WE URGE OUR TEAMING FELLOWERS AND FOLLOWERS AND THOSE THAT LOVE APGA TO DISCOUNTENANCE THE PURPORTED RULING OF THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT DIRECTING INEC TO ACCEPT THE NAME OF CHIKE OBIDIGBO, AS THE RULING HAS LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON THE APGA CANDIDACY OF CHIEF WILLIE OBIANO. WE ALSO DIRECT THE PEOPLE OF AWKA CITY TO TROOP OUT EN MASS TODAY TO WELCOME CHIEF WILLIE OBIANO(THE IJELE) AS HIS CAMPAIGN TEAM STORM AWKA TODAY Excitement as Obiano flags off campaign Excitement is almost palpable in Anambra State as candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Willie Obiano, flags off his governorship campaign. The exercise is billed to commence today in Awka, the capital. Obianao’s emergence on the scene, according to political analysts in Anambra State, has further raised the bar. Watchers of political events in Anambra believe that the contest is essentially a two-horse race between the ex-banker and Senator Chris Ngige. Not much is expected of other candidates, they argue. Of all the candidates bracing up for the November 16 governorship election, Obiano is considered as one of the most “outstanding.” Unlike others, Obiano is the political dark-horse, untainted by the political corrosion in Nigeria and the greed that sounded the death-knell on many career bankers. His years in Fidelity Bank, where he played a formidable role as the Executive Director and Head of Business Banking, were the bank’s most buoyant years as his financial wizardry and vast contacts shored up the bank’s multiple forays in the domestic and international financial markets for funding. Obiano is fondly remembered by his erstwhile colleagues in the bank as an ebullient and amiable leader who knew when to deploy the carrot and the stick to maximum effect. Part of what stands Obiano apart is that he is from the oil-bearing Aguleri in Anambra North Senatorial District, which Governor Peter Obi has adjudged best suited to produce his successor. Grassroots politicians and kingmakers in Anambra North see him as one of their own, because of his generosity of spirit and philanthropy.
