Chief Emeka Kalu has congratulated Gov. Willie Obiano on his victory at the just concluded November 18, governorship Anambra State election.
Kalu, who was an All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship aspirant in the 2015 governorship election in Abia State canvassed and voiced strongly for the re-election and 2nd term completion of the government of Chief Willie Obiano.
In his joyous mood, he said: “The victory of Obiano was quite predictable due to his massive projects and good governance in Anambra. The only thing we saw there was just a play of politics which was visible in that other parties filed their candidates to show relevance in the state. If not so, governor Obiano had no reason to be contested against.”
Chief Kalu insisted that the people knew what was and is right and maintained it. He stressed that they had no choice.
“From the turnout of polling results, you could see the voices of ndi-Anambra. It was so dramatic. These people know that a vote against Obiano was a vote against good road in the state; they knew it would amount to non-payment of their salaries; they knew that there would be an effect on the security state of Anambra which has been beefed up since the government of Obiano set in in the state.
“You see, the people had no other choice than to vote themselves in in Obiano. Gov. Obiano is people minded and the people see themselves in him”
He stressed that a good look into the data of people who voted for other parties would reveal that they are not indigenes of Anambra.
“I know many would contest this but it is a fact if concrete statistics are put into place. Majority of votes against governor Obiano did not come from Anambra people. It must have been from non-indigenes of the state who are not well informed of the goings in the state and are driven by sentiment and euphoria played out by other political parties.”
He therefore, congratulated Gov. Obiano and wished him well as he pilots the affairs of the state in the next four years.
The Business mogul thanked Ndi Anambra for coming out to vote and commended INEC, security agencies, other political parties and the Federal government for a peaceful outcome of the poll.
He equally advised the governor to be magnanimous in victory.
“Gov. Obiano should extend the hands of brotherhood and friendship to all other candidates irrespective of party differences and form a government that would help him drive the state positively.”
