PDP faults Obiano’s 50-year development plan – TheNigerialawyer

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has faulted the 50 years
development plan being conceived by Governor Willie Obiano of
Anambra State.

PDP, in a statement signed by its state publicity secretary,
Nnamdi Nwangwu, expressed worry over the intention of the
government in inaugurating a 51-member committee for the project
given the governor’s antecedents over the years.

Recall that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)
government in Anambra State had few days ago inaugurated a
committee headed by a former governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), Professor Chukwuma Soludo, to put to paper a 50-year
development plan for the state.

According to Nwangwu, PDP saw nothing wrong in planning, both
short and long term, but he was very worried about the intention of
the planner given, what he called, the antecedents of the
governor.

“The fact that the very bogus committee of 51 persons is headed
by Prof Chukwuma Soludo, who is widely believed to be Obiano’s
anointed and preferred aspirant to emerge as the candidate of his
APGA in the 2021 gubernatorial race in the state, completely gave
the intention away.

“A deeper look at the antecedents of Obiano gives the whole plot
away as another form of jamboree and showmanship aimed at
hoodwinking the people further. How can a party under a man like
Governor Obiano be trusted to be able to provide a long term plan?”
he said.

He said, if the APGA government valued planning, how comes it
dismantled all the plans it inherited from preceding APGA
governments for eight years?, “he queried.
