Obiano will continue Obi’s bad ways – Ngige

The campaign for continuity on which Willie Obiano is hinging his campaign is one built on false assumptions, Dr. Chris Ngige, the APC candidate said yesterday.
Ngige in a statement yesterday said another term in office by APGA would mean subjecting the people of AnambraState to another four years of “the locust  characterised by socio-economic retrogression, insecurity  and degradation of infrastructure.”

Ngige in the statement issued on his behalf by Mr. Tony Icheku, of the Media and Publicity Committee of the campaign urged the electorate to reject Obiano upon what he claimed as the
economic failures of Mr. Peter Obi, the incumbent governor who is in the frontline of the Obiano campaign.
“Fiscal rascality, and ineptness defines Mr. Peter Obi’s eight years in office. Besides flouting constitutional provisions,  he failed to excel in any single department of governance,” Ngige deposed.
“Despite a huge monthly budget of over N500 million as security vote, Mr. Obi had been unable to secure the lives and property of Anambra people, he probably does not know that  the 1999 Constitution, section 2.14, describes security of lives and property as the cardinal and fundamental objective of government.
One therefore is at loss how Mr. Obi expends N500 million monthly and yet Anambra is not garrisoned against  kidnappers and armed robbers. Our  former thriving commercial  cities of Onitsha and Nnewi are  now ghost towns because of insecurity, as both indigenes and investors alike had been scared away by kidnappers.”
“For eight years, Mr. Obi refused to conduct elections to the Local Government Areas, LGAs and cornered the allocations due to the 21 LGAs. Anambra people demand explanations how their money was spent as there is nothing on ground to show any investment in socio-economic infrastructure.”
League of voters roots for Obiano
A COALITION of 7000 professionals on the banner of The League of Voters has thrown its weight behind the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Candidate in Saturday’s election, Chief Willie Obiano.
The group said its decision was based on the assessment of the 23 candidates standing for election and the need to take AnambraState to the next level after Governor Peter Obi.
The group’s Chairman, Mr. Okey Nzegwu, said Obi’s successor must be an individual who
Can protect our liberties, heal the wounds and divisions of the past, build bridges of trust, friendship and co-operation across the communities of the state, have the fear of God and empathy for the under privileged, have unimpeachable integrity and executive experience among others.
His words: “A serious look at all the parties and candidates contesting for that office, gives cause for wariness. For instance there seem to be desperation on the part of some candidates to hold office at all costs – a kind of chronic obsession to be governor as if being governor is an end in itself. There are some good candidates of course, in the fringe parties, but they have neither the financial resource nor political structure to win such an election.
“We don’t know how they intend to impose their ideology on an APGA legislature. We do not want a divided government. We need cohesion not dysfunction. This leaves us with one party and one candidate – APGA and Willie Obiano.” Reasons why you should reject Obiano by Ngige
