A group of students that goes by the name, Association of Anambra Students, have called on the state governor, Mr. Peter Obi, to go for a second term in office, citing continuity as their reason.(Illustration picture shows Gov. obi with Ambassador of the People’s Republic of Korea, RI Chan Ho, who paid him a courtesy call at Government House, Awka recently)
In a release signed by the students' association's publicity Secretary, Placid Ujumadu, the Group said that Anambra State had never had it so good since Governor Obi became governor.
Part of the statement reads:
“We are appalled by what appear to be reckless and free-for all scramble to become the Governor of Anambra State. Much as we respect the right of any qualified Anambrarian to aspire to become the Governor of the State, we believe there is always the minimum standard. We cannot and do not expect anybody who has the love of the State at heart to be comfortable with the caliber of people that want to contest for the governorship election.”
Speaking, further, the group said that it was a disgrace to reckon with some characters that are aspiring to govern the state of Ojukwus and Ekwuemes of Nigeria.
On their preference for Obi, the students said that he has out-performed all others that had governed the state in the past. They said that under obi, the state is witnessing integrated development as it had never witnessed in the past.
In their words: “It is now clear to even the blind that development is the ability to tackle all sectors simultaneously as the Government of Obi is doing now. There is hardly any sector, ranging from education to commerce and industry that the man is not tackling.”
The people who want to challenge the Governor in the face of his wonderful work do not have the interest of the state at heart, the students concluded.
