Hall of Fame: Soludo delists 1st Anambra Executive Governor, Mbadinuju


In a bid to recognise Very Important Persons( VIPs) in the state, the Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has begun what could be called a Hall of Fame for such people with graphic representations of their images( pictures) on the three major flyovers in Awka, the state capital.

Prominent amongst those so recognised ,include the late Dr Nnamdi Azikwe ( Zik), late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, late former Vice President of Nigeria. Also so recognised are former governors of the state.

Conspicuously omitted in the hall of fame is the first executive governor of the state in the current democratic dispensation, Dr Clement Chinwoke Mbadinuju. The exclusion has attracted condensations in both the traditional and social media.
Angered by the development, a social commentator, Onyemaechi Uzodi, said, " Soludo will one day become history. So, he should not treat his predecessors this bad. The omission of Mbadinuju in this exercise is standing history on its head.

CHINWOKE MBADINUJU
After the return to democracy in 1998, Chinwoke Mbadinuju became the People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Anambra State governorship in competition with professor A.B.C Nwosu, who had served four military governors as commissioner for health, after a dispute that had to be resolved by the PDP Electoral Appeal Panel.

Mbadinuju had been sponsored by Emeka Offor, an Anambra kingmaker. After a falling out between Mbadinuju and his "godfather", Offor, the power struggle between the two men crippled the machinery of government in the state. By September 2002, unpaid teachers had been on strike for a year and civil servants and court workers had been on strike for months. The president of the Onitsha branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Barnabas Igwe, said state leaders had pocketed the money meant to pay the striking workers. On 1 September 2002, Igwe and his pregnant wife Amaka were brutally and publicly assassinated by Nigerian militia men.[

While in office, Chinwoke Mbaninuju passed a law that created the Anambra Vigilante Services, which legally enshrined the Bakassi Boys, a popular if feared vigilante group credited with reducing crime in the state. Mbadinuju said that crime in the state had reached such an appalling level that something had to be done.In a November 2009 interview, Mbadinuju defended his decision on the basis of the results it achieved in reducing crime.

He later fell out with Chris Uba, another power broker or godfather in the state. Mbadinuju claimed that he was excluded from the governorship contest in 2003 despite winning the PDP primaries because Uba and President Olusegun Obasanjo opposed his candidacy. In his place, Dr. Chris Ngige ran for the PDP in the 2003 Anambra governorship.

Under Mbadinuju schools were closed and teachers on strike for a very long time

He performed poorly as Governor and was maybe the only PDP Governor of that era that failed to get re-elected

Emeka offor and co really do this man shege banza

AllTheWayUp:
CHINWOKE MBADINUJU was the worst Governor Anambra has ever produced.

No. Peter Obi was the Worst Governor of Anamika State

Soludo is a nut case

No he wasn't the only one. Rabiu Kwankwaso also failed to get reelected in 2003 under the PDP. Though he eventually made a comeback in 2011. That said I don't think Mbadiniju's one term was any worse than the combined 16 years of Orji Uzor Kalu and Theodore Orji in Abia state

Mbadinuju is easily the worst governor of Anambra state at least since 1999 so, I see no reason why his name will be in any hall of fame

Urchin has been spotted.. . ...cry more, your tears are delicious for the Agbado Ewa Diocese people to cook🤣🦇🤣🤣😆😆

School n doctors went in strike under the Pandora criminal Peter Obi as well the reason why he is reject by all Nigeria except his headless online ipob members

He once referred to pensioners as dead wood.

I did NYSC in Anambra State while Mbadinuju was governor, that guy is supposed to be in the Hall of Shame. There are too many reasons up to sending assassination gang which Mbadinuju established to kill the then NBA Chairman of Onitsha. This Mbadinuju did not even wait to handover, he fled the country before handover date. Obasanjo is such a useless idiot to have allowed all the atrocious criminalities that Mbadinuju committed. Emeka Offor also showed the man Shege Banza. That Emeka Offor will definitely not die well himself

Some people hate people for what they hear, not what they know..

That's the case of most urchins, saying
PO did nothing in Anambra state, when they themselves has never ever travelled to Anambra state, or eveb been outside their Land to see things for themselves...

Urchins, with Cap and PH.d

Gov. Soludo is playing the old politics of Roman emperors. When in doubt, attack the legacies of your predecessors, play to the gallery and hope the people don’t notice that their lives are no better. It’ll definitely backfire one day!

Is Mbadinuju not better than SoluTax?

Atleast, under Mbadinuju he was able to fix the security problem bedeviling the state unlike Soluaghara.

Under Mbadinuju, the reign of Agberoes was curtailed unlike SoluAgbero.

Under Mbadinuju, the citizens where not stupendously taxed unlike SoluTax.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Sort of like Peter Obi.

Universities were closed for 6 months and doctors absent for 13 months.

Since Soludo opposed Obi, he has become the number 1 focus of the ire of many igbos.

Nzogbu Nzogbu.

Who are those urchins that have never travelled?

Som people have been to Obisi, Abagana, Awka.

Nothing of significance was done in those places and the people of Anambra disliked Obi whilst he was in power because he was a failure.

Mbadinuju was evil. Bakassi boys killed lots of people in Anambra. People’s heads, necks, and limbs were chopped off and burnt at various squares around Anambra state. It was a terrible period. Bakassi boys held court, sentenced people to death and carried out executions in public while people watched.

Emeka Offor should be stoned to death. Sadly the practice went on. After Emeka Offor, there was Chris Uba, Eselu…these men should be taken to upper iweka while every Anambrarian will spit on and stone them. They are greedy and selfish individuals who cared only about themselves while people suffer and die.
Chris Uba is still boasting of being responsible for sponsoring politicians to the Anambra state house of assembly, commissioners etc. He and his brother Andy are unrepentant rogues.

He's Peter Obi's mentor. Their performances are very similar.

Pandora Anini was worse than Mbadinuju. Threads created by Anambrarians on the forum and tweets from present day Zombiedients lay credence to that fact.😎

TheChameleon:

Obi was worse than him. The threads are there, and they were created by present day Zombiedients. The idiots never thought this day will come.

Obi cleaned the mess of these guys.

Like mbadinuju like tinubu...evil personified.




Awka Amaka

Emeka offor and co really do this man shege banza

Scrap that name....that man incompetence went viral even to us in Niger Delta. He was just giving one wicked godfather some percentage of the state allocation.

Since he sold his brains cos of envy and jealousy, we're striving hard to put it back to factory reset

And, I ask again, in what ways is Soludo better than Mbadinuju?
