The wife of the late Biafran leader, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu has
lauded the Anambra people for keeping faith with her husband’s legacy by voting
for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) at the just concluded
governorship election in the state.
Bianca, who had on the eve of the election invoked the
spirit of her late husband to lead APGA into victory, expressed satisfaction
with the conduct of the election, commending residents for making it
violence-free.
She said this in a statement made available to the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Awka, thanking party supporters and the entire
Anambra residents for their support.
Bianca, also a former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, said she
was grateful to the good people of the state for their steadfastness and being
resolute towards maintaining Odumegwu’s legacy.
“Soludo’s victory has brought back hope into a political
heritage that was slowly inching towards an eclipse. His victory has given us
the chance to live another day as a party, after almost 16 years of governance
in the state, Anambra people have given us yet another fresh mandate.
“This victory presents our party with another golden
opportunity to prove to the citizens of Anambra that our party’s welfarism
agenda and commitment to the grassroots remains firmly in place.
“And that we are dedicated to correcting the misdeeds of the
past as we usher in a new era of dynamism in governance,” she said.
Bianca stressed that Soludo has proved beyond reasonable
doubt through his records that he was capable of driving the transformation for
Anambra and the entire South East.
She also expressed hope that the governor-elect would
demonstrate a clear commitment towards repositioning APGA by reviving internal
democracy, equity and transparency in the workings of the organs of the party.
“The emergence of Soludo heralds a new dawn for Anambra, I
am appealing to our party members who left in anger to keep an open mind.
“In due course, we hope that they will return and join hands
in the process of rebuilding our party. The storm is over. It is now time for
all to close ranks in solidarity and move our state forward,” she said.
