reports that the former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has assured Governor
Willie Obiano that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
members in the National
Assembly will work with All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the ultimate
good and progress of the State.
Obi stated this yesterday during the presentation of
Certificates of Return to INEC declared winners of the 2015 General election
into the National Assembly.
Flanked by the Senator-elect for Anambra South,
Sen. Andy Uba; Hon. Uche Ekwunife (Central); and Princess Stella Oduah
(Anambra North), Obi said that the benefit of having three of them in one
party was that they would work together for the good of Anambra State in
particular and Nigeria in general.
He expressed happiness that Anambra has ranking members in
House to ensure that the State benefitted from distribution of Committees and
other related matters.
Asked to comment on Gov. Willie Obiano’s broadcast, where he
said that the National Assembly election was rigged and the actual reasons why
the PDP did not win a single House of Assembly seat in the last election, Obi ,
who said that he was not given to careless talk, said that the National
Assembly election was peaceful and orderly unlike the election for the State
Assembly that was fraught with massive inducement, threat to lives and property
and many other atrocities.
He however said that since it had given the Governor
the APGA members that he said he needed to work with, that the prayers of
every Anambra man was for the Governor to build on the foundations already laid
for the good of the people of the State.
Speaking on those foundations Obi recalled that it was under
his Government that the State built the first Secretariat, built the first
Teaching Hospital; returned schools to the Church and invested so
much in education that the State came first in NECO and WAEC for three
consecutive years; rebuilt Onitsha, especially the ten-lane Upper-Iweka Head
bridge dual Carriage road; provided many vehicles to security agencies as well
as started the demolition of houses owned by, or used for kidnapping; started
two major hotels for the State and three shopping complexes in Awka,
Onitsha and Nnewi.
Obi who also recalled that it was under him that the Federal
Ministry of Works adjudged Anambra as the best in network of roads and the Debt
Management Office adjudged the State as the least in indebtedness, prayed that
those standard should be maintained and built upon.
Calling for judicious use of State resources, he said it was
precisely the reason why, in spite of his great achievements, he was able to
save and leave 75 Billion Naira in cash and investment after he left
office, even when others left debts for their States. “As it is today the
dollar component of the money we left has appreciated to almost 40 Billion
Naira”, Obi said.
PDP to work with APGA to move state forward, says ex Governor Obi assures Obiano
