# 10 This is really sad. The PDP led state house of assembly are getting it all wrong! What offense has Peter Obi committed? other than wanting to clear the deep debris of decay and corruption in Anambra. The house of assembly have listed this as Obi's sins: The fact that he is not in PDP, That he does not carry them along in the state's admininstration (read, e no gree settle them with egunje), They also CLAIM he wrote a petition against them and Ngige to EFCC (which he has publicly denied). Besides Ngige pointed at Andy Uba as being the source of the EFCC petition. OBJ wants his chief house boy, Andy Uba to be gov in 2007, a fact he announced publicly a few days ago on his vist to the state. It is ironic, but Ngige had said that Obi would not last a year in Anambra cos he would be too much of a gentleman to fight OBJ and the Ubas. Funny, but I kindda miss Ngige now. He understood that with ppl of no intergrity, you had to play the game dirty too, just have a good scented bath after its all done! Posted by BiafranPrincess| 16.10.2006 15:56
