Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Chairman, Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), warns all politicians in Anambra state to stop dropping his name for cheap political gain, saying he has endorsed Governor Peter Obi for a second term in office.

Ojukwu who told newsmen after a courtesy call to Governor Obi that, ‘for some of you who think I only love Peter, I adore him because he has made us the people of Anambra state proud’.
Ojukwu who doffed his cap and threw it on the ground for Governor Obi as a mark of endorsement said: “If I have to choose again who will govern Anambra state, I will choose Peter a second time because he has done us proud.”
Turning to the Governor, he says, ‘Peter ride on, wherever you are, I am there with you because everybody is happy with you. I am proud of you and I assure you that whenever you look back you will see me standing with you’.
Ojukwu maintains that he found in Peter Obi a sufficient man with the character needed to govern Anambra state that made him to “release” his son to work with him.
The war hero says that Governor Obi’s marvelous work in the state would continue to endear him to him, and appeals to Obi to continue to ignore the antics of politicians running from pillar to post in the name of criticisms because the Governor has not allowed them have access to the treasury of the state.
On whether he actually endorsed Emeka Etiaba, the angry Ojukwu said: ‘How can I when I have a Governor who I have had no cause to be doubtful of. Addressing journalists, he said you can say that some others are critical of Peter because he is not giving them what they want, but you cannot say that of Ojukwu. My interest in government is that services are delivered to my people and it is only a sadist that would want me to forsake a man who is doing a great work in my state’.
The Ikemba says he would not only support Obi for a second term, but would go to the centre as a worthy son of the state.
KlinReports recalls that Emeka Etiaba has been going round the town boasting that Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu endorsed him, a claim that has prompted the leadership of APGA to accuse him of trying to destabilize the party by working for external agents.
