Ngige attacks Obi on performance

 … Says 70 per cent work still undone

The All Progressives Congress, (APC) Governorship candidate in the November 16 governorship elections in Anambra State, Senator Chris Ngige has carpeted Governor Peter Obi on development since inception of his administration.

Senator Ngige while addressing journalists at the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha during induction of new officers to Army Officers’ Mess said Obi has achieved only seven percent out of the 100 percent blue print he left in office.

Ngige said he was forced into the race by the poor development in the state, adding that he did 23 percent out of his blue print while Obi did only seven percent, making it a total of 30 percent and maintained that he will complete the remaining 70 percent if elected.

“Each time I am confronted with this question by journalists of what I forgot in the government house, I always said that I forgot something, I forgot my blue print which I wanted to use to develop Anambra State. I forgot that blue print which has been abandoned on Governor Peter Obi’s table. I was able to do 23 percent from the blue print while Peter Obi did seven percent in eight years; that is why I am going back to implement the remaining 70 percent and develop the state. If other state governors are not interested in developing their states, I am in a hurry to develop Anambra State and bring it to the front burner of the world”.

The Senator further challenged the incumbent governor to come up with his performance since he assumed office and berated him for fragrant abuse of the state funds by sharing the common wealth of the state to individuals for selfish political reasons.

However, Governor Peter Obi swiftly said that Ngige has no moral justification to judge his performance since he could not bring development to the state during his short period in office, adding that his administration has been able to bring the much desired development to the state.

Governor Obi also accused Ngige of trying to draw the state backwards through his penchant for violence when government property and lives were lost, noting that what Anambra State needs is to continue moving forward to consolidate on developments already achieved in the state.
