Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state yesterday
took the former Governor; Mr Peter Obi (CON) to the cleaners over the 90
million US Dollars Obi said he kept as savings for the future of Ndi Anambra
yet unborn.
Senior Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on
Interparty/ Political Matters, Chief Ben Obi who floored the investment of over
90 million US Dollars amounting to over N162 Billion naira by the former
Governor Peter Obi at the twilight of his administration, said there was no
need to save the money as it slowed Obiano’s administration.
In an Exclusive press statement in Awka made
available to www.odogwublog.com Chief Obi said it is anti development for
the Ex Governor Obi to have invested the whooping amount of money three months
before the new administration of Chief Willie Obiano takes over as the new
administration would have depended on the money to function.
He wondered why the investment maturity should be
for 7 years before it would be assessed when the Obiano administration would
last for four years in the first instance, unless he is seeking for a second
term.
The Join Jonathan Journey (JJJ) campaign Coordinator
said it is preposterous for out of the 3 investment portfolios including
fidelity Securities, Diamond Bank and Access Bank, only Fidelity Securities
limited has not paid the state government interests accruable from the
investment as agreed they would be doing on yearly basis.
He said Access bank and Diamond bank have brought
their interests worth several Millions of naira to the state government and
called on Fidelity bank to hasten and fulfill its part of the bargain.
Chief Obi further said that the former Governor Obi
could have fixed the money in the fixed deposit several months before his
tenure was due rather than when he was due to leave office.
His words,’’ why would the former Governor , Mr
peter Obi fix the 90 Million Dollars for 7 years maturity, knowing full well
that his administration ends in 3 months? Is it not to ensure that the new
administration of Chief Willie Obiano , Akpokuedike does not have access to the
money for 4 years his administration will last? Why must he fix the money, a
whooping 90 million US Dollars when he knows he awarded many contracts and
contractors are being owed? Won’t the contractors be paid? We owe so many
contractors before he left government and we are still owing, so I am saying
this is a trap he set for Obiano. I am warning that PDP should be careful with him
too.
Former Governor Peter Obi had in his handover note
to the incumbent Governor Willie Obiano on March 17th, 2014
summarized his financial statement as at March 3rd, 2014 thus local investment –N27,000,000,000; Foreign
currency investment of 156 Million US Dollars and certified state/MDA’s
balances of N28, 165, 985, 574.06 as well as FGN Approved refund of N10 Billion
. These amounts, the former Governor said in his hand over totaled N91,
665,985,574.06 even as he added that the statements will supplement any gaps
related to financial matters that are not included in the handover report.
The former Governor concluded that Anambra as at
that day he handed over was strong financially, economically and indeed
psychologically. He added that there was sanity, political civility and over
all decorum which was far from where he took over in 2003. He informed further
that Anambra state under him showed that with clear vision, proper planning and
frugal management of her resources, a lot can be achieved.
But the incumbent Governor Obiano’s Political
Adviser on Interparty/political matters could not hear of such and he punctured
the investments of Obi saying the investment was anti democracy, anti Christ
and anti development and anti growth.
Chief Obi who was former Governor Peter Obi’s
political Adviser said Obi intentionally fixed all the 90 Million US Dollars,
Obiano could have started his administration with to frustrate good governance
and flow of democratic dividends to the people and thereby pitching Obiano with
the masses as he would not see resources to operate.
He insisted that the fixed deposit by former
Governor Peter Obi should be revoked for Obiano to see money to galvanize his
government to work for the people, as the savings according to him was anti people
and as well undemocratic judging by numerous projects that abound in the state
now including the ones awarded before they came on board.
However, www.odogwublog.com investigations at the three banks revealed
that the former Governor Obi indeed invested the money as he claimed with the
three financial intuitions mentioned above and that the investment had as at 31st
of January 2014 has generated over N117 Million which was credited to the
Anambra state government’s current account number 0048118024 in form of coupon
payment as managed by the state Accountant General , Mrs H.I Nweri.
The evidences are with www.odogwublog.com as obtained under ‘oath’.

ReplyDeleteSee case ooo! In fact I'm short of words.....
ReplyDeleteSee the Mad man called Mbuze....He is looking for 90 million dollars to steal. Did anybody leave money for Peter Obi. Let Willy Obiano be prudent and add to the savings....to increase our sovereign wealth. Abi they want to steal the one already saved.
ReplyDeleteto me. hence mr, peter obi inherited debt and left credit, that should be an honor to him rather than condemnation. the new governor should should see it as a challenge and strive to surpass obi's records and he can do it if he works towards that. God bless Anambra State
