Chief Nnia Nwodo,
President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, a socio cultural organisation of Igbos has
congratulated Chief Willie Obiano for his victory in the just concluded Anambra
governorship election.
Nwodo, in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Sunday also congratulated Obiano’s
opponents for a healthy and competitive encounter.
The president-general urged
Obiano to put the campaign rhetoric apart and extend his hand of fellowship to
his opponents.
He urged the rest of Igbos to
copy Anambra example and see politics as a healthy game.
Nwodo commended President
Muhammadu Buhari for keeping to his word to ensure a free and fair election.
“The fact that all the political
parties and the Anambra people came out to vote is most commendable.
“The security personnel deserve
congratulations for the secure atmosphere in which the election was held.
“INEC, so far, appeared
transparent and must be given a pat on the back,’’ he said.

All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) polled 234,071 votes to defeat 36 other
candidates in the election held on Nov. 18 in the state.
