The Anambra state chapter of the Labour Party has claimed Governor Willie Obiano used state funds to celebrate his birthday while governors all over the country are crying out for money.
The chapter’s chairman, Comrade Luke Ezeanokwasa told reporters yesterday, August 11, in Awka that the spending shows how insensitive Obiano is to the people’s needs, Vanguard reports.

He said: “It is unnecessary waste of public fund for the Governor to be organizing his birthday to massage his ego at a period when the revenue profiles of various governments in the country have gone down drastically and when many projects have been stalled in the state for lack of fund,” the party boss said.
He alleged that Obiano had also interfered with the state’s local government funds and questioned the where about of about N80 billion being allocation for local governments in the past 16 months.
Ezeanokwasa also alleged that Obiano does not know how to govern the state; he explained this by saying that the decision to bring local government administration in the state to a halt by starving them of their statutory fund has crippled the development in the state’s councils.
Obiano turned 57-years-old on Friday in a widely colourful and spectacular birthday celebration.
