Anambra State
Governor, Mr Willie Obiano, could not resist the urge to
take shots at his opponents during the governorship debate organised on
Sunday by Channels Television with Peoples Democratic candidate, Mr Oseloka
Obaze being at the receiving end of his attacks.
Mr Obiano of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) argued that none of
those out to boot him out of power were competent to be governor and that they
were better off doing something else.
He
also accused them of lacking facts about the state even though Mr Obaze, a
former diplomat at the United Nations, served under him as Secretary to the
State Government for more than a year.
“By
the way, what Anambra requires is somebody that can drive the process and I am
the only guy here that can do so. Tony (Nwoye) doesn’t have the executive
capacity, he hasn’t worked in his entire life. My good friend Oseloka Obaze
worked in the UN, but the best place for him to work now is in Syria – to be
distributing relief materials,” he said.
Governor
Obiano did not spare former Minister of Aviation and candidate of the United
Progressive Party, Mr Osita Chidoka.
“My
other fellow with executive capacity is (Osita) Chidoka. He has a good
executive experience but his executive experience is in number plates and
controlling traffic,” the governor said, recalling Mr Chidoka’s time as Corps
Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corps.
Sunday’s
debate spanned three hours with the debate proper lasting from 7 pm till 9 pm with
sandwiched between a 30-minute pre-debate analysis and a 30-minute post-debate
analysis.
Five
candidates participated in the debate with Mr Godwin Ezeemo of the People’s
Progressives People’s Alliance (PPA) completing the list.
Mr
Ezeemo, an industrialist, and publisher, decried the situation in the state,
saying if elected he would select the best brains to move Anambra forward.(Channels)
