Why i will vote Willie Obiano NWAFOR POLYCARP 17 OCT 2017 By Chuks Iloegbunam SOMEONE brought to the office a video clip of Tony Nwoye “campaigning”. Since the man is the APC candidate in the November 18 Anambra governorship election, the urge to view his message was overpowering, especially as he had been rather taciturn since the contentious primary election that threw him up as his party’s candidate. What was his governorship ambition all about? Decked out in a dark suit, a cordless microphone appeared glued to his lips. “Willie Obiano is a thief,” shouted Tony Nwoye. “His wife also is a thief.” He mouthed this abuse for the second and third times. Like a repeater station, the voice of an unseen fellow echoed his foul words. A few of his listeners clapped. In a minute the clip ended. What an anticlimax, I thought. Tony Nwoye’s sacrilegious tongue apart, there was the more serious tenor of malicious prejudice in this unsubstantiated accusation. Was his fulmination the sum total of the APC’s manifesto? One assumed that, in soliciting for political endorsement, effort must be made to portray the candidate as deserving of support. Did the outpouring of invectives ever solve any society’s problems? I immediately reckoned with the link between Tony Nwoye’s diatribe and the standard fare of the PDP in Anambra State, that has converted into a fine art the usage of the social media for mendacious effusions. We will return to these aberrant behaviours. In the meantime, an introduction of Chinua Achebe integrity is important. When Abuja toyed with investing the distinguished novelist with a national honour, he struck a resounding blow for the oppressed, and demonstrated that real Ndigbo never put forward their conscience for sale. In a letter addressed to President Obasanjo and dated October 15, 2004, Achebe said inter alia: “I write this letter with a very heavy heart. For some time now I have watched events in Nigeria with alarm and dismay. I have watched particularly the chaos in my own state of Anambra where a small clique of renegades, openly boasting its connections in high places, seems determined to turn my homeland into a bankrupt and lawless fiefdom. I am appalled by the brazenness of this clique and the silence, if not connivance, of the Presidency… “Nigeria’s condition today under your watch is, however, too dangerous for silence. I must register my disappointment and protest by declining to accept the high honour awarded me in the 2004 Honours List.” Well, Anambra has come a long way since the heady days of PDP’s governance of the State. Therefore, Governor Willie Obiano was able to deliver this proclamation last Year: “Ndi Anambra, when I assumed office with my team on March 17, 2014, we took over a state that had no landmark infrastructure and no clear-cut strategic vision for the future. And perhaps more importantly, we met a state that was heavily traumatised by violent armed robbery, kidnapping, child-trafficking and endless cases of drug-related crimes. This crime-ridden scenario discouraged investments and successfully cut off the state from the grid of modern development. Ladies and gentlemen, my team and I inherited a state with an average ambition but through strategic refocusing and a commitment to excellence, we have repositioned Anambra among Nigeria’s leading states today!” Now, Governor Obiano is seeking re-election, to consolidate his administration’s legacy. The imminent governorship election means that the elephant’s carcass lies prostrate on the ground, and everybody has reached for their knife, to cut themselves a helping of its meat. Not surprisingly, there are more than 30 candidates primed for the contest. Of course, most of them are in it for keeping up appearances. But Oseloka Obaze and Tony Nwoye, PDP and the APC candidates respectively, deserve some attention, if only because they are of parties with some grounding in Nigerian politics. You expected these dudes to say in concrete terms what they would do differently if they attained the political power they are hankering for. Governor Obiano has restored the peace and stability of an Anambra State previously reduced to a criminal fiefdom, as Achebe put it. He has transformed Awka into a real capital city. He has attracted investments both local and foreign. He has revolutionised agriculture in the state. He is taking particularly good care of government employees and retirees, paying their salaries and pensions and gratuities promptly and regularly. He has given back to Ndigbo their pride. Now it is the place of those challenging Governor Obiano for Anambra’s governorship to, at least, have the good sense to state what they intend to do differently to further improve the lot of the people. Instead they are throwing curses and falsehoods about like confetti. If Tony Nwoye knows no better than to excoriate Anambra’s Number One Citizen and his dear wife, Oseloka Obaze, given the fact that he worked under Governor Obiano, should restrain the lying excesses of his campaign loudspeakers. Perhaps, he has bounded himself up a dilemma, knowing that the world knows that he would not be in politics today had Peter Obi not commandeered him godfather-like into the gambit. Even Peter Obi himself knows that the world knows that his self-imposed objective of dethroning Governor Obiano is nothing to do with principles. Otherwise, they would not aggregate and deploy mudslingers and quasi-journalists in the demeaning fixation with interminable lies on the Internet, the newspapers and frequency modulated wavebands. I recently met with Anyanwu (Mrs.) Bianca Ojukwu who professed an inability to get over Peter Obi’s betrayal of APGA because it was in front of her eyes that he solemnly vowed before her husband, Dim Ojukwu, that he would forever keep the APGA flag flying. How should Ndi Anambra respond to the contingency of their salvaged state being handed over to the PDP? Isn’t the prospect of the return of those that abducted a siting Governor and turned Anambra into a bankrupt and lawless fiefdom too hazardous to contemplate? What is there to say to the traitorous, the folks that see public office as an exclusive club only for the initiated, who have no time to appreciate that governance is about the welfare of the people rather than a religion of rules and protocols? The good news is that Anambra’s choice in the impending ballot is unambiguous. Ndi Anambra know the antecedents of the candidates and the sleight of hand masquerading as godfatherism. They know those others whose “good morning” should inevitably induce a retirement for the night. They know that it is anathema to ditch General Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s party and settle for an alternative that grudgingly ceded to our people a miserable seven percent of democracy’s dividends. They understand that the equitably arranged zoning principle that should see the governorship in Anambra South in 2022 will be irredeemably compromised if unprincipled conspirators and recidivists forced the hardworking Willie Obiano from office. Those are the reasons I will cast my vote for Governor Willie Obiano. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2017/10/will-vote-willie-obiano/amp/ 2 Likes |

Why much talk about Tony Nwoye? Tony Okechukwu Nwoye is a well known brigand who terrorized Enugu state, Ebonyi state and Anambra State from 1998 to 2015. He started as a member of cult group otherwise known as of Africa. In Enugu, Tony who was supposed to be decent as a medical student was fiercely engaged into several cult killings and other clandestine activities. His academic activities were affected by his incessant cult activities. However, Tony was severally arrested by the special police division in Enugu then known as Operation Vigilance. His name was boldly written in their detention cell in those days. Tony Nwoye was summarily rusticated from the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus due to his recalcitrant cult activities. Yet, Tony refused to leave the school premises and stayed on campus for additional 8 years. He then used his cult group to snatch the post of President of National Association of Nigerian Students when he was actually not a student. One Ike Klinsman Ohamadike who ran away to Sweden after he killed a fellow student in school was his ally then. Ike Klinsman was studying pharmacy then but had to run away after killing a fellow student. Tony was a willing tool for Andy Ubah and Obasanjo who made him the state chairman of PDP. Andy Ubah supplied him with all the political backings he needed which made him graduate to international brigandage. He led the people that burnt down all the public infrastructures in Anambra state in 2004. He led those that assassinated Barnabas Igwe and his pregnant wife. In fact, Tony Nwoye personally crushed their dead bodies with a 504 black salon car. Today, the same Tony Nwoye wants to rule the same state he burnt down. The same Tony Nwoye wants to manage the state he destroyed. It is important to note that Tony Nwoye being a poor boy from a poor family as his godfather revealed want to sell us off to Arthur Eze the way Mbadinuju did. Do you now that Tony Nwoye is bereft of intelligence to rule Anambra State? This Tony Nwoye of a man knows next to nothing about how Nigerian economy works. He doesn't know what poverty index means and how to work it out. Do you know that Tony Nwoye is a green horn who never worked anywhere except thuggery? Do you know that Tony is always associated with fraudulent political gains? How did he get to the national assembly? This is a story for anther day. What of his twin brother who is a lawyer? Tony almost killed him. Tufiakwa. |

When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved and individual commitment to a group effort is what makes a team work. Talent they say wins game but teamwork wins championship because when the right people come together, problems becomes opportunities. Know dt it is not the load that breaks u down, it is the way u carry it. The things u do for yourself are gone when u are gone but that in which you do for others remain as a legacy..why not give someone a rose when they are still alive to smell it. Let's join hands towards ensuring that our able hard working and outstanding governor Chief Willie Obiano run a second tenure in office. #Reelect Obiano #Vote APGA ( Apga bu nke anyi) |
