Ochanja -Onitsha Inferno: Obiano Should Resign as Governor of Anambra State for Gross Negligence, Ineptitude –INC

An Igbo socio-cultural Organization, Igbo National Council (INC) has joined all well meaning Nigerians to commiserate with the families of the deceased and victims of the Ochanja – Onitsha fire outbreak of Wednesday, 16th October 2019 which destroyed scores of lives and properties.

The Council in a swift release issued to News men by the President of Igbo National Council, Chilos Godsent and Publicity Secretary of the council, Victor Emenike decried the level of damage done by the fire disaster, regretting the insensitivity of Anambra State government to fix bad roads in the state especially the accident scene which has always caused peoples lives and properties.

The inferno according to reports resulted to the lost of over five lives including a woman and her child, destruction of over forty residential houses and over five thousand (5000) shops worth billions of Naira in less than four hours.

Investigations also revealed that the inferno was as a result of bad spots at Upper-Iweka along Onitsha – Owerri road which caused a Petrol Tanker carrying fuel (PMS) to fall resulting to outburst of fire that destroyed the entire livelihood of over two hundred thousand Nigerians.

“We note that the said bad spots at upper – Iweka along Onitsha – Owerri road cannot cause Anambra State Government more than two million (N2,000,000.00) to repair.”

The Council added that uncommon measures ought be taken by all and sundry to avert such devastating disaster in the future as well as spur the government to live up to peoples expectations.

“The Igbo National Council (INC) therefore call on Governor Willie Obiano to immediately resign as Governor of Anambra State for his arbitrary negligence and gross ineptitude that has caused the Igbo race a monumental colossal and irreparable human, political and economic damage.”

“We therefore call on the Anambra State House of Assembly to commence an impeachment process against Gov. Willie Obiano if he fails to voluntarily resign before October 23rd, 2019”, the council charged.

“The INC call on the Commissioner of Police Anambra State Command to immediately arrest and prosecute the Anambra State Commissioner for Works – Engr. Marcel Ejiofor and Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment – Mr. Don Adinuba respectively for willful violation of their oath of office, lies, negligence and ineptitude in the discharge of their duties as Commissioners”, the Igbo National Council concluded.
