Ex-Governor Peter Obi
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
Former Governor of Anambra State; Mr. Peter Obi was on Thursday delayed for three hours at the Bridgehead Onitsha, Anambra State, by illegal revenue collectors.
Obi, who narrated his ordeal to journalists at his Onitsha residence, described the experience as horrible.
He said: “I was passing through the Bridgehead in the morning where I experienced over three hours of traffic.
“Out of curiosity, I came down from my vehicle, only to behold different groups extorting money from people.
“Apart from causing traffic delays, they constitute a menace to the travelling public, businesses and people’s sources of livelihood, not mentioning the countless hours lost to unproductivity at such spots. These extortionists pose a serious security threat to society.”
The former Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called on the State Government to deploy urgent measures to flush out all illegal groups hiding under the cloak of government to cause problems for people at a time when Nigerians are experiencing enormous hardship.
He also called on those engaged in the illegal acts to rethink and amend their ways rather than harassing those that are making honest effort to eke out a living.
