A group under the aegis of the Anambra Youth Vanguard (AYV) has raised alarm over the depraved plan by the Governor of the Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano to divert funds to the tune of N10 billion collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria on friday under the guise of Infrastructural grant and paid into Fidelity bank PLC.
The group’s coordinator, Comrade Ndubuisi Okeke, who made this assertion on saturday said that the N10 billion collected by Governor Willie Obiano for infrastructural development faces a pertinent question: Will this grant be used for infrastructural development or diverted by Obiano for his selfish and cancerous agenda in preparation for his re-election? The group also pointed that Governor Obiano’s financial management skills are highly questionable.
“From all indications, the major preoccupation of the current Anambra Government led by Governor Willie Obiano is re-election. He has already set the wheels in motion in a bid to retain his seat, giving birth to the latest grant of N10 billion he just secured from the Central Bank of Nigeria last friday, and same was deposited into Fidelity bank PLC. With his high level of financial irresponsibility, mismanagement and recklessness, it is clear to see why Governor Obiano needs this money and what he intends to do with it. He has started pooling funds meant for the infrastructural development of the state and storing same for electioneering campaigns. Before him, Governor Peter Obi and Ngige never borrowed. Governor Peter Obi even left a whooping sum of N75 billion which he, Governor Obiano has squandered to the last kobo. He has gone borrowing from left to right. Governor Obiano should and must tell Anambrarians what the N10billion grant he collected from the Central Bank is meant for and how he intends to spend it. Ndi Anambra need to see his action plan. He needs to be held accountable because his impunity is becoming shocking. Borrowing for Politics as against development will torment future development of Anambra and we call Governor Obiano to rethink what he has set out to do”, Okeke asserted.
The group also called on all Anambra youths to join in the fight against corruption in Anambra state and lend their voices to the demand for accountability, transparency and financial responsibility. It further reiterated its resolve to keep educating the good people of Anambra state on governance and what to demand from it.
