Transfer of Boko Haram detainees to Anambra Prisons: Gov releases statement

Press statement from Anambra state government offfice
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.

Watching as events unfold, and to think this issue of transferring Boko haram suspects to Anambra was concluded during Peter Obi's administration.

I wish there could be democracy without politicians. These guys are evil to say the least. They do not care about the people, only their selfish interests and their pockets.

Anybody that brought up dis idea is as dumb as ever....BH shud stay and die in d north. We have no business with them...

BLUNT said...

What are you noting? What does the above gibberish say? It's neither here nor there? All we want from this seemingly confused governor is to confirm or debunk the rumour that some God-forsaken Rams where recently transferred to Ekwulobia Prison. This will never stand. Mr West Germany must take back his protégé rams. They can learn the German language better at Daura Cattle and Ram Ranch.

Indeed they should go about their normal businesses while he continues to engage the relevant authorities on the matter. I wish them well.

Igbos will be claiming other tribes states and forget to develop their own states. I think the importation of boko haram to the east is a welcome idea. Let them Kuku ma destroy the east kpata kpata. Before you know it you will hear prison break. I laughhhhhhhh

BUHARI AND NORTHERN ELDERS ARE GOING TO USE THOSE BOKO HARAM PRISONERS AS PAID AMBASSADORS OF JIHADIST OF NORTHERN NIGERIA AND MIDDLE EAST TO SPREAD ISLAM IN SOUTH EAST, AND TO PREPARE TO KEEP DOMINATING NIGERIA AFTER 2019, AND IF THE NORTH ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN IN 2019, TO USE THE NEW ISLAMIC CONVERTS THAT WILL BE PAID BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TO SPREAD VIOLENCE. ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNOR HAS BEEN SILENCED WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. HE'S IN ON THE EVIL PLAN. THAT MAN IS A TRAITOR AND ENEMY OF IGBOLAND. THE SOONER HE'S REMOVED, THE BETTER. BOKO HARAM PRISONERS ARE IN SOUTH EAST FOR A PURPOSE. ITS TO CAUSE FUTURE CHAOS. DAMN ALL OF YOU THAT VOTED IN BUHARI. HE TOLD Y'ALL THAT HE WILL SPREAD ISLAM IN NIGERIA. YOU PEOPLE WERE WARNED THAT BUHARI WILL ISLAMISE NIGERIA, BUT YOU PEOPLE DIDN'T LISTEN. WHEN NIGERIA BECOMES CHAOTIC LIKE THE MIDDLE EAST, YOU PEOPLE HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME, AND SUFFER BUHARI'S PUNISHMENT AGAINST THE SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH WEST. THE NORTH WANTS TOTAL CONTROL OF NIGERIA. THE SUCCESSFUL DID IT THROUGH BOKO HARAM IN THE NORTH. NOW THEY ARE SPREADING IT TO THE SOUTH. THE MORE THEY CAN UNLEASH TERROR IN THE SOUTH, THE MORE THE NORTH CAN RETAIN POWER AND OIL WEALTH. I WONDER WHAT GOODLUCK JONATHAN IS DOING RIGHT NOW. JUST LIKE HIM, I'M LAUGHING AT ALL OF YOU, TOO. YOU PEOPLE ARE FOOLS. YOU PEOPLE VOTED FOR BUHARI. I HOPE HE MAKES YOU PEOPLE REGRET VOTING FOR HIM. YOU REGRET OR NOT, HE'S THE PRESIDENT. YOU CANNOT UNVOTE HIM. 2019, FULANIS WILL STILL RETAIN POWER. YOU PEOPLE ARE STUCK WITH BUHARI. EVEN BOLA TINUBU HAVE REALISED THAT HE MADE A VERY TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE MISTAKE BY SUPPORTING BUHARI. AMAECHI HAS GONE SILENT. I BET HE TOO KNOWS THAT BUHARI IS SATAN'S AMBASSADOR IN NIGERIA. YOU GUYS JUST WOKEN UP, BUT ITS TOO LATE. HE HAS YOUR MANDATE AND THE ARMY. Y'ALL CAN'T DO JACK. SUCK IT UP, Y'ALL. ENJOY.

Juleslouis said...

Good abeg. Such toxic shouldn't be transferred to d east biko.

ary said...

If you enter a car and head North you are bound to find vast, unoccupied lands, no houses, no farms, just open fields and PMB wants to transport BH prisoners to the South-east?! The Bauchi state governor seems to have a large coffer they should build new prisons as they have the lands and store said prisoners there. They should keep the evil they bred to themselves abeg, we no need. We have our own issues to worry about.

That's one of the deceits of this drunkard called Obiano. He thought he could incite Ndi Anambra with the lame accusation that Peter Obi concluded the evil plan with GEJ. But when Drunkard Obiano saw the barrage of criticisms from Anambrarians on his comments, he decided to retrace his steps. The good deeds of Peter Obi will continue to save him from the evils of Drunkard Obiano, the frivolous and idiotic spender!

Some scary shit here, with some truth too...

Papa crawler, please you have said it more than once that BH's are your brothers, please take them from anambra, let them be with your wife and children in the house

You are daft. How disgusting and biased can you be with such huge national matters that borders on justice, equity and honesty. How can Peter Obi that left power over 16 months ago have agreed to such concessions that are against the wishes of his people. Even GEJ could not have contemplated such.

What is obvious is the triumphalism that the north is exuding since they grabbed the reins of power to marginalise and subdue the SE for voting and defending GEJ.
