If I were the governor of Anambra State, I
will punish the staff in the liaison office who
failed to identify persons claiming to be from
Anambra State , and bringing them home if
confirmed, provided to got their allocation from
the budget , and as governor of Lagos, I would
punish those who brought in 14 persons into
Onitsha and failed to do a proper handover for
any reason, even if one side failed to turn up’
–Senator Ngige
Senator representing Anambra Central
Senatorial District and front line governorship
aspirant on the platform of All Progressive
Congress (APC), Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige has
asked the people of Awka in Anambra State to
rejoice in measured steps as the plan for Awka
as contained in the Constituency projects for
the area is not fully yet realized.
Awka recently got a boost in their electric
supply with the injection of six megawatts of
electricity into the Agu-Awka sub-station via
the Enugu supply line, one of the three major
supply lines emplaced into the appropriation
bill by the Senate Committee on Power, where
Ngige is Vice Chairman.
This development reflected in the tumultuous
reception given to Ngige when he arrive Awka
at the weekend for the last phase of his third
quarter town hall meetings and thank you visit
to the federal constituency comprising Awka
North and South Local Government Areas
The other two are the new Onitsha industrial
supply line from Benin City and the Nnewi
supply line through Aba axis.
According to Ngige, ‘It is not yet time for
Awka to celebrate as this is only a test-
transmission, which at the end will lead to the
introduction of 15 megawatts and then 30 in
quick succession.
Ngige noted that it is only one step in a long
journey to raising Awka from the
underdeveloped capital it is now, into a capital
city that Ndi Anambra will be proud of, when
you have elected me in to the governorship
seat from March Next year’.
Ngige spoke at his last of the three third-
quarter constituency meetings, which also
afforded Nigeria’s busiest and most
productive senators the chance to thank the
people of the federal constituency for their
massive support during the senatorial elections.
Ngige also seized the moment to pooh pooh
those who claim that he in not active in the
Senate saying that it is either they do not have
television sets in their house or they are not in
the proper frame of mind to appreciate hard
work and results’
He explained that what he is doing in the
Senate is complete legislative work , which
bother on teamwork and not a scamper to take
credit for bills which may not add to the quality
of people’s lives adding that ‘that is not
enough for anyone to begin to sponsor
negative reports in the media to serve his own
narrow interests’
According to Ngige, why should those who
speared this poison forget our anti-Gay Bill co-
sponsored by me? Why did they forget that the
Health committee that I belong to sponsored
the Bill for the review of the National Health
Insurance Scheme and that it even takes the
sponsors of the bill and its opposers to give
value to the legislative aprt of a senator’s
business.’
On a lighter note Ngige added: ‘But assuming
without conceding that I was not an active
senator, why are the same mischief makers
reluctant to support me to return to the
governorship position, which they accept I did
well?’.
Will they refuse to move forward and refuse to
clear the road? Ngige asked in Igbo shortly
before the question and answer session.
Although he did not name anyone, observers
believed it was a veiled reference to Gov. Peter
Obi who has referred to Senator Ngige on three
different occasions as an inactive senator.
Ngige took time to explain to the constituents
his potion on the repatriation of destitute to
Anambra, noting that ‘I went to Lagos in
anger because I cannot be in the same party
with the Lagos State governor and my people
will be maltreated’, but was surprised to be
shown documents showing that Lagos State
government had been in communication with
Anambra State since April 09, 2013, and yet
Anambra State government could not work out
an adequate response to Lagos’
‘If Anambra State government had any
misgivings about the intentions of the Lagos
State government, they had ample time to say
so’ Ngige said adding that I received the kind
of letters Obi received when I was the governor
of Anambra State and I did not neglect the
people like they did, but took custody and
adequate care of them’
Continuing he said that when Lagos now called
to remind the liason Officer, and to find out why
she was yet to identify the people who claimed
to come from Anambra he claimed that they
had no funds to run the Alison office in Lagos’
Ngige blamed Anambra State government for
gross neglect of duty and also blamed the
emissaries from Lagos for dropping the 14
persons they brought home under tight
security without signatures, noting that if it
was senior offices that were sent, they should
have known that they should check into a hotel
when their Anambra State counterparts failed
to show up to receive them.’
In conclusion Ngige noted that as a governor, I
would have punished the Anambra State
Liaison Office r in Lagos for neglecting their
duty, provided I have released the funds
budgeted for the office, and as Lagos State
governor, I would punish those people who
now deposited person in their care in a
government office without handing over to
anybody in particular.
He therefore noted that since both sides have
their issues, it is better to learn from that and
proceed ,noting that inter-governmental
relations is not consummated on the pages of
newspapers as Anambra State government
tried to portray.
