A little comparison here may be telling enough. I wrote two articles in 2007 in the national media calling attention of the @officialABAT government in @followlasg to the absence of basic infrastructure in most parts of the Lekki Peninsula.
A little comparison here may be telling enough. I wrote two articles in 2007 in the national media calling attention of the @officialABAT government in @followlasg to the absence of basic infrastructure in most parts of the Lekki Peninsula.
On the day landlords in the area were meeting Tinubu over the state of roads in the Ajah part of the peninsula, @abati1990 , then the chairman of The Guardian editorial board, coincidentally published a third article of mine on this lack of infrastructure entitled
"Ajah-Badore Road: Open Sore of A State". Tinubu had gifted propaganda storm troopers led by Information Commissioner, Dele Alake, but he did not ask them to turn the heat on me or to remind me that I am not a Lagos indigene.
He rather asked PW, the competent Irish construction firm, to reconstruct and expand the road for a whopping N2.8 billion.
As @tundefashola was preparing to take over from Tinubu as governor, I ran into him at Murtala Muhammed International Airport,Ikeja, and complained about the poor state of the road leading to my estate.Fashola dispatched a team of engineers and surveyors to my house within days.
I now have a first class road, complete with excellent drains. Hence, Unity Estate residents did not feel the devastation of the 7 July 2011 rainfall like the rest of the peninsula.
Can anyone imagine how the Obi government would react to a Yoruba resident in Anambra State audacious enough to criticise the government for not extending considerable infrastructure to his place?
@PeterObi made all his fortune in Yorubaland, yet he does not tire of asking Anambra people to reject Ngige and his supporters in the Action Congress of Nigeria because, as he claims, the ACN is a Yoruba party, unlike his All Progressives Grand Alliance which he unabashedly
calls the Igbo party. The ACN may well be a Yoruba party, but you can never hear that from the lips of Tinubu or Fashola. Why does the Obi group mouth APGA's Igboness from the rooftops?
Does the tiger need to proclaim its tigritude, as Wole Soyinka once said about negritude philosophy? Can APGA grow in leaps and bounds by alienating non-Igbo Nigerians from it? No wonder, ACN has been waxing stronger across the nation, but not APGA. pmnewsnigeria.com/2011/08/24/how…
@Da_blessedbaby i found something else
@jeffphilips1 i went searching as you advised and see what I found!
"I stand here to raise my voice in condemnation at the charlatan and uninspiring government that Mr. Obi is running in my home state-because I am a “stakeholder” in this enterprise called Anambra State. "
I voted for Mr. Obi during his first coming because I was pleasantly seduced by his campaign promises and style. He promised to bring about a different type of government that would change the face and mind of Anambra for good; he made so many captivating promises."
His most captivating line was “are we the cause or are we cursed”? I was particularly impressed by the way he churned out his campaign strategies and manifesto and I thus voted accordingly.
Years later, I wish to own up to the fact that I genuinely believe that Mr. Obi is far from being a “performing governor”.
The hypocrisy, the propaganda and wicked lies that the government uses in its bid to deceive us enrages me;
The hypocrisy, the propaganda and wicked lies that the government uses in its bid to deceive us enrages me;
It is quite cheeky for Mr. Obi to use spin to gloss over his apparent lackluster performance in Anambra state. Billboards proclaiming the magic wand of Mr. Obi litters all over the state;
I find it a practical joke in bad taste for the Government of Anambra State to gloat about taking education to the next level. This is pure nonsense. Education in my home state is literally crumbling at an alarming rate and all the government is keen on is hype.
Now, it is true that the state government donated buses to some secondary schools in Anambra State; it is equally true that computer sets were given to schools too, but I dare say that this was purely an avenue to enrich a few folks by settling them with those contracts.
Of what use is a computer set to a school that has no electricity to power it? Who thought up this stupid idea? Mr. Obi lives in my town, Amawbia but choose rather callously to kill secondary education in that town.
For a governor that allowed Boys’ High School Amawbia to decay and fizzle away into nothingness to come out and lie to Ndi Anambra about doing so much in revamping education is unacceptable." saharareporters.com/2011/07/08/pet…
