Why I’m seriously working against governor Obiano – Peter Obi

A former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has explained why he is working against  the re-election of his successor, Willie Obiano.

Obi, who spoke on Wednesday during a  rally organised by the women’s wing of the Peoples Democratic Party at the  PDP secretariat in Awka, Anambra State, said  he was just against Obiano’s poor performance.

A media aide to governor Obiano, Mr. Egbuna Amuta, had alleged in an interview with a private radio station in the state that Obi’s feud with Obiano was because the latter had refused to pay N7bn Obi demanded for allegedly funding the 2013 election of Obiano.

But addressing the PDP women on Wednesday, Obi said,” In 2013, I took Obiano around Anambra State, to the markets, to every part of the state and the people kept asking me if I was sure of him as they did not know him, so they  voted for him because of me.

“I told them, I would be the one to lead a campaign against Obiano if he did not perform well in his first term.  Today, can anyone show me what the governor has done within his first term? He has nothing to show for it. I don’t have any issue with Mr. Willie Obiano as a person, but I have issues with  Willie Obiano as governor.”

He said Obiano remained his bossom friend, describing what he called the governor’s poor performance as worrisome.
