On
the heels of the impressive showing of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA) led by her husband the BoT Chairman and Governor of
Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano in the just concluded general
elections, and as she gets set to distribute the second phase of
prosthetic limbs to about 200 physically challenged beneficiaries on Tuesday April 2015, Chief (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano has come under another malicious attack aimed at damaging her credibility.
Purveyors
of falsehood on social media have once again concocted another lie that
she slapped someone even as she is in faraway United States of America
where she went to visit her children. Mrs. Obiano who is expected back
in the country early in the week in readiness for the all-important
function of prosthetic limb distribution to the physically challenged
which will hold at the Women Development Centre, Awka is once more
target of another campaign of calumny. The first phase of the prosthetic
limb distribution programme sponsored by the wife of the governor held
before the Christmas in 2014 had over 300 beneficiaries.
The
fact that some criminal elements will go to any length to manufacture
lies with the intent to cause the government of Obiano harm, including
denigrating the wife is a cause for concern to discerning Ndi Anambra
and should be condemned. Such frivolous writings are irresponsible and
have no place in the new Anambra being fashioned by the governor ably
supported by his wife, and Ndi Anambra.
Chief
(Mrs.) Obiano is the founder and focal Person of the Caring Family
Enhancement Initiative (CAFÉ), anon-profit, non-partisan pet project
which has mandate to care for the less privileged and reduce women-child
vulnerability while maintaining the dignity of the physically
challenged amongst other programmes. Since coming on stream, CAFÉ has
done a lot to mobilize and give support and succour to indigent families
as well as the physically challenged, through its welfare packages.
Also
through CAFÉ Chief (Mrs.) Obiano supports the welfare programmes of the
Obiano’s administration which promotes strong and healthy families
through assisting and supporting vulnerable groups amongst Ndi Anambra
to feel the impact of government and eventually contribute to the
socio-economic development of the state.
