Tony Nwoye: Vestiges Of Anambra’s Surviving Political Renegades

Tony Nwoye has stayed long enough on the scene to be understood for who he is — a poorly educated young man with zero understanding of fiscal processes and procedures, only deft in brigandage and touting. His records are there and his political engagement so far has proven this to be true.

In a recent video circulating online, Tony was captured stating boldly that “his elder brother”, former Governor Obiano diverted public funds meant for the construction of a road in Aguleri to funding the election that produced Governor Soludo – this laughable! If only the “Distinguished” Senator understood the implications of his lousy comments on his “elder brother”, I am sure he would realize how shamefully he has crossed the rubicon.

As one who sluggered into politics through touting activities in the days when brigandage took centre state in Anambra politics — an era the late sage, Prof. Chinua Achebe, described most sadly as “Anambra taken over by renegades” — Tony remains one of the few surviving political misfits without a life away from politics. A so-called medical Doctor who has never treated any Patient any where before within and outside the country. If Nigeria were a place where due diligence was a thing, an inquest into his undeserving MBBS Degree would expose the rot in the university system.

This is the Character leading the charge for the Labour Party in Anambra State, thinking that a people as sophisticated as ndi Anambra can be bought over with few bags of rice, smarmy philanthropy and political grandstanding. Tony and his promoters would need to think again. Anambra cannot be taken over again by renegades, not even their vestiges would be allowed a chance to fester.
