2021: Anambra Needs Another Governor Like Peter Obi – Ozigbo

Governor aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party in Anambra State, Valentine Ozigbo, on Sunday, called on the people of the state to elect a governor like the former Governor of the state, Peter Obi, in the forthcoming election in November.

The former Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc, said, “Peter Obi left Anambra on a positive trajectory with various sums left in many banks which have been validated by many sources.”

“But today, Anambra is in such a debt that one starts to wonder how the state government is where it is now.”

“With the way things are moving, Anambra will soon be left out in the comity of economically-viable states in the near future. That is why my mission is very apt.”

Ozigbo while speaking with newsmen in Awka on Sunday said, “We cannot afford another mistake of enthroning incompetence after such underperformance.”

“Anambra today is a shadow of what it used to be. Obiano has done his best but whether his best is good enough, it is for the people to judge.”

“I have moved around the state and observed serious infrastructural decay, poor waste management, lack of access to basic amenities and so on.”

“More worrisome is the rising debt profile of Anambra State despite the poor performance of the government.”

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State chapter, has backed Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State as leader of the opposition party in the south-west region.

Naija News reports that the Chief Press Secretary to Makinde, Taiwo Adisa, made this known in a statement.
