Wife of Anambra state governor, Mrs. Margaret Peter-Obi, contends that her husband’s score card as governor for three years qualifies him for a second term in office. Mrs. Obi maintains that her husband has scored 75 per cent in providing democracy dividends to the people of the state. Margaret, in a recent media outing, says: “As an Anambra woman, I want him (Governor Peter Obi) to re-contest because this is a man that has a vision for the state, a vision that is not selfish”.
“All my husband does is to eat, sleep and drink Anambra state. My husband hardly sleeps. He wakes up 4:30 am in the morning goes to morning mass and by 6 am he is in the office trying to fix the state for better tomorrow”, Margaret adds.
The First Lady maintains that Governor Obi has, so far, given a good account of himself, insisting that he remains the best candidate and the right choice of the people of Anambra state for the forthcoming 2010 governorship election in the state.
Margaret recalls that Governor Obi is the first governor of the state to tackle development simultaneously from all sectors since the creation of the state in 1991. She, therefore, urges Anambrarians to encourage him to outlive his vision for the state.
The First Lady, however, solicits votes in favor of her husband from Anambra women, youths, all and sundry during the 2010 elections. In particular, she enjoins parents not to allow their wards and children to be used as thugs during the poll, but to use their votes wisely despite any amount offered to them by politicians as, according to her, true Igbo values surpass money.
The governor’s wife reminds Anambra people that it is only when the right candidate who has the interest of the state at heart is voted into office that the state would move forward, asserting that Obi has performed optimally as governor of the state in all ramifications.
