Obiano's administration is a failure - Ngige

Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment, has stated that the Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has failed in being responsible to the people through his office.

The minister, while referencing the state of Primary Healthcare Centres and roads, said Obiano has run down the state with his abysmal performance.

Ngige, who made the statement in his Alor country home, Idemili South Local Government Area, added that the last positive actions on the hospitals and health centres in the state were taken by him while he was governor and that Obiano has abandoned the clinics to rot.

“It is heartbreaking that this health centre is in this horrible state

“They cannot tar roads. The few they tarred had been washed away by floods. What Anambra people are riding on today are my roads built about 17 years ago.

“We built this structure (pointing to a hospital building) when I was the chairman of our people in Lagos in 1985/6. This one (pointing to another structure) I built it when I was in the Senate.

“The other one, I built it when I was governor. So, many developmental projects I want to bring to this place, they stopped it just because we have little misunderstanding in our community.

“Even the one we brought, they couldn’t take care of it. Look at that building; it has been abandoned to rot.

“Obiano should wake up to his responsibilities. When I was here (as governor), I know what I was doing. Today, they are not doing them,” he lamented

Reacting, the governor dismissed Ngige, saying his administration has performed wonderfully well. He said Ngige was making a political statement because the state would soon be going to the poll to elect his successor.
