Anambra Solidarity Forum has once again emphasized the need for continuity in governing the state. Making this statement in Awka after visiting some of the projects undertaken by the Peter Obi administration, its president, Nonso Okaka, observed that with another four years for Governor Obi, Anambra state would never be the same again.

While reeling off some of the projects sites visited to include Odor Bridge, State secretariat, Overhead Bridges at UniZik and Upper Iweka, Iyiagu flood Channel, Amaku Hospital which is currently being equipped with the trappings of a Teaching Hospital, Onitsha General Hospital already accredited, Umueri General Hospitals, Faculty blocks at Igbariam and Uli campuses of the Anambra State University, School of Agriculture, Mgbakwu, Judges’ Quarters at Onitsha among others, the group wondered where the government sourced the money to execute all the projects even as it is common knowledge to all that it never borrowed a dime.

Commending Governor Obi further, the group promised to ensure that the votes of the electorate will count in next year’s election. Allaying the fear of corrupting the process of electing the next governor of the State by unscrupulous politicians, the group promised to safeguard every vote cast. The era of rigging and foisting unpopular candidates on the people is dead and buried, warning that such act would not be tolerated by Anambrarians again. “Let every aspirant be allowed a level playing ground and let none seek recourse to wire pulling influence of any type so that the expectations of the people should not be thwarted” the group said

On the vexed issue of people claiming credit for work done by the Obi administration, the group urged the Governor not to be distracted by such trifle but to continue to remain focused in his onerous task of giving democracy dividends to the citizens of the state since, according to them, every laborer has their reward.

They called on Anambrarians to be wary of those who have nothing to offer the state but are today flaunting their wealth and dangling all sorts of carrots to get their votes.
