Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Sir Paul Nwosu, has said that the video of an obviously sponsored and amateurish drama at Ochanja Roundabout Water Fountain where a water vendor is pretending to supply water to the supposedly dry fountain is mischievous and not well thought through.

 

According to a press release signed by the Commissioner, for lack of what to use to discredit and denounce the publicly-acclaimed hard-working Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, opposition politicians have gone berserk in orchestrating all manner of infantile images to drive none existent point.

 

The release noted that unlike ordinary tap which flows from tank that could be depleted over time, a water fountain recycles its water continuously, and the one in question, which was installed barely a month ago, could not have evaporated into the air.

 

Also, according to the release, the Anambra State Ministry of Power and Water Resources has reticulated water within five kilometers radius of the neighbourhood, and there is no way water supply to the Ochanja Roundabout Water Fountain could have been a challenge.

 

It said government frowns at the unwarranted tampering and possible vandalization of public utilities built with tax payers money, adding that anybody found tampering, defacing or damaging the roundabout and fountain or any road infrastructure from now on will be immediately arrested and prosecuted.

 

The release warned that people should desist from making themselves available for a useless propaganda that could land them in jail.
