Anambrarians Suffering Dangerously Under Current Government

By Erikigwe Gabriel Ikenna

It is no longer an overstatement to say that the Anambra State Government has lost focus. Recent events, coupled with the government’s apparent passiveness in addressing them, raise serious concerns. Despite claims that all is well, the reality on ground tells a different story.

HEALTHCARE
The government claims to have provided free antinatal care for pregnant women, but in reality, this policy is failing. Many pregnant women in government hospitals lament that they are forced to buy essential drugs and medical supplies. Nurses openly admit that the government does not provide them with enough resources for antenatal care. This has led to situations where husbands accuse their wives of lying when they ask for money to cover these costs. Instead of relief, this so-called free healthcare program has become a source of frustration for many families.

SECURITY
The security situation in Anambra is deteriorating. Many have suffered under the hands of AKA ODO SECURITY, yet, the government has remained silent. The newly established UDO GA ACHI security outfit, instead of maintaining law and order, is reportedly extorting money from motorists on the roads. The failure to properly train and monitor these security forces has turned them into a menace rather than a solution. Despite claims of improved security, reports of kidnappings and killings continue daily. The people of Anambra live in fear while the government insists that all is well.

TAXATION
Commercial drivers in Anambra State are being overtaxed by the government. Instead of creating a business-friendly environment, the current administration seems more interested in squeezing every last kobo from already enburdened citizens. This excessive taxation is making life difficult for transport operators and, by extension, the ordinary people who rely on them for daily movement.

EDUCATION
The government proudly claims to have made education free in all government schools. However, students and parents tell a different story. Hidden fees are still being charged under various guises, making a mockery of the free education promise. The reality is that many families are still struggling to afford education, even in public institutions.

GOVERNMENT THAT SHUNS CRITICISM
Instead of engaging critics and addressing public concerns, this government seems more interested in silencing dissenting voices. It has become common practice to attack and discredit anyone who questions activities of the administration.

From the moment Governor Soludo assumed office, he has continued to distance himself from those who helped bring him to power. He wasted no time in claiming that his predecessor, Chief Willie Obiano, left nothing for him. He also dismissed Peter Obi’s investments in the state as worthless, going as far as publicly stating that Obi was not qualified to be Nigeria’s president in the 2023 elections.

DISRESPECT FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS
Governor Soludo has also been at odds with religious leaders in the state. He has openly criticized Fr. Ebube Muonso for urging him to improve security, and has reportedly clashed with Archbishop Valerian Okeke. A leader, who disrespects men of God and disregards the moral voices of the people is setting a dangerous precedent.

A CALL FOR CHANGE
Ndi Anambra, it is high time the government rose up and make Anambra lively by listening to public opinion, and provide adequate security for its people. Anambra deserves better, and it is up to the people to demand accountability and good leadership.

This is my personal opinion in this rivers state political unrest .

The ijay law makers in the rivers state house of assembly has the highest number in the rivers state house of assembly and must not be allowed themselves to be used by wike to impeach governor similayi fubara who Is also an Ijaw son. Instead, they should come together to impeach Wike boy, the speaker of the house of assembly amaewhule. They have the numbers.

RIVERS ASSEMBLY IN DISARRAY OVER GOV. FUBARA'S IMPEACHMENT

The Supreme Court judgment on the Rivers State political crisis has thrown the Martin Amaewhule-led House of Assembly into deeper division, as plans to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara have sparked internal chaos.

Inside sources reveal that tensions escalated during plenary when deliberations on extending a 48-hour ultimatum against the Governor took an unexpected twist. One lawmaker pushed for immediate impeachment proceedings, but his colleague from the Ijaw extraction vehemently opposed the move, setting off a heated argument.

Another legislator, apparently taking directives from someone he tagged "Oga," likely to be the minister of F.C.T, Chief Nyesom Wike insisted they must follow instructions, Amaewhule had to grant another 48-hour extension to calm the situation. But the chaos didn't end there.

Sources further disclosed that five lawmakers, allegedly favoured by the FCT Minister, broke away after plenary for a closed-door meeting while others waited, fueling speculations of a deepening rift.

The lawmakers from Ijaw extraction strongly opposed the impeachment bid, arguing that it was a ploy to push the Governorship ambition of Martin Amaewhule, an Ikwerre son from Obio/Akpor. To them, this was not just an attack on Fubara but an orchestrated power grab designed to keep Rivers State under the control of the same political dynasty.

As it stands, Rivers people are watching closely. Who blinks first?
