HURIDE Flays Obiano Over Failed Rehabilitation of Bad Roads in Anambra

Gov Obiano

Governor Willie Obiano's alleged failure to fulfill his promises to rehabilitate all the failed roads in the State on or before December 2019, has elicited strident criticism from Human Right, Liberty Access and Peace Defenders' Foundation (HURIDE).

The group in a statement made available to newsmen in Awka, the state capital,  expressed surprise that inspite of the firm promises by Governor to rehabilitate the roads, not up to 20 percent of the  failed roads in Onitsha and environms were retouched.

Said the group"if the roads in critical areas like  Onitsha and environs were not worked on, you should better imagine what happened to  failed roads in other  parts of the State".

Gov Obiano

The Stakeholders of Ogbaru Main Market, in a suburb of Onitsha, Anambra State, have called on Governor Willie Obiano to prevail  on the chairman of Ogbaru Local Government Area, Hon. Arinze Awogu, for his incessant attempts to ferment trouble in the market.

The spokesperson for the stakeholders of the  market, Mr. Izuchukwu Okeke,  said this has become imperative to stem the tide of  likely   break down of law and order in the market.
Awogu was alleged to have  led a horde of hoodlums comprising former members of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB),to the market last Monday  to commence the collection of wheel barrow tolls, which the traders vehemently refused.

He said the chairman and his thugs were accompanied by one Onyeka Chiakpari, who adds Obiano to his surname to instil fear on people because he hails from Aguleri, but not related with the Governor.
