Obiano's Aide Speaks on the 75 Billion Naira Obi
left
"On the N75bn – Since their recent political
misadventure in Abuja, former Governor Obi and
his handlers have returned to seek for a new
foothold in Anambra State with a basket of lies
and half-truths.
The most embarrassing of their recent gambit is
the adoption of the N75bn he
purportedly handed over to Obiano as their new
swansong. Obi himself has been moving around
radio stations to remind Ndi Anambra that he left
N75bn in his handover note.
A corollary to this seeming anxiety to perpetuate
his legacy is the fact that at no time has
Governor Obiano or his spokesmen challenged
this hefty claim. Quite naturally, that bridge shall
be crossed one day, but this is neither the time
nor the place. The question then is, why does Obi
feel extremely anxious to drum up this particular
legacy?
Is Anambra State not better today than he left it?
Are workers' salaries not being paid regularly
even with the increment? And perhaps more
importantly, has anyone complained to them that
the state has become insolvent? Or is there
something hidden under the carpet that they hope
to conceal by regularly waving this particular
legacy in our faces? Whatever the case may be, it
remains the prerogative of the Governor of
Anambra State to clear the air on what he
inherited from his predecessor. It is also his
choice to decide if it is necessary to break his
silence and when it is appropriate to break that
silence on it. Until then, Joe Martins Uzodike and
his friends can carry on with their dance in the
market square!
