  Africcon Report: Obi faults Ngige on N2tn Anambra revenue
  Africcon New Media – News
  
  Anambra State Government has faulted Senator Chris Ngige’s claim that Governor Peter Obi could not justify the N2tn that accrued to the state in the last seven years.
  
  In a  statement on Wednesday, the Chief Press Secretary to Obi, Mr. Mike Udah, said more than any previous government, the  Obi administration  had performed well, bringing development to the doorstep of the people of the state.
  
  Ngige reportedly claimed that Obi had received about N2tn with which he had not done anything tangible.
  
  But Udah said, “One is surprised that Ngige should raise this type of question, and to add salt to injury, attempt to compare Governor Obi’s legitimate administration to the stolen mandate which he enjoyed until it was taken away from him by the Law.
  
  “In civilised societies, Ngige should have been jailed for electoral theft and forced to return to government coffers all the salaries and allowances he received while his illegal sojourn in Awka Government House lasted.
  
  “But let us leave this for another day.  The truth of the matter is that Governor Obi has surpassed whatsoever his predecessors ‘including Ngige’ did in office.  I mean all they had done put together!
  
  “A tip of the iceberg: he constructed over 380 kilometres of roads across the state with every community and local government  getting its fair share.
  
  “This equitable distribution of roads and other infrastructure was not done by Ngige when he illegally held sway.
  
  “In addition, Governor Obi, through his spectacular partnership with the church, has revolutionalised the state’s health care and education,  a scenario which the World Bank and even the Federal Government  have seen as a model and recommended to all the states  to emulate.
  
  “The manner in which old structures were, and are being, refurbished and new ones begun and completed in schools and health institutions in the  state is legendary.  From Queen of the Rosary Hospital, Borromeo Hospital and School of Nursing and Midwifery, Onitsha, Iyi-Enu Hospital, Ogidi to Our Lady of Lourdes, Ihiala and School of Nursing, Adazi to mention just a few, the story is the same.  It is one of unrivalled transformation!”
