2015 Presidency: Jonathan will defeat Buhari-Peter Obi Former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi, has said that President Jonathan would not have any problem defeating the All Progressives Congress (APCP) Candidate in the 2015 Presidential election. Obi, who is the Deputy Director of the Jonathan Campaign Organization in charge of the south East, South South and South west, said it had been ordained that Jonathan would serve a second-term and that nothing could stop his re-election in 2015. Obi spoke to journalists shortly after his investiture as a Papal knight of St Sylvester at the St patrick Cathedral, Awka, Anambra State. He said only peope above 55 years of age could be made papal knights, but he invested even thought he was not up to the age, and that the way he miraculously became papal knight before the mandatory age of 55 would be the way Jonathan would be miraculously re-elected next year. On the Seeming strained relationship between him, his former party, All progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the incumbent governor of the state, Chief Willie Obiano, Obi described it as the figment of the imagination of certain people, adding that he had a cordinal relationship with the aforementioned. He, however, said that where he would be going politically would be better than where he was before leaving APGA. Bishop of Awka Diocese of the Catholic Church, Most Rev Pauilinus EzeOkafor, said that the recognition of Obi for the knighthood was as a result of the wonderful work he did with his team when he was executive governor of the Anambra State. The bishop said one of most significant contributions of Obi was the impact of his administration on the psyche of Anambra people. He maintained that Obi demonstrated that Anambra state was not cursed but that people were the cause of the problems. These demonstrations goes beyond the provision of infrastructure-the good network of roads, the new faces and lease of live given to our schools and hospitals, the payment of salaries, pension and gratuities as and when due. The core of his contribution is with regard to the mental restructuring, the non tangible impressions etched on the psyche of the people, the Bishop submitted. Speaking on Obis investiture, Governor Willie Obiano and APGA National chairman, Chief victor umeh in their separate speeches described Obi as an achiever who had put his footprint on the sands of time, adding that they normally have misunderstanding with him on principles and nothing more. The Occasion which look like a political carnival, saw eminent Nigerians like former Minister of Health, Prof ABC Nwosu, amony others in attendance. President Jonathan who was represented by his Special Assistant on Inter Party Affairs, Senator Ben Obi extolled Obis virtues and asked his successor, Obiano to emulate him.
