If you hate progress or you love crime and corruption, don't vote for Obi, he will deal with you.
Was this how Obi dealt with crime and corruption huh

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

Results are what matters, compared with the performance goals promised before fighting for power and grabbing to run with it.

Abi Jonathan did not try his best before Tinubu begged his 2011 expired Fulani soldier to replace him, thereby ending 16 years of PDP peace, stability, prosperity and cheap petrol with less debt burden huh

EkoIle1:
It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.

The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.

Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.

Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.

It has become crystal clear, even to the most incurable optimist, that the country is adrift. That the ship of the Nigerian state is rudderless is clearly evident in the consistent and continual attacks ferociously executed by elements often referred to as the insurgents in some northern states of the federation, particularly Borno and Yobe states respectively.

Indeed, no part of the country is immune from the virulent but easy attacks, veritable indices of a failing state. Unfortunately, the tenuous and uncoordinated approach adopted by this government betrays a grossly incompetent disposition which stands at variance with current realities in the country, nay the international community where acts of terrorism are engaged and contained. No Governor of a state in Nigeria is the Chief Security Officer. Putting the blame on the Governors, who have been effectively emasculated, for the abysmal performance of the government at the centre which controls all these security agencies, smacks of ignorance and mischief.

You guys make me laugh. Reclaim Nigeria and hand to who? Atiku or Obi? What joke. It is not happening. Ordinary Nigerians are like toddlers who don't know what is best for them.

Leaders know what is best for Nigeria. That is why they are all behind Tinubu and will ensure they spend and do everything to help him return.

You reap what you sow.

Do you know how many Igbos were massacred by Hausas, Fulanis, Tivs and Idomas of northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt in 1966?

Do you know how many Igbos were thrown over the Cater Bridge into the lagoon by Yorubas during the civil war from 1967-1970?

Karma is real.

Even if they're paid to do so, why can't they think about their security and future? And how much are they even being paid that's worth their lives.
It's because they've weaponized poverty. The politicians know very well that poor people cannot think clearly to make the right decision, especially when offered money or food. A poor man's conscience can be easily bought with money.

Why I don't believe is because of the quietness and diversion of blame coming for many Yoruba people concerning the atrocities of the Fulanis across the south west, I mean, sincerely ask yourself, if these crimes were committed by the Igbo people in Yoruba land, would this be the reaction of the Yoruba people?

Secondly, why is Tinubu who is a Yoruba man not bothered and he still has many of his tribesmen who are not benefiting anything from him supporting him for second term despite the killings going on.

So tell me why I should believe otherwise that that the statement there is from an Igbo man and not a Yoruba man?

As much as I agree with you. I still doubt the efficacy of the state Police. I feel community policing will be better. In Nigeria where politics is premised on ills such as sycophancy, what is the assurance that the state police won't be for the benefit of the few just as the federal police system. My observation though.

Its turn by turn,reason we have to act now, they should do gun license and state police should be speed up fastly in tackling this insecurity

I know it is not all Yoruba people who are in support of what is going on and what Tinubu is doing, but when you have quite a number who either are indifferent, condone or support what is going on then it rubs off on the entire tribe, same thing with the drug issue and Igbo people, it is rubbing off on the whole tribe, reason why I keep advocating for the south east state governments to start rolling out programs to curb the issue, so don't think I am just trying to be biased with my comments.

For free, I will tell you a number of Yorubas are hypocritical people. Im not afraid to call them out even if I'm from there, which gives me the validation to call out any other tribe. It's a mental recalibration. Before 1960, Igbos and Fulanis were the undisputed 1st and 2nd in Nigeria's affairs. Yorubas were like the dud. After the fallout of the biafra war, Yorubas rose higher in rank and do not want to relinquish that position. That's the cold war you see between Yorubas and Igbos.

Secondly, I will tell you that there are a lot of Yorubas that tackle the fulani back to back. I can list 10 big Youtube channels that tackle the Fulani relentlessly but many speak Yoruba, so you probably do not know. You dare me? Let me list: Koiki media, Mayegun General, Gbagede Imo, Soktoti TV, Tani Olorun, Seoyekoribe, Yoruba Wuyi, Yeye Dara kowe, Saheed, Arole 10 10, Dupe Onitiri, Lady K, Baba Aropo Ire. They are too many. Even Igboho calls them by their name.

As for Igbos, you people are not exactly saintly either. You guys try to install your kings, you guys do meth, fake stuff, and even criminal gangs and kidnapping syndicates, all of these on our Yoruba land, so somehow u guys also involve yourselves in the whole fracas. When Yorubas call both out, Fulanis hardly respond on social media. Or do you want to say you did not see how Yorubas fired sultan of sokoto and the north when they spoke about sharia in Yoruba land last year? The thing is they didnt tackle us back, but that doesnt mean they are not still acting on their sinister plans.

But when Igbos are called out, they want to bully. They come with bully thinking they can run Yorubas down. So in response to this, Yorubas have also increased their own gbas-gbos. It is how it is.

Yep, and the protesters won't call for better funding, salaries and wages for the police.

Police is expected to perform like the american and uk police and police 230 million people, on just one billion dollars.

Plus most of the rank and file are paid below minimum wage and are not properly armed and equipped. The fact that we have been using the army for some internal security issues since the 1980's should have told you something

Yet, when you tell NIgerians that they need to put pressure on their government to fund the police better, you go hear stories.

State police cannot work. When federal government is struggling to fund police , you think say that states go get money to fund police? Okay o.
