My Support for Obi is Total

Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu says his support for Governor Peter Obi is total.

While speaking to KlinReports in Awka, Ojukwu maintains that it is only a sadist who does not have interest of people of the state at heart that would, amidst the great works of Governor Obi, fail to support him, or want to challenge him in any manner.

Ojukwu says that what the people of Anambra state need now is to lend total support to the Governor.

He praises Anambra State Integrated Development Strategy (ANIDS) projects, and assures that Governor Obi would continue with it to the benefit of the people.

Ojukwu, also, cautions those claiming Obi’s project as theirs to play politics in a civilized manner, which, according to him, is what Governor Obi represented.

He thanks the Governor for the holistic development of the state, including his home town of Nnewi, and calls for support for him rather than what he calls ‘the inexplicable antics of those that claim Nnewi projects as theirs.’

On the relationship between his father and Governor Obi, Emeka Ojukwu, who is Anambra state commissioner for special duties and transport states: ‘As far as my father is concerned, Obi should be allowed to continue, because his four years in the State has shown that the State was moving forward in the right direction and is rendering services to the people’.

He says Obi does not only bring discipline to governance, but makes the people to see what they never thought was possible in governance.

Speaking further, he insists that since Anambra state was created, Obi was the first Governor to build a befitting secretariat for the state and had asphalted over 340 Kilometers of roads in three years.

Ojukwu, also, lists Obi’s contributions in the area of education and health as part of what have endeared him to his father (Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu) and reasonable minds in the state.

Clarifying his father’s visit to a function organized by Mr. Emeka Etiaba, Ojukwu Jnr. says it should not be construed to mean a slight, pointing out that “for my father who dishes praises in half doses to give Obi a full dose at a function organized by his rival is not only remarkable, but instructive’.
