Obi is a Man of great Vision

All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has expressed satisfaction with the performance of Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State after nearly three years in office.

The Chairman of the Party in Njikoka Local Government Area, Paul Anaekwe, who made this disclosure to journalists, described Governor Obi as a man of great vision who had brought his vast managerial experience to bear on the state through his Anambra State Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS) which, Anaekwe said, sought to simultaneously develop all sectors.

Anaekwe particularly commended Governor Obi on the recent flag off of the strategic Nimo/Abacha/Eziowelle road which had remained abandoned for 26 years and expressed little surprise at the Governor’s strides in road construction as he had promised during his electioneering campaign to tar 100kms of road every year and pointed out that even before three years in office more than 300kms had already been tarred.

While recalling Governor Obi’s achievements in other sectors like education, Anaekwe said it would only be proper for the people’s Governor to be endorsed for another four years in office in order to fully complete what he had started.

On the government-labour impasse, Anaekwe appealed to labour not to allow enemies of the state to infiltrate their ranks as the state’s federal allocation was nothing to write home about compared to fellow South-East states like Abia and Imo who were among oil producing states. Rather, he said, they should compare Anambra with states like Enugu and Ebonyi who suffer same fate like Anambra State .

Anaekwe however expressed confidence in the maturity and understanding of labour in the state and hoped that the on-going dialogue between government and labour would be amicably resolved
