"Why APGA May Lose Anambra State Come 2017" Pope Obinna

A Detailed Opinion Poll And An Independent Clinical Analysis of
The Realities on Ground Has Shown that Allowing Governor Willie
Obiano to Emerge as APGA Guber Candidate in 2017 will amount
to APGA Losing Ananmbra State Forever and Signal The Official
Death of APGA as a political party.

By Pope Obinna Tony Amaefuna

This indeed is a very trying time for APGA and all party faithfuls

all over the world.

The "Onye aghana Nwanne Ya" spirit left the party the moment

Peter Obi forced the relatively unknown Willie Obiano from a

swimming pool in Texas down our throats. These days, APGA

aghalugo Ndi Anambra State.

The glory days of this once great part is over. What is left is a

gang of sycophants masquerading as party men who dosnt care

even if Willie sends this great state into recession.

This cadre of party-men only care about the size of the

envelopes and largess they stand to get while damning the

consequences of defending the brazen squandermania of state

resources and Agulerization of the polity going on in Anambra

State.

Their is Nobody Left to Vote for Willie Come 2017

The professionals, Industrialists and business people are the

worse hit by Willie's recklessness. The average Anambra based

businessman is not happy with Willie. Ignore the businessmen

based in Sapele, Lagos or Port Harcourt shouting Willie is working

because they dont understand the realities on ground. This

government for the first time in the history of the state increased

tax by 300%. Most Industries struggling to stay afloat in this hard

economic times has been closed down after they were forced

under Willie's new tax regime to pay outrageous sums in tax to a

government that has done nothing for them.

Prince Arthur Eze, has dumped APGA and has withdrawn his

support because of the level of Willie's unpopularity and his

blatant attempt to wreck Anambra State via Agulerization.

An Industrialist Mr Anayo Okoli, The Managing Director of Candour

Plastic industries told Newsmen that the company years past

paid 120,000 per annum before Willie's new policy and now they

were forced to pay N475,000 per annum in this difficult time.

Another Anambra business man and industrialist Mr. Chuka

Palodis Ilodi has been crying out on social media ever since Willie

closed down his business and forced him into bankruptcy for no

reason.

Stine industries (Makers of Anambra Rice) who the government

claims to support is slowly going out of business because Gov.

Willie Obiano has threatened to boycott the company unless he is

allowed to print his photograph on the bags of rice. The

unfortunate thing however is that the photograph according

anonymous sources from the company caused "BAD MARKET"

for the rice because the typical Anambra market Men and women

refused to buy the rice out of hatred for Willie. The management

of the company also bemoans the inability of the state

government to attract reasonable investment of power generation

as PHCN is ruining the company productivity.

industrialsits like INNOSON who have invested billions in the state

was abandoned immediately Willie came to office. Anambra State

is producing cars yet Willie went to Toyota and bought cars at the

inflated cost of N28million each simple because INNOSON did

not agree to assist him in stealing and squandering Anambra

money to quoting the cost of a N2million per car to be

N28Million per car. hence he dumped our own brother and APGA

supporter INNOSON

Who is left to vote for Willie?

The Church has also dumped Willie because of his recklessness

and favoritism. ON Saturday, September 13, 2014, Bishops in the

Anglican Communion in all dioceses in Anambra State defied the

heavy downpour of the day to march in the streets of Onitsha to

protest against Gov. Willie Obiano. This was no ordinary protest.

Their lordships had taken some time to denounce what they

called the systematic marginalization of the Anglican Communion

by the state government. They swore that Obiano will never

remain governor come 2017 after he gave the catholic church a

higher amount of money while the Anglican church received a

paltry sum. Losing the votes of the Anglican church though a

minority still remains a heavy influence which cannot be ignored

on the polls.

On the other hand,

Catholic faithfuls are also kicking against what they called mistake

of 2013 election . They says that Obiano is just opposite of Peter

Obi whom they believed did great job in the state .For some of

them , if APGA insist on Obiano ,then they will vote against him

and the party in 2017.

The Academics are wailing. The universities has been neglected

and no tangible investment or achievement has been recorded in

over 24months regardless of the fact that this government

inherited N75billion. This same governor who inherited such a

robust state directed the VC of ANAMBRA STATE UNIVERSITY

[ANSU] to increase school fees of the students to enable the

school generate more fund that the Government will squander in a

champagne fueled jamboree. This same government levied

PRIMARY SCHOOL HEADMASTERS 15,000 NAIRA EACH in guise

of giving them seminar and the seminar never happened.

This same APGA Governor in collaboration with PPSSC and

Ministry of education forced every teacher to buy laptop from

them through a proxy at the tune of 90,000 which will be

deducted from teachers account at three installments. the laptops

are worth 45,000 at market price and the academics are yet to

recover from the crude shock and day light robbery

As part of measure to raise money, Anambra today levies N150

per Student in secondary school per term as examination levy.

They pay this directly to the Bank, multiply the numbers of

Students with the said amount

Why would the academics, professors, teachers and student vote

for Willie come 2017?

The sports sector has also been abandoned. Most stadiums built

by the past administration are in ruins. Onitsha people are not

happy that Willie Obiano has Abandoned the Stadium at Awka

road and Fegge to rot. Both stadiums are in a state of great

disrepair. Even the noble ventures and capital investment in

sports by some great Anambarians like Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah

and others who has a think home mentality has not been

recognized, supported or promoted by the government of the

day.

How will the Students, the youths and Sports lovers at large vote

a man who has displayed zero commitment to sports? Tell me

how?

Indeed all Anambarians have in one way or another been

negatively affected by the senseless squandermania and crude

style of taxation being witnessed in Anambra State.

The contractors are worse hit. These days, The qualification for

bidding for a contract at Agu Awka is to be an Indigene of

Aguleri. Anything else, You are on your own.

How then will The professionals, Business people and the

industrialists heal their broken hearts and businesses to vote for

Willie come 2017?

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

The market women are wailing. They have been dislodged, Many

were wounded, maimed and beaten silly before being thrown out

of their shops. The most recent one occurred at "Ahia COKE"

along the Onitsha-Asaba Expressway. These women know

nothing else except that Willie used OSHA brigade to throw away

their livelihoods.

How Will they vote for Willie?

The IPOB and MASSOB boys were also not spared. They were

slaughtered in their numbers. Anambra State was unfortunately

the only State that witnessed a massacre and serious loss of

lives during the peaceful protests. When you take time and listen

to Radio Biafra. You will realize that only a man whom plans to

fail will give Willie APGA ticket come 2017 The Average IPOB

member hates Willie and that hatred has a passionate element

enshrined because innocent blood has been shed.

How will they Vote for Willie?

What is left of APGA under Willie is the carcass just bearing the

same name of this once great party. Since their is nothing to

show for his time in office, His Aides often resort to uploading

photos of achievement of the past administrations claiming that it

was done by Willie. that is actually meant to deviate attention

rather than allow us to think straight. We must concentrate on

finding our common enemy and redirecting our political radar once

and for all for the common interest of APGA

Our electorate now looks forward to supporting a firm,

institutional like, and poised APGA leadership which will guide the

party into federal relevance.

Even in the southeastern governors forum, Willie is an outsider

with little or no influence, How then do we expect APGA to grow

beyond Anambra State when Wille cannot even influence

decisions at the regional level?

.

APGA has been held hostage and is suffering for the imposition

of Willie Obiano on the party by Mr Peter Obi. The party cannot

afford to continue in the grip of political hijackers who had no

grass root political experience. I call them political hijackers

because they were never there at the time of the formation of the

party, and so did not share in the vision. I see Willie as detached

from reality. If you look at the confusion that is going on, You will

find out that APGA aghalu go a lot of people especially those

who worked hard for the party in its formative days.

I call on all true sincere party-men and lovers/supporters of

APGA to please pause and think. We need to keep sycophancy

aside and re-strategize. We must sit down and consider what will

become of us all if Willie loses, What will become of this great

party, What will become of the FEDERAL IGBO POLITICAL

AGENDA of APGA if Willie loses 2017. of course we all know the

truth. Willie Cannot Win. Not with his level of economic

recklessness, Squandermania, UNIGBONESS and draconian

economic policies.

Even the praise singers and sycophant are not happy with willie

after he slashed their pay by 50%. So who is left to vote for

Willie? Majority of them has openly dumped Willie and would have

dumped APGA entirely if not for the grassroot influence of Victor

Umeh

In just Over 2 years, The local Currency component totaling close

to N30 Billion naira in cash left by Mr Peter Obi has been spent,

the assets/investment are being sold to companies of doubtful

ownership, like the Onitsha Hotel and Convention Centre.

In Just Over 2 years, Governor Willie is already borrowing billions

without any clear investment or repayment plans. Even the 156

Million Dollars (about 26 Billion Naira) saved in foreign currency is

valued at over 38 Billion Naira due to interest accrued and rate of

exchange. Obiano has not added one dollar to the savings after

over two years in office.

Against common sense, Governor Obiano through the office of

the First Lady spent sums close to N1billion on Christmas

lights / decorations and fireworks whereas many roads in

Anambra State are begging for rehabilitation.

Against common sense, Governor Obiano banned Okada. A

sensible first term governor who had the interest of his party

structure at heart would never make such a decision and enforce

it on his first term.

Against common sense, Governor Obiano in this 21st century

Spent Almost N1Billion on buying and feeding horses. As at

today The where about of these horse are still unconfirmed as

some reports suggest that they horses has been slaughtered for

meat because of the economic meltdown.

Against Common sense, Governor Obiano spent N15billion on

erecting piles of concrete at a federal highway in Awka without

approval or repayment plan from the federal government. These

piles of concrete has now started causing untold traffic gridlock

on the same road.

The list of Willie's financial recklessness goes on and on

WHAT APGA MUST DO TO SURVIVE

APGA as a party must start hunting for Willie's replacement

immediately because if Willie is allowed to carry the party flag

come 2017, APGA will lose this state and cease to exist as a

party.

APGA must start thinking beyond Anambra State and its poor

southern region presence. APGA should go for a candidate who

has a federal capacity and a zeal to reach-out and reconcile all

aggrieved partymen beyond state borders not a man who didnt

know people like Rochas Okorocha and other Southeastern

political bigwigs prior to 2013.

APGA must start thinking home. We must never allow an unknown

individual without any stake on ground to be imported from

Europe or the Americas to come and collect party ticket as was

done in 2013.

APGA needs a grassroot man who has visible investment in the

state not a returnee who dosnt care about Anambra people or

their investments.

APGA needs an economic guru who has established his/herself in

private entreprise

APGA needs Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah . Unfortunately Ifeanyi Ubah

does not need APGA.

For APGA to survive, the BOT should as a matter of urgency

approach Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah and Persuade him to rethink his

decision and run.

The miracle of 2013 cannot happen anymore because there is no

goodwill and track record to make it happen again

Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah is the only option for the survival of our

great party.
