Minister of Labour and Employment Chris Ngige says the incumbent Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, has taken the state 20 years backward.

This was contained in a statement from his media office, where he accused Obiano of wasting the opportunity given to him after inheriting a ‘virile and robust state resources’.

Ngige said the stagnation, depreciation and retrogression have put the people of the state in a desire to turn back the hand of the clock.

He challenged Governor Obiano to state his achievements, beyond bequeathing a mounting regime of debts to generations unborn.

Ngige described his 34 months renaissance as governor of Anambra as unrivalled, and dismissed a parody performance rating of him by Obiano as hogwash.

“The eventful era of Ngige has remained a parameter for judging successive administrations in Anambra, going by his unprecedented achievements and quantum of projects executed by his administration in just three years.

“It is important to remind James Eze, who authored the diatribe, that Ngige took over power at a critical stage in the history of Anambra, with years of salary and pension arrears, dilapidated infrastructure and mounting debts owed banks and international lenders, yet, Ngige did not sell off state assets to take off.
