The senator representing Anambra North in the National Assembly, Stella Oduah, has described the victory of incumbent governor of the state, Willie Obiano, in the just concluded governorship election as an end to impunity and imposition in the state.
Reacting to the election result, the PDP lawmaker described it as victory for all Anambra people.
She commended all Anambra indigenes for making sure that their votes counted.
Oduah who dropped out of the PDP governorship primary which produced Oseloka Obaze as the party’s standard bearer, charged the governor to speed up the developmental projects which he had started in the state.
According to the former Aviation Minister who currently chairs the Senate Committee on Cooperation and Integration, “For the first time Anambra people have been politically liberated, the issue of godfatherism has been finally put to death, the issue of imposition by any party or group has also been put to death.
“This victory is a victory of hope for Anambra people, it is a victory of progress for Anambra people and it is a victory for development. The joy among the people has no bounds, you can feel it and you can hear it.
“From the onset I had always said that what we need above every other thing is not about party, it is about who will give us the development that we require. It is about who will restore the hope of security, governance and the hope that Anambra will have a place in Nigeria”.
In the final elections results declared at the weekend, Obiano of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was reelected having secured the highest votes with 234,071; followed by All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Tony Nwoye (98,752); Oseloka Obaze of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) polled 70,219; while the United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate Osita Chidoka came a distant fourth with 7,903 votes.
