Ofunne Omo Obaze, wife of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Anambra governorship election,
has said she will not accept the title of ‘First Lady’ if her husband, Oseloka
Obaze, gets elected.
She stated this in Awka during a
chat with newsmen on Tuesday.
The medical doctor said she does
not believe in the title and will not run the ‘office of the wife of the
governor’.
Ofunne noted that instead, she
will continue with her profession but will effectively carry out other duties
as may be required of a wife.
The Assistant Professor of
Paediatrics stressed that Anambra needs to bring on board “an experienced
public policy expert with a doting family and an understanding and supportive
wife”.
She assured that she is prepared
to do everything within her power to elevate and complement her husband if he
wins.
According to her, Anambra
deserves a governor whose wife understands her role as a wife and mother, and a
person who has the requisite capacity to advise candidly without being
meddlesome.
“The supportive role of the wife
of the governor requires a person who has a full grasp of the need for decorum
and being beyond reproach.
“Someone who will support in ‘the
other room’, where statecraft gains impetus from deeply reflective and
unvarnished counsel.”
Ofunne has been married to Obaze
for several years and their union is blessed with children.
The gubernatorial election will
hold on Saturday November 18.
