Chuks Iloegbunam, former Anambra chief of staff, says Peter
Obi’s record as governor of the state shows he is the most competent to rule
the country.
Obi, the flag bearer of the Labour Party (LP), was a
two-term governor of Anambra.
Speaking in an interview with TheCable, Iloegbunam said Obi
tackled crime and insecurity, while he developed the economy of the state
without “borrowing a single naira”.
“I would without equivocation state and reiterate that Mr
Peter Obi is the best presidential candidate on offer today,” Iloegbunam said.
“Peter Obi combated crime and violence head-on with the
result that, at the end of his eight-year, two-term tenure in 2014, Abubakar
Mohammed, the then inspector-general of police, pronounced Anambra state under
Mr. Obi’s watch the safest in the country in the previous five years.
“Peter Obi didn’t borrow a single naira in the name of
Anambra state. Rather, he left billions in the state coffers for his successor
in office to build his own legacy on. Peter Obi is unlike another of these
presidential candidates who condemned the lynching of Deborah Yakubu on his
Twitter and Instagram handles at 12 noon and yanked it off 60 seconds later, a
so-called “unifier” who has not condemned the collapse of security under
Buhari’s comatose administration.”
Iloegbunam said the rallies organised in support of the LP
presidential candidate across the country are a testament to the people’s trust
in him to restore peace and unity in the nation.
“No other Nigerian politician has occasioned the sort of
“youthquake” now happening in this country,” he said.
“No other politician has effectively brought Nigerians
together under the objective of peace, plenty, progress and purpose, without
any bother about state of origin, ethnic origin, educational background or religious
affiliation. Peter Obi is of today.
“The politics of yesterday is behind us. The people of this
country rooting for his presidency, not just the young, are determined to have
a fresh start, a new beginning, a fresh era of meaningful existence for
everyone.”
Iloegbunam, who recently published a book on the life and
achievements of Obi as a governor, said Nigerians need to be more aware to make
“informed choices in choosing their political leaders” in the 2023 polls.
