Anambra: From Despair to Hope (1)

“Ndi Anambra, when I assumed office with my Team on March 17, 2014, we took-over a state that had no landmark infrastructure and no clear-cut strategic vision for the future. And perhaps more importantly, we met a state that was heavily traumatized by violent armed robbery, kidnapping, child-trafficking and endless cases of drug-related crimes. This crime-ridden scenario discouraged investments and successfully cut off the state from the grid of modern development. Ladies and gentlemen, my Team and I inherited a state with an average ambition but through strategic re-focusing and a commitment to excellence, we have repositioned Anambra among Nigeria’s leading states today!”
…Governor Willie Obiano

Here is a list of some important personalities that were kidnapped before Governor Obiano took over the reins of leadership.

To the glory of Almighty God, in his three and a half years in charge, there has not been one successful kidnap operation in Anambra State.

Now, tell me why anyone who wishes Anambra well would oppose Obiano’s second term…

1. Chief Pete Edochie (Nollywood Actor)
2. Chief G.U.O.OKEKE (owner GUO Motors)
3. Pokobros (Oji Isuofia, owner of Tourist Garden Hotel)
4. Igwe Robert Eze of Ukpo
5. Igwe Patrick Okeke of Abagana
6. Igwe Lawrence Oragwu of Adazi Nnukwu
7. Igwe Jerome Udechukwu of Ihembosi
8. Late Dr Chidi Nwike
9. Prince Ken Emeakayi
10. Chief Iroko, Chairman Nnewi Auto Spare-parts Dealers Association.
11. Mr Ernest Obiora, House of Assembly Member
12. Sir Toby Obi, Chairman Emeka Ofor Foundation
13. Sister to Chief Tony Ezenna, MD Orange drugs
14. A manager and Cashier of Access Bank
15. Manager of Julius Berger
17. Manager of CCC Construction Company
18. Pa Ilonyosi, Father of the Super Eagles player Chikeluo Ilonyosi
19. Madam Adafor Madueke
20. Miss Chisom Nwoye, daughter of former HOA member
21. Chief Emma Bishop Okonkwo etc.

Tell Obiano to do something about the insecurity along Niger street, Fegge, Onitsha. Those agboro boys , who daily harrass and extort both keke riders and visitors to Main-market, are often called 'Obiano boys'. This is one of the reasons I gave up on the present administration in Anambra state.

It was even rumoured then that Peter Obi was giving out loans to these kidnappers through his bank at cut-throat interest rates. Under Obi, kidnapping blossomed to become the second largest money-generating industry in Anambra state, after the consumer goods retail industry! But Obiano turned things around quickly and has since positioned Anambra to become the safest state in the country.

As if any other Governor has been able to do that? Let's tell ourselves the truth he has really tried in terms of security
