The people of Anambra state have described Governor Obiano visit to the president-elect, General Mohammed Buhari (rtd) as a sign of weakness of character and display of political immaturity.
www.theagenews.blogspot.com and www.ostareze.blogspot.com
sampled the opinions of stakeholders in Anambra including members of Anambra
forum. Chief Ikechukwu N. Agwu, a member of Anambra Forum expressed displeasure
at the manner at which the governor, Dr Willie Obiano and APGA hurriedly
pitched tent with General Buhari after they heavily campaigned against him and
his party APC in Anambra State.
"Governor Obiano and his APGA brigade supported Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan 100% and, actually his party, adopted Goodluck Jonathan as their presidential candidate." He recalled
"Their presidential candidate lost the election and they should try and understand this very obvious fact" Agwu advised.
Chief Agwu further stated that it was a sheer show of political weakness and instability to support and campaign against an opponent and still go lobbying for favours and appointment even before the opponent has taken up reins of administration.
He urged the governor and APGA to accept their fate as an opposition party and work with that so as to strengthen the nation’s democracy.
Chief Ikechukwu advised governor Obiano and the BOT chairman of APGA
to borrow a leaf from APC and constitute a strong opposition thereby strengthening the nation’s democratic terrain/process.
Other members of Anambra forum who aired their views through the forum stated in strong terms their disappointment at the action of the governor.

Also speaking in the same vein, the
vice chairman of Igbos in Niger Republic, High Chief Paul Ezekafor said he
anticipated what he referred to as the unbecoming act of one who he said should
be a role model for other Igbos.
He said he always knew that Igbos don’t
make very strong oppositions as they are opportunists and that is why they have
not been able to form a formidable force as a people in the Nigerian political
arena.
Chief Paul admonished the APGA leadership to
read the handwriting on the wall and understand that every step towards
conceding to APC will only spell their quick demise from the Nigerian political
playground. He therefore called on the governor to make a private apology to
the APGA membership and re-strategize.
