Ahead of the gubernatorial election in Anambra State come
2017, some political contractors are already at work overheating the polity in the
state.
This is because of their ambition either to govern that
State, or having governed the State before, they want to pave way for them to
milk and suck the State dry to the detriment of the generality of Anambrarians.
They held sway in government without any obstruction or plot
of any sort against them by the people of Anambra State. They had a free rein
and enjoyed the widest support of the people, although their tenure was
disastrous and tragedous as the people were subjected to perpetual economic
slavery and untold hardship. Yet, the families of these political tin gods and
their acolytes swam in the ocean of wealth and affluence.
If these gladiators who boast today that they gave the
present governor the leeway to mount the saddle should be truthful and have the
grace to admit the obvious, they will concede that the governor commanded
tremendous respect and an intimidating pedigree which are setting and marketing
points any day and anywhere.
Given this scenario, it is now clear as crystal that the destructive
activities of these so-called political kingmakers are actuated by no more than
sheer jealousy, envy and animosity towards the present government on account of
its competency and capacity to provide infrastructural facilities, reflect the
economy, and serve dividends of democracy to the people.
It floats common sense that somebody who settled for the
present governor among the army of contenders for the position would be the one
to spearhead campaigns of calamity against the governor and employ and
galvanize surrogates and acolytes to destroy the government.
The governor of Anambra State, Dr. Willie Obiano, is
definitely out to protect the interest of the people of the state, give the
state first class leadership and provide durable democratic dividends for them.
Moreover, he places premium on his name and integrity above
all, unlike his predecessors. Again, unlike his predecessors, Obiano is a
complete gentleman, a scholar, auditor and financial management expert.
Anambra State and her people will be better with the
re-election of Obiano. The re-election
of the governor is a political imperative. Anambrarians should therefore be
wiser than the serpent as the devil you know is better than the angel you do
not know.
Saving Obiano is simply saving Anambra state.
