Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra
State has revealed that the transfer of
Boko Haram prisoners to his state,
Ekwulobia prisons to be precise, was
concluded in 2012 Goodluck Jonathan
administration.
The governor, who spoke through his
Senior Special adviser on Political
Matters, Mr. Chinedu Obidigwe, said the
decision was taken during a seminar
organized for officers and men of the
Nigeria Prison Service, NPS, in which
Ekwulobia and Kuje prisons in
Anambra and Abuja respectively, were
chosen as prisons for the Boko Haram
inmates.
Funny enough, in a swift reaction, a
former Governor of the state Peter Obi
has expressed shock about the claims
by Governor Willie Obiano, describing
it as a blatant lie. Obiano's man,
Obidigwe said the transfer of Boko
Haram suspects would have been
effected immediately but for the 2015
general elections on ground that it
would affect the second term ambition
of Jonathan in the South East geo-
political zone.
Obidigwe contended that a decision
made under the nose of past
administrations in the state and the
country in general should not be
blamed on the current regime in
Anambra.
“In as much as the state government
would not want to join issues with
such section of the public, it is
important to note that the policy of
transferring Boko Haram inmates to
Anambra State had been made since
2012 under the regimes of President
Goodluck Jonathan and Mr. Peter Obi,
but for the 2015 general elections
which the then President was
contesting for a second term.
“Since the transfer of the 47 inmates,
panic had gripped the people of
Ekwulobia as residents in the area
were apprehensive of an imminent
attack by members of the Boko Haram
Islamic sect,’’he said.
But describing the claim as a blatant lie,
Peter Obi wondered how an action or a
plan concluded by a man who left
office almost 16 months ago was
being implemented now.
He said:
“The governor is clearly looking for an
alibi for an action that was against the
people. He should look elsewhere and
not in the direction of Mr. Peter Obi,
who, since he left office, had opted to
stay away from Awka and not to
distract the present government in any
way.”
Someone is lying, someone is telling
the truth. We will soon find out the
truth.
