Willie M. Obiano Must Go " The Horizon Group

A youth association in Anambra state, the Horizon Group, on Wednesday said its desire to change the government in the state was because Governor Willie Obiano had under performed.

The convener of the group, Mr Arinze Igboeli, in a press conference in Awka, Anambra state said it would be disastrous for electorate in the state to return Obiano for a second tenure when he had failed to deliver dividends of democracy to the people of the state.

Igboeli said: “When the Obiano administration came into power, it harped on the message of continuity.

He said he would “complete projects left behind by the Obi administration; develop all sectors of Anambra simultaneously; improve on the quality of life in Anambra through good governance; continue on the state of low indebtedness, run government with great sense or degree of inclusiveness and run a prudent and lean government”.

“Sadly, Anambra people have long discovered that what our governor said about continuity is indeed different from what the word ordinarily means.

“The administration began with a poor start through the mismanagement of our state’s resources. Daily, we were inundated with high level of profligacy exhibited by the administration.

“At first we thought these were merely tell-tale meant to discredit his administration.

However, we were forced to begin to see such tales as truth when the government made a volte face on the amount of money left for it by the Peter Obi administration.

“After three years in office, the Obiano administration cannot show any project of note it had completed. We have therefore come to the decision that Governor Obiano, following his dismal failure as governor, should not seek, accept or run again for the office of governor as another term for him will surely cast the state further deep down the doldrums.”

The group accused the governor of distributing the wealth of the state to his cronies, alleging that appointments and contracts under Obiano were not made on merit.

Reacting, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on media, Mr James Eze said the youth group was paid by detractors to undermine the giant strides of Obiano in the state.

But, does this translate that they're dearths of leaders in African? Read on. It's true that leadership in Africa is currently being led by those whom political profiteering has become an unquenchable vision- Men whose drive is their personal enrichment; the prosperity of the nation becomes a lesser issue to that of themselves.
