Anambra State governor, Dr. Willie Obiano, has endorsed President
Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 Presidential election, urging him
not to even bother coming to the state for campaign because he
would ensure that he delivers Anambra to him.
Governor Obiano, who spoke during a ceremony tagged ‘a nite with
Innoson and friends of Mr. President’, said he was a beneficiary
of Dr. Jonathan’s transformation agenda.
The event was convened by an industrialist, Chief Innocent
Chukwuma, to formally launch President Jonathan’s scorecard by a
political campaign group, Goodluck Support Group (GSP).
Speaking
through his Special Assistant, Jeo-Martins Uzodike, the Anambra
State governor, noted:
“I want to first say that I’m not surprised
over the invitation to be part of this ceremony because the
convener, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, is the first among equals in
our state.
“He is a very worthy ambassador, who has kept the flag of
Anambra State flying.
We are happy that he has put himself among
the firsts in Anambra State and that was why I, as governor must
be here to stand by him. The shoes I’m wearing belong to Chief
Peter Obi, who is adjudged as the greatest supporter of President
Goodluck Jonathan.
“More importantly, I stand today as the greatest beneficiary of
the transformation agenda of President Jonathan. Recall that if
not for the free and fair election and his one man, one vote, I
would not be governor today. I’m governor because the people of
Anambra State were given the opportunity to vote for a person of
their choice. I’m one of the greatest beneficiaries of such measure,
which was a nightmare in the recent past.
“Finally, without belabouring it, I want to state that the theme of
our campaign in Anambra State is continuity. Since we are
continuing with the infrastructure Governor Peter Obi put in place
in Anambra, I make bold to say that we want to swim and sink with
what he also left politically.
“We are going to continue with the support of President Goodluck
Jonathan.”
