such as
AND I QUOTE
"WILLIE OBIANO V ANAMBRA CONTRACTORS
It is no longer
news that Anambra State contractors are crying. They are owned over 80 Billion
Naira.
Worried like
other Anambra people that all ongoing projects have been abandoned, we got the
necessary information and called the contractors one after the other as
stakeholders. Their responses are revealing as they are shocking.
1. Kanubeen: “as
far as our company is concerned, Akopkue global id doing very well. Yes, he is
owing, but there is no government in Nigeria that is not owing”. We understand
the company fronts for him and is one among 3 companies that are paid
regularly. They are doing most work in Agulueri axis.
2. Doliz Group:
“Who are you and why must we divulge our contractual terms to you. Anambra is
not the worst in Nigeria”. The company is working in Agulueri axis.
3. New Idea: “ My
brother, do not quote me, Anambra has entered one chance bus. Willie is a
disaster”
4. Mac Mouritz:
“We will all blame Obi for foisting on us a man that knows only about alcohol.
He calls himself an accountant, but we doubt his competency. I pulled out from
the road to Choched farm, because not even one Naira was paid to me. Can you
help us secure contracts in any other State?”
5. Coscharis:
Yes, we experience challenges. Today, we are compelled to walk from one office
to another endlessly in pursuit of money for vehicles we supplied. The money is
not even coming. We reasonable suspect that Anambra State is now in red”
6. Benejaf: My
Sister, even the palliative work we did in December has not been paid. Since
the former Governor left, we moved from heaven to hell. All he does is to
cajole us to use our money to support him. I know how much I put doing
election, but to pay us for work done is wahala. Anambra is in trouble”
7. Pachcus:
Please I do not want to enter Akpokue’s bad book, that will be moving from fire
to hell. All I can tell you is that he does not pay. I have even relocated to
Abuja. Nothing is happening in Anambra State
8. Brecco: His
phone rang unusually: I am in Lebanon. I have to leave because, no payment, no
money, everything upside down”
9. CCC; “ For any
information, please call our information officer.”
10. Master
Holdings: “Please do not provoke me by remembering Anambra State under Akpokue
for me. When Obi was Governor, some of us felt we were not treated properly,
but today, it is clear we have the best of times with him. Today, they demand
15% from you on all payments. That one is not even a problem, but the money is
not even paid. Upon that they will heap insults on you. Akpokue is a disgrace.
I will never visit Awka again, except they call me”
11. Grand star:
‘Hahaha. I have forgotten the State, even thoug it is my State. I am enjoying
good working relationaship in other States, especially Abia. As far as I am
concerned, Akpokue is only working in Agulueri”
12. CCEDC: “We
are around hoping and praying he pays us and them we know what else to do.”
13. Daniels: “I
can tell you that I am one contarctor that tries to satisfy Akpokue, but the
fact is that Anambra does not have money. When the man takes 1Billion every
month, how can he have money to pay contactors. Mbadinuju is better than him.
Imagine, without payment, his people have already started telling me that I
will place 3 adverts for him on the 8th of August he will turn 60.”
14. Tamad: “From
the way my phone rang, you would know that I am not in Nigeria. I am in
Lebanon. Me, no understand the Governor. Promise, promise, promise. Those I am
owing want to kill me. I am running away.”
15. Arab
Contractor: “Please call our PRO”
16. STEFANUTTI
STOCKS: “We started well in Anambra under Obi. We are contemplating pulling
Out. Anambra has changed”
17. SAGEZ: “I do
not discuss my contarct on phone. Come to my office.”
18. Halcon: “We
had it rough under Obi. Some of our contarcts were cancelled. Today we are
having it roughest. Anambra money invested on expensive champagnes.
19. CARSUL Ltd:
“Please do not disturb us’”
20. Nigercat: “We
are no longer working in Anambra State. Can you assist us for Willie to pay
us?”
21. Gizzini: “You
can not 419 me. That was how somebody who called himself SA Obidigwe phoned us
and told us to pay him 20 Million to help us recover our debt. Please you
people should leave us alone.”
22. Marlum
brothers: “When the new Governor spend Million to buy houses all over the world
using the name of chisco, how can he pay. We are eating the money we made unde
Obi. May God bless that man wherever he is.”
23. Inter Bau: I
worked very well under Ngige. I even worked better under Obi. I can tell you
that contarctors are all confused under Obiano. The only thing he thinks about
is what will go into his pocket. I am sorry for my State.”
24. Ave Maria:
“Anambra sliding, Obiano dancing”
25. Marlum Nig
Ltd : “Obiano a afailure, a disgrace who will surely bury Anambra. Would you
imagine that the last money we are paid in Anambra as contractor were unde Obi
26. Cotabs: “He
refused to give us new job because he said we worked for Uche Ukwunife. I am
happier he did not give us, because he has already made contarctors in the
State to go bankcrupt. Some have mounting loans they cannot pay the banks
because he is not paying them.”
27. Cosmos. “I
love Anambra State. We are doing the Federal Sectariat and you could see the
wonderful work. Peter gave us job in my homwtown of Aba and paid us nomal
mobilization. Since he left this drunakard has not paid us 1 dime. He even went
to our town and said he had completed paying us. Tell him that you cannot
govern through 419”
28. AG Vision.
“No comment”
29. Hanmakopp
Consortium: “Sorry to say that, Akpokue is a fool. His concern now is telling
contarctors to place 2,3 4 pages advert on his birthday when you are owing them
Billions. It shall never be well with that man.”
30. Akiota works:
You people say Peter was not good. I am glad you are testing Akopkue and now
has a standard to judge peer very well. If peter was Angel, Akpokue is devil. I
have never seen a man bereft of ideas as he is.
31. Paul B: I am
in Abuja. I no longer cares what happens in Anambra until Akpokue leaves. He is
a failure”
32. Cossel: “I am
from Agulu. If I say anything, they will say I am Peter’s brother. Please ask
others.”
33. IDC: He pays
me little because he wants flyovers completed, but we are being owned over 6
Billion. We are afraid.”
34. Strict
Technical: “Anambra is gone”
35. Betchel:
“Please tell those that sent you that I am not available”
ANAMBRA IN REAL
TROUBLE" END of QUOTE
The Contractors
are saying that the Government are arm twisting them to take out a Publication
and deny the above REPORTS.
They said the
Government is threatening them not to pay them the certificate generated.
Certificate generation is a process where you
work for Government on a contract and after they paid you the initial 30% with
the letter of Guarantee from your Bank ,then you do works that will cover the
initial payment ,the Government Engineers will inspect the job and if it is
standard and up to the amount or more than ,they will generate a Certificate
for the Job and with that the relevant department will pay for the job done so
far ,on and on until the job is finished .
I will say to the
Contractors ,if truly you granted the
above interview and you are sure of what you said ,kindly stop silly excuses
,either you are paid or you are not paid.
if you are not
paid for a job you did and generate
certificate ,you can sue the Government and they will pay for the entire
contract for breaching of the contract ,if you are not owed ,simply come out
and say so and by saying so the electorate expect you to be back on site and
working.
if you say today
that you are compelled to deny the aforesaid report ,then tomorrow you turn
around and say that the government are owing you ,then we can retrieve your
report and shove it down your nose for real.
We can help this
government to work better by telling them the gospel truth ,we should not join
sycophants and praise singers to sing the praises and things keep getting worse
.
The contractors
should not wave in front of our faces threat of any kind ,they are private
Billion Naira company and not government surrogate ,so they should be firm on
what is situation at hand and not hiding under they said or we said ,if the
state are owing them ,they should speak up ,if they are not owed they should
speak up by going back to site and continue work ,so that seening will become
believing.
Mazi Odera
Truth is our
standard , accept it in good faith or we shove it down your throat. The choice
is yours.
