From Geoffrey Anyanwu, Awka
THE demand by the 28 registered political parties in Anambra State for the State House of Assembly to investigate allegations of constitutional breach against Governor Willie Obiano alleged by the state chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Ken Emeakayi has taken another dimension as Emeakyi has further alleged that the governor was threatening his life.
Emeakayi, who made the allegation in an open letter dated March 7, 2017 and addressed to Obiano, which was made available to newsmen in Awka yesterday, said that though he had been castigated, maligned and abused by the governor’s aides since the Assembly received his letter, Obiano’s alleged direct threat to his life via telephone was the climax of them all.
He said: “The climax was when in a telephone conversation on Thursday, February 23, 2017, the governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Qbiano, directly by himself, threatened to kill me and also to make me to feel what His Excellency called the wrath of Aguleri.
“In a telephone conversation about 8pm on Thursday, February 23, 2017, the governor of Anambra State, his Excellency Chief Willie Obiano, personally, and by himself, threatened to kill me if I fail to stop questioning the unlawful activities of his administration.”
When contacted, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Media, Strategic Communication and Legislative Matters, Prince Oliver Okpala, said he had no comment.
