Obi Renders Account of Stewardship Today At Women Develoment Center Awka By 10 am

                                                     

Governor of Anambra state, Mr Peter Obi will this morning render account tagged "end of Tenure Report" to the people of Anambra State at the Women Development Center Awka.

Chairman of the Anambra State Elders Council, Dr Dozie Ikedife, who announced this yesterday in a press statement made available to the Nation said the elders organized the event to enable Obi render an account of his stewardship to the people who elected him into office.

Saturday Nation reports that Obi vacates office on the 17th of this month and will hand over to Chief Willy Obiano to continue from where he stopped.

The Release stated: "Today's event will offer him the opportunity to answer to his real masters, clarify his approach to governance, his developmental priorities and the overall impact of his tenure. It will also offer him the chance to talk about some critical decisions he took as the Governor and the reasons that informed them. We should also want to place it on record that this is yet another noble precedent being set by Mr Obi. He is telling every public office holder that there will always be a day of reckoning", the release said.

Dr. Ikedife said the conception of the event by Anambra Elders' is another innovation in good governance, showing that we have worked well with our Governor. He is innovation-friendly, and he has always taken the lead in the introduction of new order in Nigerian politics. 

“The idea of rendering account in this clime is starting with him, just as he pioneered the dethronement of a serving Governor through legal processes. He also came back from impeachment through legal processes; leading in the introduction of staggered elections, among others.

“Even though the people of Anambra State believe that that he has performed credibly, the event will be an opportunity for him to interact with them and a good innovation for other States to copy”, Ikedife said.  

Today's event, which will broadcast live on Silverbird and AIT television as from 10.30am, will be chaired by Chief Emeka Anyaoku. Nigerians from all walks of life are expected to grace the occasion.
