Former Anambra Council Chairmen have written an angry letter to Governor Willie Obiano voicing their objection to the poor handling of local government funds/development affairs as well as deliberate attempts to sideline them.
The letter addressed to the Governor and copied to Chief Victor Umeh, Ozo Victor Oye, Speaker,Anambra State House of Assembly, the Obi of Onitsha among others, brings to the fore boiling issue that could detail Obiano's second term bid.

The letter dated April 25, 2017 was signed by the ex chairmen of the 21 local govt areas of the state under the umbrella body of Forum of Ex Local Govt Chairmen (2014-2016).
According to the letter, the elected former local government chairmen gave Gov Obiano a 14 day ultimatum to pay their take home package amounting to about N21 million to each of the immediate past LG chairmen or they will use all media and legal ventures to force him to do so.
In a 4 page letter, the ex LGA chairmen exposed how Obiano seized all the FAAC allocations belonging to local governments and squandered them. They also accused Obiano of intimidation while in Office as well as frequently accusing them of being 'Peter Obi or Victor Umeh boys', thus, reminding them that he knew how their names were rigged and favoured during LG election.

The ex chairmen further claimed that the over N70 billion Local Government funds was diverted by Gov Obiano.
They went ahead to lament how Obiano made them politically useless while in Office as they were not involved in political decisions even in the party neither were they allowed to do any project in their LG.

Apart from the FAAC allocations, the letter went further to expose other local govt funds gov Obiano diverted as;
1. Sure-P fund for rural poverty alleviation.
2. Local govt IGR
3. FG intervention funds for LGs.
4. Excess crude oil fund
5. Ecological fund
6. Funds from Donor Agencies
7. Funds for MDGs.
They therefore lamented that they were not appreciated despite their loyalty to APGA govt and vowed to fight for their right.
Recall that over 317 councillors took the gov to court on similar accusation. The govt is owning each councillor over 9 million naira and only managed to pay them 640,000 each late last year.

The exposure by the elected ex local govt chairmen is enough for EFCC to commence investigations on the alleged fraud at the local councils.
The ex chairmen have equally threatened to make public all the documents that will nail gov Obiano in due course.

Ugu leave exportation- scam
Flooding nigeria with rice- scam


His only notable achievement re construction of the counterfeit suspension bridge, production of loaves of bread with is picture as the brand logo, and the recent forest he just cleared claiming to be the proposed International airport.

Even Fayose cleared same in Ekiti too, claiming it's an airport.

I tire,
Man swallow man attitude of our leaders in Nigerian is becoming something else.

Oya! Obiano e-worriors over to you,
What do you have to say.

This is a to show that all Nigerian politicians are thieves and this current system is aiding them...

The youths need to demand for a change
We need to restructure or we perish
The time is now

To show you the authenticity of his claims

This is why i hate state assembly members,if not because of their foolish loyalty, the issue of local government autonomy would have seen the light of the day in the last regime.
Now local government chairmen and councillors are like rats in the eyes of any Governor.He can wake up any day and wave them bye bye making it practically impossible for them to put their feet down against any Governor.
I remember during OBJ first tenure when LGAS had autonomy one chairman in my state was alway telling the Governor what he didn't want to hear; but not now that the electoral umpire is in the Governors hand, the primary is also in his hand, let me not talk abt the tenure where some have decided to reduce it to 2years instead of increasing to 4years.
Nigeria will take additional 100years to catch up a little with other develop country only if we will not go our different ways by then.
