AWKA—Ahead of
Anambra 2017 governorship election, former executive member of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Okechukwu Okafor, has said it had become
imperative to bring a better material from Anambra North senatorial zone to
complete
the two tenures to be enjoyed by the zone.
Chief Okafor was
reacting to a claim by Gov. Willie Obiano’s SSA, Politics, Tony-Collins
Nwanbunwane, that Anambra State would return to crisis days if the zone is not
allowed to complete its eight years double tenure.
The PDP stalwart
stated that the performance of the incumbent governor was abysmal and that the
only thing that would make power to remain in Anambra North was for a better
candidate to emerge from the zone.
He alleged that Obiano was only working on
bill boards and in the wild imaginations of his appointees as well as paid
sycophants who have lost touch with reality of what is actually on ground in
the state.
Okafor identified the inability of the governor to conduct local
government elections to deepen democracy in the state as a major failure and a
move to drag the state backward, noting that any approach that would make the
governor a sole administrator is not acceptable. He said: “There is no
justification whatsoever for non conduct of local government election. If the
president had refused to conduct guber poll over one flimsy excuse or the
other, definitely Obiano himself would not have the opportunity to come on
board.”
The PDP chieftain, however, recalled with nostalgia how the incumbent
governor abused the confidence the state imposed on the North Senatorial zone
and thus had cast the zone as one that lacked the human capital to perform like
the last two Governors from the Central Senatorial zone had done.
The PDP boss
said he agreed with the declaration by a former governor, Dr Chris Ngige, who
is the Minister of Labour and Productivity that the incumbent governor would be
flushed out of Government House in the next election for incompetence.
