Obi Charges Stakeholders On Anambra’s Future

Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has urged stakeholders to put the collective interest of the state above other considerations.

Speaking during a breakfast meeting with presidents-general and secretaries of town unions at the Governor’s Lodge, he said the future of the state should not be compromised.

Obi noted that his administration had not only provided physical infrastructure, but had also rebuilt human resources, as well as restored core value principles.

He said more road projects would soon be embarked upon, adding that new roads had opened up the state.

The governor expressed satisfaction that the state is enjoying peace and harmonious co-existence and he thanked the town union executives for their contributions in repositioning the state.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Town Union Affairs, Sir. Godfrey Moutolu, said the Obi administration had accelerated the tempo of work on projects across the state.

President-General of Town Unions, Dr. Innocent Onwubuya, hailed the governor for carrying them along and for giving town unions a stronger presence in governance.

The President-General of Oraukwu and spokesman for ASATU, Prince Emeka Udodeme, said Obi is the first governor to bring the welfare of town unions to the front burner and empower them without interfering in their activities.

A lawmaker representing Ogbaru 1, Sir Benson Nwawulu, said the Obi administration has launched the state on course for a sustainable development.

Speaking to reporters at the Governor’s Lodge, he said under the Obi administration, the state has recorded developments, which is a reference point in the country.

Nwawulu urged his constituents to give Obi and to support the incoming administration of Chief Willie Obiano.
