. They should continue to sustain their grassroots spread and dominance for truly power belongs to the people.

It is my conviction that if the current tempo is sustained, Tony will emerge victorious come November 18th and Anambra will enter into its most peaceful, most progressive and most prosperous era in history. That is the Tony Nwoye promise. As Dr Tony and his teeming supporters like to assert as their slogan/battle cry, the future is now!
