Peter Obi bows for ASPMDA, Recieves Endorsement

The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi said that Igbos had no option in Nigeria than to work together for the good of the Igbos and Nigerians at large.
Obi said this yesterday at the 16th anniversary of the movement (relocation) of  Auto Spare Parts  and  Machinery Dealers Association (ASPMDA) from Idumuta to the International Trade Fair Complex, Lagos.


Obi who was honoured  as the Grand Patron of the group for his commitment and evident achievements,  said that one of the ways for the Igbos to get their due in Nigeria was by their sending their bests to the National Assembly to represent  them

His words: "Let me make it clear that after series of consultations following the pressure on me to contest for the Senate, I have accepted to do so. I am, in fact, in the race. I have studied the National Assembly as it is now and discovered that many States are represented by past Governors, who are holding important positions, I am convinced that if I go there,  I will join other illustrious Igbo sons and work for  Anambra and the South-East. I will work very well with past Governors, my colleagues, who are there. When other States are sending  their Messi to play for them, we have to send  our own Ronaldo to match them."

Obi who later commissioned the Clinic Complex built by ASPMDA in commemoration of their anniversary, urged Igbos to stand firm wherever they are, but urged them to always fulfill their civic responsibilities at all times.

In his speech, the President of ASPMDA, Dr. DC Offorkansi said that his administration would continue to work for the good of traders. He thanked Mr. Peter Obi for identifying with them at all times and for showing what good governance is for others to emulate.

Speaking earlier,  the Chairman of the occasion, Chief Tony Offorma called for Mr. Peter Obi to be named the Ambassador of Igbo Nation as a man who had been tested and who  proved his onions in all ramifications.
