Anambra State
As the date for the rescheduled rerun of the Anambra Central Senatorial election remains uncertain, the state Chairman of the People for Democratic Change, PDC, Prince Isaac Onuka, has pitched his support with former Governor Peter Obi, to emerge as the Senator for the zone, saying he possessed the qualities to represent the district in the upper legislature.
Addressing reporters in Awka yesterday, Onuka described Obi, who is being put forward by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the race, as a man who would give dividends of democracy to the zone, considering his political and business clout. According to him, having ruled Anambra State for eight years, Obi understood the needs of the zone and would bring his wealth of experience to bear in carrying out legislative functions in the senate.
He said: “Obi is a gogetter who would stop at nothing to get results. He is a purpose –driven man and a courageous person who is not easily discouraged from pursuing what he believes in. “With his excellent performance as a governor, Obi will command a lot of respect from his colleagues in the Senate who would be inclined to support any request he would make for the benefit of his zone.”
