A video circulating on social media Sunday indicates that former Anambra state governor, Chief Willie Obiano was disgraced at a social gathering in Texas United States.
Obiano who governed the state for eight years has been living in the US since last year when he finished his two tenures of four years each.
As seen in the video by Nationwide Reports, the former governor was going from table to table greeting dignitaries but when he got to the table where Chief Okay Ezeibe was sitting, the man refused to greet or shake hands with Obiano.
As can be seen clearly, as Obiano walked to Ezeibe, a prominent Anambra-born entrepreneur and founder of Legacy Motors, he stretched his right hand to shake the business man but Ezeibe instead folded his hand, bent his head downward and vehemently refused to shake the former governor who was visibly shocked and walked away.
According to a social media user, Olauda Equiano who shared the incident on X, Chief Okey Ezeibe’s decision to refuse a handshake with Willie Obiano was motivated by the fact that the entrepreneur believed the former governor “stole millions and left our people in poverty.”
Equiano called for a collective stand against corrupt politicians and for holding them accountable for their actions.
He wrote; “Anambra born entrepreneur and founder of Legacy Motors, Chief Okey Ezeibe, disgraced Willie Obiano at a party in Houston TX. “No handshake for a governor who stole millions and left our people in poverty”. It’s time we start to challenge these criminal politicians….stand totally against them. Publicly shame them and make them uncomfortable wherever we see them. There is no hiding place for evil politicians. Let’s hold them accountable. Great job Chief Okey Ezeibe.👏🏽”
