DEPUTY chairman of the Board of Trustees of the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) and prominent Anambra indigene, Chief Edwin Ume-ezoke has warned that the people of the state have had enough of the violent destruction of public property and may go on the offensive against Ngige’s opponents.
My dear brother, we are all tired of what is happening in Anambra State. The whole thing seems to have defied solution.
And the violence is coming in quick succession almost on weekly basis. I have never seen a thing like this. I read in the newspapers today (Thursday) about the bomb blast that occurred at the official lodge of the governor, how some part of the building was blown off by the explosive. On Monday or so, I read again in the newspapers about two unsuccessful attempts on the life of Governor Chris Ngige. These things are getting too much, I must tell you.
Enough is enough. We can’t continue like this. Things have got to the stage right now where the people of Anambra State would have to express their total dissatisfaction with the whole development. The people of Anambra have lost so much resources, which will take them a long time to restore. The monthly allocations due to the state including the one realised from the taxes paid by the people will be used to restore all the things that were destroyed by these people. I must say here that our people have come to the end of their patience. The whole thing is no longer a PDP affair. The people of Anambra have watched with helplessness how everything they built over the years since the creation of the state was destroyed in one fell swoop and nobody should expect them to take it any longer.
A way out of this matter has to be found and very quickly too because it is very disgraceful. It is a shame to those who are doing these things. Some of us have kept quiet in the past because we believed that it is the PDP that created this problem for themselves. We felt that our intervention at the initial stage will be misconstrued since some of us are not PDP members. But as it stands now, the whole thing has gone beyond the PDP as a party.
It now concerns every Anambra man and woman. It concerns every Igbo man. And it concerns every Nigerian who is dissatisfied with what is happening. We, the elders and the royal fathers met separately two weeks ago when this large scale burning of government and private structures happened. We made our stand known. Again, we are going to meet in Enugu this weekend and we hope that after that meeting, a lasting solution should be found on the matter.
