Anambra South senator, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah has said that no governor of Anambra State has fully leveraged the State’s enormous human and material resources to grow and position Anambra State. Speaking in an exclusive conversation with The West African Pilot News, Senator Ubah regretted that Anambra is yet to have a focused leadership that is fully capable of using its resources to expand the frontiers of opportunities, public service, and growth for Anambra and the people of Anambra State.
According to Senator Ubah, “Since 1999, Anambra has not had a leader that knows what to do with what Anambra State has. The blessing God has given to Anambra State is something no governor of the state knows how to tap into and use well to serve our state and our people. No governor of Anambra State has fully mobilized the state resources, thereby leaving the state at a very poor level of growth,” Sen. Ubah regretted.
Ifeanyi Ubah who insisted that his comments are devoid of any kind of politicization whatsoever, emphasized that the benefits of having a governor who understands what to do with what the State has, both to the State and the people, can hardly be overstated. This is because, a leader, Ubah argued, has to first of all understand the strengths and gifts of the State, and know what to do with them, before he can fully deploy them to maximally profit the state and the people. “My brother, let’s have this conversation. I want our people to ask questions and seek clarification. Let’s have an issue-based conversation around the potentials of Anambra State and how far these potentials have been used by the State government to develop the state since 1999 to date,” Ubah declared.
He is a Technical Assistant to Governor Willie Obiano’s Special Adviser on Legislative Matters, whoonce was a Special Adviser to a former Deputy Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly.
