THREE REASONS Why Willie Obiano Will Win Anambra Election Again Over APC, PDP And.....OTHERS.

Willie Obiano, Gov. of Anambra State.

As the governorship elections in Anambra State is fast drawing close, the major players are seriously campaigning and strategizing on how to win the seat especially those of the two major opposition parties in the state, The People’s Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC which is the political party in-charge at the national level of government.

Truth is, I am finding it a bid difficult to agree that the current governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano hasn’t done well as governor in the last FOUR YEARS and I wish anybody can show me evidence that his performance is poor and I will show the same person why we shouldn’t have voted in the way we all did in 2015, so, if performance is measured purely on merit and not on the pedestal of political parties trying to win election by bad-mouthing incumbents, then Willie Obiano is a saint.

Imagine the governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha and his Kogi State counterpart, Yahaya Bello going to Anambra to ask Anambarians to vote out Willie Obiano who is not owing WORKERS SALARIES and Pensioner’s PENSIONS and vote a member of their party, Dr. Tony Nwonye who would have the two of them as ROLE MODELS in the area of prompt payment of salaries and pensions, WAHALA GO DEY?

These three reasons though are the major amongst others why Obiano will win hands-down all other candidates and these are:

1.    The political sentiments attached to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA as a political party with its roots from the Biafran warlord, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. Anambarians are known to hold Ojukwu at very high esteem and with his darling wife, Bianca Ojukwu on the campaign train of Willie Obiano, it will be tough to win the APGA/Willie Obiano in Anambra, atleast, not NOW.

2.    Another factor that will work in favour of Chief Willie Obiano in this election will be the issue of Salaries and Pensions. Regardless of how this issue is looked at, when civil servants and pensioners are paid their entitlements to the later, they (those directly involved), their family members and extended families would champion the course of that candidate who has not owed them salaries and pensions for the period he is in power. This is actually why I feel disturbed that men like Rochas Okorocha and Yahaya Bello would be allowed entrance into that campaign venue of the APC in Anambra State.

Willie Obiano is one governor in Anambra State, who like his predecessor, Peter Obi, has not owed salaries and pensions since he came in as governor and this is one of the major reasons Anambarians are in love with him, especially the lower class and with their votes alone, Willie Obiano is sure of victory in the November 18^th elections.

3.    The Anambra Rice is one huge achievement of the current governor of Anambra State that simply WOWs you when you see how beautiful that venture is. Yes, is understandable when there is a popular believe that Anambra is not a primarily agricultural state, especially when making quick money is concerned with Anambra youths venturing out into businesses in their bids to break even fast, but this governor came in and diversified the business of farming and immediately, Anambra Rice was launched and I have had a taste and can testify to the sweetness of the rice comparable to only the original Abakalaiki Rice from Ebonyi State. The governor made it a point of duty also to spread the sharing of the Anambra rice to all levels of the civil service structure in the state to make sure that every family in Anambra, both home and abroad, so long as you have one person who is a government worker, must have a taste of the rice whenever you are home for either Christmas or Easter celebrations.

Yes, like a man who is never perfect, Willie Obiano have had some of his issues, especially his fight with his friend and mentor, former governor Peter Obi, which I think would have been fairly managed if they as adults didn’t allow it to escalate to the level it is now, I would say that the governor of Aanambra State has fared well and voting him out to bring someone like either Yahaya Bello of Kogi State or Rochas Okorocha of Imo State would be detrimental to the development already started by Peter Obi and had to be continued by someone who has done pretty well with the initial mandate given to him by his people.

Desirably, I expect Willie Obiano to win the Anambra Election and if for any reason he doesn’t, WHICH I DOUBT 100 PERCENT, Anambarians should sure blame themselves when Imo and Kogi States are being replicated in their state.

Willie Obiano is my candidate for the November 18^th Governorship Election in Anambra State.
