GOVERNMENT HOUSE, OWERRI
PRESS RELEASE
The Imo state Governor, Owelle rochas has called on the people of Anambra State to tow the line of Imo people by resisting a godfatherism.
Governor Okorocha made the call at the Anambra State governorship campaign flag-off of the All Progressive Congress [APC] held at the Holy Trinity Cathedral field Onitsha.
He described godfatherism in the Nigerian politics as an evil bondage that must be for credible leaders to emerge. He reminded the people of the need to guide their consciences against being swayed by money or other material gifts from selfish politicians. “Anytime you see them give you money for politics, remember it is your money they stole that they are giving you” he admonished.
Governor Okorocha attested that Senator Chris Ngige has all the potentials to give Anambra State a most credible and transparent leadership and urged them to vote for him.
Governor Adams Oshomole of Edo State reminded Anambra people of the need to vote for the man who they were sure of his political antecedence. He recalled that Senator Chris Ngige made remarkable achievements in Anambra State within his short stay as governor of the state especially in the areas of education, healthcare delivery service, infrastructural development and regular payment of workers’ salaries and pensions.
Governor Oshomole therefore enjoined the people to not only cast their vote for Senator Chris Ngige but ensure that their vote are protected.
Other testimonies on the credibility of Senator Chris Ngige came from the ekiti State Governor Dr Kayode Fayemi; the National Leader of APC, Alhaji Ahmed Bola Tunubu; the National Chairman of APC Chief Bisi Akonde and former National Chairman of defunct ANPP and former governor of Abia state, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu among others.
The presence of Governor Okorocha added glamour to the event as his large convoy and beautifully APC branded Lexus limousine meandered the streets of the Onitsha to the admiration of the traders and residents of the city.
