The attention of the governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie
Obiano has been drawn to the cover story of Vanguard and
Daily Independent on Friday, July 3, 2015, crediting him with
some comments on the transfer of Boko Haram detainees to
Ekwulobia Prisons in Anambra State.
We wish to inform the general public that Governor Obiano
never made any comments to these publications.
Since the eruption of this controversy, Governor Obiano’s
position has been consistent. This is fully reflected in the
two Press Statements issued on Sunday, June 28, 2015 and
Wednesday July 1, 2015.
In both statements, his message was simple – he re-
assured Ndi Anambra that he was on top of the situation
and that he was speaking with the relevant authorities to
achieve a peaceful resolution of the issue. Governor
Obiano’s commitment to this extremely sensitive issue
remains the same.
The Limit to Bitter Politics For the avoidance of doubt,
Governor Willie Obiano is aware of the strong feelings
provoked by Boko Haram among Ndi Anambra and the
people of the South East. Therefore, he shall never use this
subject of pain and anguish to play politics.
Those who are not held back by any moral considerations in
their pursuit of power, cheap popularity and vendetta are free
to play with the agony of the people for their narrow
interests. But for Obiano, certain things are bigger than
politics.
He therefore appeals to Ndi Anambra to go about their
normal businesses while he continues to engage the relevant
authorities on the matter.
