“Pretend To Accept It Or Not; Anambra Indigenes Made Lagos What It Is Today” – Obiano

obiano

The Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano who got re-elected for a second term has said indigenes of Anambra state were responsible for the development of Lagos State.

Gov. Obiano disclosed this in a recent interview with Channels TV, stating that most taxes in the State were paid by Anambra indigenes.

“Anambra made Lagos what it is today whether they pretend to accept it or not

“We have very rich Anambra people all over the world.

“The taxes that are paid are mostly by Anambra people and development going on in the west.

“But none in the southeast because there was no security but now there is.” He said

The governor further disclosed security is a major issue in the state which will be seriously tackled in his second tenure while calling on Anambra indigenes to come home and invest.

“Now is the time to come home and invest, then there was no security but now there is.

“We have reduced our challenges of investment to zero, Anambra now is the best place to come and invest.

“Before I came in, security was an issue. I came, I saw, I conquered and it’s not a static thing. Security is continuous, so we are moving and we are going to put in more efforts to ensure that the next four years is even far better than they have seen it now.

“I’ll keep awake so that all Anambra people and those living in Anambra can sleep with their two eyes closed. Security is the greatest thing that I have done and it is bringing a lot of people in.

    Why IPOB/Biafrans are boycotting all Nigerian politics!! The worldwide family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it’s leadership, under the supreme command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu consider it imperative to reinstate the reasons why Biafrans have decided to lock down Anambra State on the 18th of November 2017 and never to participate in any fraudulent elections organised by INEC until a date for referendum on Biafra is set. It is patently clear to all that since the return to what can best be described as the Arewa dominated militocracy in 1999, we Biafrans have been voting with nothing to show for it till date. In fact, the whole electoral exercise in Nigeria is as fraudulent as Nigeria itself. INEC is anything but independent. People can campaign and electioneer all they like, Aso Rock decides who gets appointed into political office. Our votes don’t count and will never count. Those participating in elections in Nigeria under the crazy militaristic Northern constitution drawn up by a Northern Islamic military head of state Abdulsalami Abubakar for the benefit of the Muslim North are either ignorant of what democracy entails or they are guilty of engaging in willful hypocrisy. Nigeria runs a very corrupt quasi military feudalism modeled on the subservient ethos of the Hausa Fulani traditional emirate system of governance. That we call rulers of states in Nigeria governors or the fact they belong to political parties with stipulated tenure in office doesn’t remove the

    Benson Eziefula wrote: 2006 population figure for Anambra State was put at 4.18m. Today, the same state population is estimated to be about 8m people out of which 70% being about 5.6m are eligible to cast votes. Now, out of the 5.6m potential electorates, only about 350,000 people voted representing 6% of the electorate and 4% of the population voted. Verdict: There was gross apathy in the just concluded election. 94% of the electorate refused to vote, also, only 6% of the population voted. IPOB’s claim of election boycott is true.

    Ushi Mekushi responded to Lai Mohammed’s comment that IPOB has been diminished as a result of poor voter turn out in Anambra governorship election. This is what he had to say:
    ………………………………………………………….
    I don’t agree with Lai
    As much as everybody has their own view, I am equally entitled to my view.
    May I equally congratulate Willie Obianno for being re elected as governor of Anambra state.
    Analysis of the Election
    1. There are 5 major parties that had interest in the Anambra election
    Viz
    a) APGA
    b) PDP
    c) APC
    d) PPA
    e) IPOB
    All the above Patties had interest in the election, some one will ask what interest does IPOB has in the election, I think their interest was to boycott the election
    2. Let x-ray the outcome of the individual party interest
    Total registered voters 2,680,000
    Total votes Cast was 322,598
    So let’s share the figures below
    APGA 191159 ( officially declared winner)
    APC 77744
    PDP 52406
    PPA 1289
    Boycott 2,357,402
    The biggest questions are:
    * why did Anambra had this magnitude of boycott and why did they boycott the election?
    * who ask them to boycott the election?
    * why are over 2 million people loyal to the party that instructed them to boycott the election?
    * why are 191k people disobeyed the order and became strong loyalist to Willie?
    * what possible signal is this to the rest of the South East states?
    * what lessons did other governor’s learnt from the 191k loyalist to Willie?
    I don’t want to answer all the questions
