According to Sahara Reporters online, an investigation has revealed that the alleged $5million Vegetable exports from Anambra State is nothing but a lie and total scam by the Governor of the State, Gov. Willie Obiano.
Recalled that recently, Gov. Obiano claims to have exported millions worth of vegetables to Europe. He said this Exports are mainly from pumpkin leaves and bitter leaves.
Meanwhile, SaharaReporters has found that, as part of Mr. Obiano’s campaign, he
used images allegedly from Anambra farms depicting luscious produce,
including red tomatoes.
Pictures has been circulating on Internet
platforms featuring photos of tomato farms said to be producing
“European standard” tomatoes. But, Sahara Reporters claims to have
reverse-image- searched the photos being circulated by Obiano’s
government, and found that the images were lifted from
other websites and not from Farms in Anambra.
For example, an image of young vegetable plants actually comes from an
Internet page from August 13, 2014, titled “Irrigation Practices in West
Africa.”
Also, Another photo in circulation by Gov. Obiano can be traced back to a 2010 blog
post by an American named Chris Courtin, who had taken the photo during
his fellowship in Nyumbani Village in Kitui County, Kenya.

Sahara Reporters Also claims that officials of Anambra State also visited the cargo section of the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos to pose with
agricultural produce headed to South Africa with hurriedly made banners
draped over one or two of the cargo parcels.
Meanwhile, every attempt to reach Mr. Obiano to ask certain questions, including
information on the location of state farms large enough to produce
agricultural products worth $5 million in exports, the specific
companies used to ship the produce, and end-receiver documents from
European buyers, has ended in futility so far.
