Anambra Election: Obaze blasts Obiano over IPOB proscription

Obaze criticizes Obiano over IPOB proscription and poor governance.

Mr. Obaze Oseloka, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the upcoming Anambra State governorship election, has condemned the state governor, Willie Obiano, for doing nothing to protect the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) while the federal government proscribed the group.

Speaking at the Anambra State Governorship Debate organised by Channels TV, Obaze, further criticized Obiano’s administration, saying it lacked purpose and vision.

He said, “What happened is most regrettable. Before IPOB, we’ve had militancy in the Niger Delta, they were never declared terrorists. We had the Fulani herdsmen, they were never declared terrorists and none of them were proscribed.

“I don’t understand how this governor can sit here and young Igbo men who are unemployed and looking for a source of livelihood were branded terrorists and proscribed.

“Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

“This is a government that is visionless; government must be purposeful, government must be adapting. You use your resources for what it’s supposed to be not for what you think is. We need infrastructure that works. We don’t need this type of government in the next four years. I submit myself to serve.’’

“This government has spent almost N600billion in the last four years; there is nothing commensurate to show. Where are the roads he (Willie Obiano) constructed? This state is broken, we need to fix it,’’ he added.
