Obiano says his second term will frown at corruption.

The Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, said his administration will not condone any form of corrupt practices, stating his second tenure would be “tough.”

Obiano said this in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Strategic Communications, Mr. Oliver Okpala, on Tuesday in Awka, the State capital.

The governor said, “Any commissioner, special adviser or civil servant involved in any act of fraud or corruption in Anambra State will automatically be dismissed.

“Also, any government official found to be involved in any shady deal aimed at corrupt enrichment or diversion of public funds will be shown the way out of the Anambra State Government.”

“There must be a sense of commitment and seriousness in all public servants in the state who want to be part of the new revolution that will be introduced in the state to serve the people of the state better.

“There will be checks and balances in every aspect of government business now and all loopholes must be completely plugged to checkmate the activities of those who have, in the past, been sabotaging the efforts of the government to give qualitative service to the people of Anambra State.”

According to the statement, the governor had given the warning to commissioners and other top government officials at a meeting in Awka.

Obiano, therefore, advised anyone who would not follow the order “to take a bow or be forced out of service.”
