Dear Editor,
ANAMBRA 2010: PDP MOVING AGAINST STRONG TIDES
Strong and top Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members really came strongly against the
past and intending PDP governors in Anambra State. They may have said the minds of
many Anambra people but in one particular case they got it wrong: Dr. Chris Ngige may
have inherited a failed State from Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju but he (Ngige) performed
creditably to the satisfaction of Anambraians. Ask man in the street he would confirm this
fact.
Both Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief (Dr) Godswill Akpabio and Chief Don Etiebet (a
PDP stalwart) touted the idea that Anambra was a failed State under the previous PDP
governments. By implication they had suggested that the eventual incoming PDP
government might not be different hence they concluded that Governor Obi succeeded in
bringing Anambra out of the failure through landmark achievements and it would be better
he be allowed to continue. They made this categorical statement, which was widely reported
in the media in November 2009 and at a time PDP had already presented Professor
Chukwuma Soludo as its candidate for the February 6, 2010 gubernatorial election.
Akpabio and Etiebet may be right in their support for APGA’s Peter Obi because Soludo
could be said to be a colossal failure while in the CBN because he led Nigeria’s economy to
fail by hobnobbing with those disgraced crooks in the banking industry. Senator Annie
Okonkwo also of the PDP was direct to say that “Soludo will not be the next governor of
Anambra State”; this was reported in the 13th January 2010 edition of Daily Sun. One can
understand Okonkwo’s grouse; he contested and failed in the PDP primary the upheld
Soludo’s candidacy. He now supports another colleague, the PPA’s Mrs. Uche Ekwunife. If
you ask me; I would say that Annie went too deep in expressing his failure by making the far-
reaching statement in the Daily Sun against his party’s candidate. In short, Akpabio, Etiebet
and Okonkwo, all did.
Nevertheless, from any angle you look at the forthcoming Anambra gubernatorial election,
PDP’s Soludo is already a loser; he also talks pompously and laden with bogus campaign
manifesto.
