"I’ll shout if Jonathan fails on promises to Igbo" — Gov Obi

No comments :


According to Governor Peter Obi he  when Igbo were agitated over the zoning arrangement of the Peoples Democratic Party,Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has been revealed what President Goodluck Jonathan promised to do for the South East geopolitical zone, which caused leaders of the zone to support his presidential aspiration.
Obi said that he and other Igbo leaders supported the president because he promised to fix South East roads, build second Niger Bridge and give the Igbo their due share in the country, among others. He said that any time Jonathan fails on these promises he would speak out.
The governor said that South East members of the People Democratic Pparty (PDP)  should explain to Igbo what went wrong in the sharing of offices, as announced by the party. People have this impression that you have not done much for the growth of APGA in the South East. They compared you to Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos State, who was able to grow his party. How committed are you to ensure that APGA survives after your tenure expires?
I always tell people that the day you measure the income of Anambra and the income of most states and what we have been able to achieve with that income, you will appreciate the enormity of my achievements. We live in a country where we do compare two different situations, like comparing what is happening in New York Times of America to what is happening in a Nigerian newspapers. In America, you cannot compare the state of Arkansas, whose budget is not up to 10 per cent the budget of state of New York. Here, if anybody wants to compare me, there are about five states that I don’t receive up to 10 per cent of what each of them receives every month. People will be saying look at this man and what he is doing, but nobody wants to compare your level of income. However, I can tell you that if you compare my income to my achievement, it is far better than other party.

You should remember that Tinubu didn’t do this magic when he was governor. He was not impeached. His tenure was not cut short, and he didn’t go for constitution interpretation. We are making progress. This is the first we are winning election in Nnewi, Ojukwu’s local government. In 2003, 2007 and 2010 we lost. This time, in all elections, we won Nnewi. As I said, the key areas, which you use to measure the strength of the party, are, Awka North and South, Nnewi North and South and Onitsha North and South Federal constituencies, which we all won. We have done very well as a party.
