The All Progressives Grand
Alliance, APGA, has provided reasons Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State
will not be contesting against President Muhammadu Buhari come 2019
presidential election.
Speaking to Daily Trust, the
National Chairman of APGA, Dr Victor Oye, said that Obiano was not contesting
the 2019 presidential poll because the party was targeting to win the remaining
South-east states.
He said that the recent reports
linking Obiano to 2019 presidential campaign were fallacious and designed to
pitch him against his admirers and scuttle his administration.
He said, “That is ridiculous. The
governor holds his colleagues and, indeed, any other person for that matter in
high esteem. For the whole period I have known the governor he has never been
associated with vainglory, undignified utterances or uncouth words.
“There was no time the governor
told anybody, dead or alive, that he would want to run for the presidency.”
He said being the national
chairman of the party, he should have known about such an ambition before it
would be made public.
He stressed that the party’s
support for President Muhammadu Buhari was “because of the urgent need to work
collectively to heal the wounds of the nation and build an egalitarian and just
society for the present and future generations.”
