Public Critic Lists 11 Allegations Against Ex-Anambra Gov, Questions Why He Didn’t Resign

     

Awka, Anambra State – 2026

A public critic has published a list of 11 allegations against a former Governor of Anambra State, questioning why he did not resign over issues ranging from tuition hikes to labour disputes during his tenure. The post, shared on social media, also stated: “You will not ascend the presidency.”

The critic linked the comments to recent public debate about the former governor’s record in office and his political ambitions. The allegations have not been independently verified by this publication, and the former governor has not issued a new response as of press time.


Allegations on education and fees

The post cited several incidents during the former governor’s administration:  

1. ANSU tuition hike, 2011: Fees reportedly increased from ₦36,000 to ₦86,000 for non-medical courses and ₦120,000 for medical courses, sparking student protests.  

2. “Education is not for the poor” remark, 2012: The critic said the statement, made before another ANSU fee hike, became a lasting quote used against the administration.  

3. Further hike to ₦230,000: Fees rose again, triggering a violent riot at ANSU’s Uli campus that reportedly led to staff offices being burnt.  

4. Lump-sum secondary school fees: The administration was accused of forcing payment of three terms’ fees at once, which the critic said pushed poorer pupils to drop out.


Allegations on demolitions and security operations

5. Upper Class Hotel demolition, 2013: The critic alleged the governor personally oversaw demolition of a hotel in Onitsha, with the owner claiming it was retaliation over a motor-park dispute.  

6. Alleged staged SARS raid: The hotel owner further alleged that skulls “found” in a guest’s room by SARS were planted to justify the demolition. The post also referenced human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings, with bodies reportedly found in the Ezu River linked to SARS operations in Awkuzu.  

7. Central Mosque demolition, 2012: A mosque in Onitsha was reportedly torn down during a road “beautification” drive, sparking protests from the Muslim community.


Allegations on labour and health sector

8. 'No work, no pay” policy: The former governor was said to have enforced the rule against striking workers during a minimum wage standoff.  

9. Unresolved salary arrears: The critic said the administration cleared some inherited arrears but left about 11 months unpaid by the end of its tenure.  

10. Labour relations friction: A former NLC chairman was quoted as saying repeated letters over teacher pay went unanswered, leading to a strike.  

11. Doctors’ strike: The post claimed a doctors’ strike led to a 13-month paralysis of Anambra’s health sector.


Conclusion of the post  

The critic ended with: “Why did you not resign? You are nothing but a bloated liar with a revisionist mindset. You will not ascend the presidency.”


Context and response

The former governor served as Anambra State governor between 2006 and 2014. During and after his tenure, his administration defended several of these policies, including the ANSU fee adjustments, as necessary reforms to improve funding and standards. The demolitions were publicly described as part of urban renewal and road expansion projects. Issues around SARS operations in Awkuzu were later subject of national investigations and reforms.

Attempts to reach the former governor’s spokesperson for comment on the latest allegations were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.


Note: The items listed above are allegations made by a private individual on social media. They reflect the author’s opinion and have not been proven in court. The former governor and his administration have previously denied wrongdoing on several of these matters.
