Obiano endorses Jonathan for 2015

Governor Obiano, who spoke during a ceremony tagged ‘a nite with Innoson and friends of Mr. President’, said he was a beneficiary of Dr. Jonathan’s transformation agenda.

The event was convened by an industrialist, Chief Inno­cent Chukwuma, to formally launch President Jonathan’s scorecard by a political cam­paign group, Goodluck Sup­port Group (GSP). Speaking through his Special Assis­tant, Jeo-Martins Uzodike, the Anambra State governor, noted: “I want to first say that I’m not surprised over the in­vitation to be part of this cer­emony because the convener, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, is the first among equals in our state.

“He is a very worthy am­bassador, who has kept the flag of Anambra State flying. We are happy that he has put himself among the firsts in Anambra State and that was why I, as governor must be here to stand by him. The shoes I’m wearing belong to Chief Peter Obi, who is adjudged as the greatest sup­porter of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“More importantly, I stand today as the greatest ben­eficiary of the transformation agenda of President Jonathan. Recall that if not for the free and fair election and his one man, one vote, I would not be governor today. I’m governor because the people of Anam­bra State were given the op­portunity to vote for a person of their choice. I’m one of the greatest beneficiaries of such measure, which was a night­mare in the recent past.

“Finally, without belabour­ing it, I want to state that the theme of our campaign in Anambra State is continu­ity. Since we are continuing with the infrastructure Gov­ernor Peter Obi put in place in Anambra, I make bold to say that we want to swim and sink with what he also left politically.

“We are going to continue with the support of President Goodluck Jonathan.”
