The Anambra State Chapter of the All progressive Congress Elders Forum has lambasted the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano over what they described as Executive high handedness.
In a swift reaction through a press statement made available to newsmen in Awka, Anambra State, Hon. Humphrey Nsofor, the Director of communication, APC Elders Forum, Anambra Chapter described the suspension of twelve traditional Rulers who visited the presidency by Obiano as baseless, and display of executive rascality by a power drunk drowning man who has lost relevance and touch with reality.
Hon. Nsofor queried the rationale behind the suspension, noting that the traditional Rulers did not commit any offence known to the law of the State.
He stated that the traditional Rulers had a constitutional right and freedom of movement as well as freedom of expression.
The APC Elders Forum lauded the traditional Rulers who visited the president to thank him for his numerous projects and support to South East and Anambra State in particular, noting that the president signature project in Anambra State is worthy of commendation.
APC Elders Forum Anambra State Chapter further called on Chief Willie Obiano to account for the local government funds and the over 200 billion naira debt which he has plunged the state without any commensurate infrastructure to justify the huge debt.
Hon. Nsofor further berated the governor for abandoning his primary responsibility which entails Security of the lives of Anambrarians, instead he has continued to create imaginary enemies for himself at the expense of the State. As chief security officer, His Excellency should be mindful of not subjecting his subjects from braking loose into irredeemable situation that will further cause regrets.
Hon. Humphrey Nsofor further lauded Prince Engr. Arthur Eze (OFR) Ozoigbondu for his support to the persecuted traditional Rulers. He described the gift of a Lexus Jeep to the traditional Rulers as a welcome development as many of the traditional Rulers have been suffering in silence as their constitutional entitlement were hijacked and diverted by Gov. Obiano.
