The Senator representing Anambra South at the National
Assembly, Dr. Andy Uba, has described Governor Willie Obiano, as a failure.
Uba dropped the bombshell on Tuesday, while receiving
members of South East Professional Women Association of Nigeria and Diaspora
(SEPWAND) in his office in Abuja.
The Senator decried the poor state of affairs in Anambra,
adding that the Governor had not done anything to suggest that he has an agenda
for the people.
Uba boasted that he was the right person for the seat and
would definitely take up the challenge of liberating the good people of Anambra
from the present state Obiano has kept them, if given the opportunity.
On the allegation of certificate forgery preferred against
him, Senator Uba debunked the rumour, saying there was no iota of truth in it.
Earlier in her address, the President of SEPWAND, Nwanganga
Ibe, said the group was at the National Assembly, to create awareness for the
need for the Senate to look into the laws bothering on the adoption of
children.
Ibe lamented the proliferation of illegal adoption centres,
especially, the recent discovery of a “Baby Factory” in the region and how some
girls were being used for sex slavery and other illicit purposes, which she
said had brought the image of the Eastern part of the country to disrepute.
She, therefore, called on the Senate to join in the campaign
against violence against women and girl-child, currently being championed by
SEPWAND.
As a recognition of the “impact he has made towards the
wellbeing of people from the South East, especially women and children”, the
group honoured Senator Uba with the award of “DIKE IGBO”, which means ‘the
strength if Igbo People’.
