Obiano’s Rising Profile Rattles Opposition

The members of the People’s Democratic Party‎ in Anambra State are scratching their heads in utter confusion as to what to do about the towering profile of Governor Willie Obiano in recent times.


Feelers from the ad hoc meeting held by the group in Abuja revealed that in total acknowledgement of Governor Obiano’s construction of four bridges in less than two years, the group named him “Oji bridge eme ogo,” which loosely translates to “the Demystifyer of Bridge Construction.”

According to the source who took active part in the deliberations of the group, the opposition is overawed by Obiano’s record of building four bridges in less than two years. “It took over fifteen years to build the Nkpor Bridge. Successive administrations struggled to build one bridge in fifteen years. But Obiano built four in two years. How do you dispute that?” he queried.

Reasoning that Obiano has shown Ndi Anambra that their dream of accelerated development was realisable, the source further revealed that PDP chieftains and financiers were unsure of what to say against a man who had climbed over the terrible state of the economy to prove to the people that progress is possible in the midst of adversity.

The ‎source finally submitted that it was clear that the overwhelming endorsement garnered by the Governor on the back of his recent emergence as The Sun Governor of the Year has put him beyond the reach of any candidate the opposition may contemplate to put up in the approaching election.

Indeed, if the records are any admissible yardstick for measuring performance in a political office, Governor Obiano has firmly established himself as a man for all seasons.

He ended the over 40-year old scourge of violent robbery and kidnapping in Onitsha and environs and turned Anambra into Nigeria’s hottest investment destination, attracting $3.2bn investments in less than two years.

He also transformed Awka into Nigeria’s ‎fastest emerging metropolis and ignited an Agro-revolution that has turned Anambra into an exporter of farm produce in less than two years.

Obiano remains the only governor to have increased salaries when his peers are scrounging for bail outs and one of the four governors that still pay salaries as and when due.

This is why Obiano is a nightmare to the opposition!
