RE: BUDGET PADDING SCANDAL HIT ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNMENT

-- Losers and Detractors at work.’’

The misinformation in the referenced article above should evoke pity for the purveyors in the light of the manifest ignorance boldly couriered in every paragraph of the hasty piece of distraction. Bad as it is, no credible reporter has signed this off, establishing it for what it is; lazy propaganda!

For clarity, it is important we state that we are not oblivious of the diversionary antics of;

1. Those whose lucrative criminal enterprise is being smoked out by our renewed fight against all forms criminality in the State, housed in various camps and bushes perpetrating heinous crimes.

2. Those whose source of livelihood is government money and patronage as a result of free oil money which sadly has stopped coming given the paucity of revenues coming from Abuja. Currently, to even fund infrastructural development we would of course have to borrow until our internally generated revenue (IGR) is gotten to a point where we meet these obligations. In doing this, we owe it as a duty to ndị Anambra to ensure that every penny of our borrowed funds is accounted for, and deployed to building quality infrastructure, and not for consumption.

We are moving to the next stage of making Anambra state a livable and prosperous smart mega city by confronting head-on the infrastructural decay in our beloved state. The road infrastructure in our state is in such deplorable situation that the Solution Governor has declared a state of emergency on the road infrastructure with an unprecedented budget allocation of about 64% percent of the capital budget and an ambitious target of flagging off at least 220km of roads as soon as the rains abate; with this ambitious programme and knowing fully, that failure does not exist in our determined minds, the detractors are at loss and are raising the battle cry with the sole aim of trying to scuttle our determination with all manners of blackmail.

They claimed that the commissioner for works refused to appear before the state Assembly to defend the budget. This again is the figment of the imagination of the unknown writers with the intent of creating rancor between the executive and the members of the house of Assembly. The commissioner for works and infrastructure was, indeed, the first Commissioner to appear before the house committee on the first day of the budget defense being 29th of June, 2022 at about 10.00AM. This is on record and was captured by the Press.

On the cost of road per kilometer, it is funny that the “Unknown Writer” like his counterpart, the “unknown gunmen”, is using propaganda and deceit to hoodwink the unsuspecting public. How do you start talking about the cost of contract for roads currently being designed and contract not awarded? Very funny!Of course people always judge others by their own standards.

Since the “unknown writer” made dubious comparisons to previous administrations, it is important that we place on record for the purposes of Ndi Anambra who employed us and to whom we are accountable, that the previous administrations awarded roads with the cost per kilometer varying from above One billion Naira per kilometer to a little over Two Hundred Million Naira per kilometer when diesel was about One Hundred and Twenty naira (N120) per liter and asphalt was about Eighteen thousand Naira (N18,000) per ton. Of course, cost per kilometer depends on several factors including the topography, soil texture, design, stone base or just on laterite, overall quality etc.

Examples of the roads awarded by our predecessors and their costs per kilometer include but not limited to:

Construction of;

>> Awkuzu-Nteje-Umueri Airport Road
Length of road 5.2Km
Date awarded: 2015
Award Sum: N6,550,000,000.00
Cost Per Kilometer: N1,259,615,384.61

>> Construction of Section 2 Nmiata- Nzam Road
Lenght of Road: 10.5km
Date Awarded December,2014
Award Sum N10,030,992,206.44.
Cost per kilometer N980,952,380.95

>> Construction of Afor Oroma-Umudora – Umuikwu-Onono with spur to Umueze Anam/Nzam/Kogi federal high way road.
Length: 18.518Km
Date of Award: April 2018
Award Sum: N5,592,438,115.69
Cost per Kilometer N302,000,114.25

>>Amansea-Ebenebe-Ugbenu-Ugbene-Awba Ofemili
Length: 26Km
Date of award: 2009
Award Sum: N7,816,193,590.63
Cost per kilometer N300,622,830.41

>> Rehabilitation of Upper Iweka-Zik roundabout and Amawbia roundabout-Amansea Bridge
Length: 23.47Km
Date of Award : 2012/2013
Award Sum:N10,636,799,741.81
Cost per Kilometer: N462,469,553.99

>> Ajali-Akpo-Nawfija-Ufuma Ogbunka Road
Length: 16.2Km
Date of Award: 2017
Award Sum:N6,509,966,773.51
Cost per Kilometer N408,022,640.34

>> Construction of Ukwuoji-Awka-Umuelechi Villiage-Ifite Nibo-Isiagu Road
Length: 2.9km
Date of Award: 2017
Award Sum:N608,570,640.25
Cost per Kilometer N208, 058,338

These are samples of roads awarded between 2009 and 2018, none of them cost less than N200,000,000.00 per kilometer at a time when price of diesel was about N120/liter and asphalt was about or less than N18,000 per ton.

It is also on record that none of our predecessors awarded any road for less than Two Hundred Million Naira per Kilometer.
Comparatively, these basic costs of major materials for road construction now stands as follows;

-- Diesel N850/Liter,
-- Asphalt N65,000/ton currently in 2022 and the cost as of 2018 and below.

This shows an increase of over 708% for diesel and 361% for asphalt, making it almost impossible to get any standard or durable road at N200,000,000 per kilometer that can be guaranteed to last more than 15 years with heavy traffic as in most parts of Anambra.

Of course, one can even get a road for less than One hundred Million Naira by spreading sand and lean asphalt on it to be washed away within one raining season. Fortunately, this is not the Soludo standard. Soludo promised and will deliver quality roads to Ndi Anambra at the cheapest price possible.

The losers of the new order will continue to try desperate acts to fight back but we remain focused on doing the people’s work. During the dry season, Ndi Anambra will see the mass action on their roads and Anambra will continue to win.

biafla wetting? you never hear the anthem that Ebonyi people are not Biafra?


we are proud Nigerians and will remain in the SE as Sabos

You're a fool.....and that's me putting it mildly!

Asuming Ndigbo leave for a Biafra Republic, what makes you think deluded mofos like you and Umahi will speak for the entire Ebonyi and declare they're staying behind in 'one Nigeria' to continue the lovefest with the Fulani and Yoruba!?

See a so called Igbo declaring he's a 'proud Nigerian'! Pray, on what basis should any Igbo that's not deluded and lying to themselves declare to be proud of Nigeria!? Heck!....even lots of other Nigerians would tell you right now that they're not proud to be Nigerian, and it's you that wants to be more catholic than the Pope!

Thunder scatta your family there, manipulative liar

What do you even need Ebonyi for ? Go and bother about Rivers that you need their oil and ocean access, Ebonyi state has nothing to offer you.



Useless cûnt, you want Ebonyi in Biafra so you can be the Fulani in the Republic; the master while Ebonyi remains the oppressed. You think we have forgotten how your fathers treated Ebonyi state during the first and second Republic? And how their children continue to treat Ebonyi people till today?



Come and force Ebonyi into Biafra naa. Why do you think no prominent Ebonyi politician even in PDP, none castigated Dave for saying Ebonyi will never be part of Biafra ?

Get your facts right.

Oga rest. Ebonyi don't want to leave one country into another one that calls them second class people. You have heard it loud and clear and nothing will change our mind.

Be rest assured.

We need development, sanity in Anambra state.

Nsukka man, no Anambra girl will date an nsukka man because you people are inferior 3rd class igbos.

You're actually a sad basstad. From 2012 to 2022. The consistency is sickening

It shows you're not a small boy and yet have been on this same drive

Well this just shows the nature of the typical black man. I guess it's human nature especially in this continent

Alot of people will pretend as if you're just a troll or claim you aren't an Igbo man but the truth is that you're an Igbo man and there are so many others like you with this divisive mindset

I'm not from this places you've been beefing but I will understand anybody from there that decides to disassociate themselves from Igbos. No wonder the ikwerre and ika people have disassociated themselves from Igbos

It's well keep doing what you're doing since it clearly makes you feel fulfiled

You are actually a cursed frustrated bastard. You have switched one of your numerous monikers to spew another nonsense.

Right from 2010, you have continued to be a nuisance that you may actually need deliverance to be sane again.

I have no apology for what I said, ebonyi people are inferior 3rd class in Igbos, you people are in most cases not igbos. I know how offended and hurt you are but truth must remain the truth.

Ikwerre people are more honourable, educated and useful than ebonyi people. Ikwerre people also speak Igbo language but ebonyi people don't speak Igbo language.

I just dey wonder how you look in real life and the state of your mental health the consistency is wild I just can't imagine it from 2010 to 2022 you've been this frustrated and on the same vibe almost like you no dey grow up. Nna kudos to you despite how negative your existence is

But hope you realize you're matured man

So na from 2010 you begin behave like this

I just checked your profile and saw 2012 and then checked your post by going to your first post and then saw all this bile

No wonder your first post in 2012 is still similar to your post in 2022

With attitude like yours its a good thing umahi said his people won't be joining Biafra. Hopefully other ebonyi people join that school of thought and focus on Nigeria and improving their state

Because Igbo people have shown that we are not ready

Ebubu3:


Next up is Abakaliki people

Na u sabi

Ebubu3:
;EBONYI IS THE EDUCATIONALLY MOST BACKWARD STATE IN NIGERIA

Murphy ibiam, what screenshot means is that Anambra is the most educationally advanced state in Nigeria because most people in the state are literate unlike ebonyi where over 90% of the people are stark illiterates

Ebubu3:


Next up is Abakaliki people

Ebonyi people are originally not igbos. Even igbos are the one trying everything to push you people out. Ebonyi people in most cases are regarded as awusa just like this man

Tellwhat:

Na u sabi

I am from Ebonyi and we will never be part of Biafra.

Has any Ebonyi politician even in the opposition party come out to warn Dave after Dave said Ebonyi is not part of Biafra?


Silence is consent.

Ebonyi will NEVER be part of Biafra.


President Buhari can not pass two nights inside a state he fears belong to secessionists. Get that right. He slept for two nights inside Ebonyi state this year, and in 2017.

Ebonyi is Nigerian and Nigeria Govt will do all it takes to ensure Biafra doesn't leave with Ebonyi.

Stop mentioning Ebonyi and I will stay away.

Ebubu3:

Who has time for such nemesis?

Murphy, no sane igbo man would want ebonyi to be part of Biafra, because ebonyi will be a liability. Ebonyi people are mostly illiterates. Ebonyi people are miscreants. Ebonyi has nothing to offer in Biafra, because Biafra will be about what anyone brings to the table.
