Obi weeps for Benue killing of Priests, worshipers , says PDP Govs doing well, supports the endorsement of Okowa
www.odogwublog.com reports that the
former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has condemned the
killing of two Catholic priests and some worshipers in Benue state by suspected herdsmen, saying that the killings seemed to be getting out of control.
He called on the Government to act
quickly and seriously to stop the killings, which he noted would be
scary to Forign investors and injurious to Nigerian's economic.
"Besides," Obi said, "It negates the fundamental freedom of worship,
association and movement and questions our unity as a country."
Speaking
to the media over the weekend at Benin Airport, Obi threw his support to
recent endorsement of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State by the
people of Anioma People, describing it as welcome development.
Obi said he was
particularly happy that the endorsement was on the strength of his
performance.
"I am
happy about his endorsement which was manifestly on the strength of his
performance. I live in Onitsha and visit Delta State regularly. I also
interact with so many of our people that live in Delta. Okowa is really a
silent performer and conducts himself with dignity befitting his
position."
Speaking further, Obi said that not just Okowa, that the PDP governors were doing well.
"Whenever
I visit any State, I take time to move around and see what is
happening, and most importantly interact with the people.
This
year alone, I have been to Rivers where the people are pleased with
Wike's outstanding performance which even the blind can see.
I have been to Akwa Ibom State, Bayelsa State, Ebonyi State,Enugu State, the story and interactions were the same."
Obi
said he was in Aba on Saturday and visited one Chinese Company that
built Steel rolling mill and were developing an industrial cluster. On
his interactions with the management, Obi said "when I asked the
managing director about their relationship with Government of Abia
state, he told me that the Governor has visited twice. This shows his
commitment to turning around Aba. I moved around Aba and saw evidence of
on going construction and commitment.
Commenting on debt situation in the country, Obi said that PDP states were doing better relative to their revenue.
