Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, who has been accused of mismanaging the state’s resources, says he did not get into government to pilfer public funds.
Obiano said he was already ‘accomplished by every measurement’ and that he ran for office with the sole intention of serving the people of the state.
Speaking on Sunday, during a media chat at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, the Anambra governor said: “Look, let me tell you, I’m a wealthy person before I came here as a governor. I didn’t come here to steal, because there is nothing here for me to steal.”
“I was enjoying my wealth in the United States of America with my family before I was approached to come and do this job as a governor.”
“I had already made good money before venturing into politics. I was relishing in the comfort of my house, with swimming pool, basketball court and other good things in the United States before providence brought me here.”
“I’m an accomplished person by every measurement. Providence brought me here as governor to serve the people. In terms of enjoyment, there is none here to enjoy as a governor, with all this protocol restricting my comfort.”
Obiano further blew his own trumpet by stating some of his achievements, while adding that in just two years in office, he was being rated in the same category as those who spent eight years in office as governor.
