Plans To Oust Nigerian State Governor Peter Obi Was Sealed During World Igbo Congress In Boston, USA

New York, October 17, 2006—Plans to oust the current Governor of Anambra State, Nigeria, Mr. Peter Obi may have been discussed and sealed by certain Anambra indigenes during the just concluded World Igbo Congress (WIC) convention in Boston, United States of America from August 29, 2006 to September 4, 2006.

The prime force behind the plans include a fugitive former governor who was ousted from office and quickly escaped from Nigeria and currently on exile in United States. Others involved in the clandestine meetings include the associates of the fugitive governor residing in United States and Nigeria some of who are members of Anambra State House of Assembly who attended the WIC convention.

At the end of the convention, the former governor invited the inner caucus to another clandestine meetings in Maryland, sponsored the transportation (flight tickets for his associates) from Boston to Maryland, hotel accommodation in Maryland, local transportation, feeding, and huge financial allowances, to enable them fine tune and finalize the strategies, according to our information.

The matter was made worse because even though Governor Peter Obi attended the convention and gave a brilliant and convincing speech and assurances about his development plans for his state, he left immediately and did not leave anyone behind to network on his behalf.

Even though Africans In America, Inc. is concerned about Governor Obi’s use of the military to ruthlessly crush poor and defenseless youths who may be victims of local trafficking in humans, an operation in which many lives were lost; even though we are concerned at the non-performance of the Obi administration, however, we do not support the clandestine plot to utilize the World Igbo Congress Convention as a ploy to assemble in United States of America and plot the overthrow of a legitimate government in Nigeria.

More so, we are concerned that a fugitive, ex-cons, patrons of Okija satanic shrine who cleverly cornered the resources of Anambra State, impeded democratic development of the state and held the state in emperorial hostage for over 3 years may have sponsored the plot. The main complaint of the House members at the WIC against Gov. Obi include; “too stingy”, “aradite hand”, “does not roger”, and “nothing drops” from his hands.

Governor Peter Obi gave a resounding and convincing speech at the special Anambra Forum and we at Africans In America, Inc. urge him to expeditiously deliver before December 2006 as he promised.

Anambra State has suffered tremendous known and untold tragedies therefore peace must be allowed to reign.

Africans In America, Inc. is closely watching developments in Anambra State of Nigeria.
