Mazi Odera
As soon as Gov. Theodore Orji sacked non-indigenes in the civil service of Abia State, Gov. Obi went to see him. The Abia Gov. Said that even if he returned those sacked that he would not return the people from Anambra State. He said they were his major problem in Abia and that they would not do in Abia the nonsense they do with constituted authority in Anambra. What does that tell you about our people attitude toward ndi ochichi ?.He lamented that it was ndi Anambra living in Abia that has the courage to pelt him with pure water during his campaign.
Today in Anambra, our Governor Okwute:
1. Has not borrowed money from any financial institution, whereas lagos, Enugu, Imo, Abia and most other State have either borrowed Billions or raised bonds, yet Mazi Ndibe and his group has not written a single line of commendation on the forum or is it not worthy of commendation? Borrowing is not intrinsically bad, but not as done by Governments in Nigeria.
2. Today, in Anambra, unlike in the past, Governor Obi has cleared the arrears of 18 months owned pensioners and yet Okey and his group have not written a line of commendation or are they not aware of this?
3. Today, all Anambra retirees get their pensions and gratuities in not more than two months after retirement unlike in the past when it took years and yet this is nothing to our men in journalism.
4. The only comment Ndibe made about the imposing teaching hospital under construction is the say that it is not fit to house prisoners. Fairnest is fairnest. This is pure anya ufu and ntaji anya to be kind with words!
5. Today, Anambra workers have two giant secretariats, the first since creation of the State , but it means nothing to this group of critics.
6. Today, the biggest foreign direct investment is coming up in Anambra State. The SABmiller facility will roll out production in August of 2012 .
Do they realise the economic effect that will have on the State?
7. Today, the massive development of the Anambra State university at Igbariam is taking place.
8. Talking about the minimum wage, Anambra workers went on strike despite the fact that 10,000 Naira was added to them, when Enugu merely added 5,000 and Ebonyi, Imo, Abia and many other States are yet to add anything and yet Okey and group say that workers were right to go on strike.
9. Medical Doctors are on strike, not because anybody is owing them, but because they want to be paid something in the region of 600,000 while the Governor says he can only pay something in the region of 300,000 Naira and yet uninformed group will call for the crucifixion of Obi with or without understanding the bone of contention.
10. Today, Government has built five classroom block in all the towns in Anambra and is about launching the second phase
11. Today, Obi unlike in the past have given over 200 patrol vehicles to security agencies
12. When everybody commended Chidi Asidanya and group for donating about 20,000 volumes of book to Anambra State, those that that have not donated a pencil criticised them.
13. Today, Obi is rehabilitating schools in Anambra, supplying them with computers, internet connectivity, boreholes, generators, among others, all some writers could do is to say that the gesture was misplaced.
14. In the judiciary, today Obi has built new courts: customary court of Appeal at Awka, Courts at Nnewi, Ogidi. Justice buildings at Onitsha, Otuocha, Ekwulobia.
15. The imposing business Park, 1st and second phases are nothing to this group.
16. ANIDS transport started with less than 100 vehicles, today it has over 200 vehicles all bought from money generated by Anids transport. The Tracas with us have not even bought one new vehicle.
17. Today Obi is working on 15 small town’s water schemes and this group pretend they do not know, but once a bonfire is set at AROMA, they will get the news and go to market.
18. The school of Agriculture at Mgbakwu has been completely rebuilt with 8 new buildings. To this group, this is nothing,
19. The giant building Obi erected at the State University, (Igabriam and Uli) and Nsugbe – Faculties of law, mass communication, social sciences, Biological sciences, class room blocks, among others, are swahili to this group.
20. Today, most towns in the State have primary health care building and this group are ignorant of this.
21. Tell me how many real bridges past Governors in the State built. Obi is either building or completed 15 bridges, some of which are: Ogbamabo, odor, Umuodu, Aghomili, Ebenebe,Agara, Ekure, Ubo, ottah, Otuku, okpu, among others.
22. Today Obi has procured new road equipment for maintenance of existing roads. What is delaying its taking-off is the on-going hiring of an expatriate to man it.
23. ETC,ETC,ETC
