OBI REASSURES ON PEOPLE-ORIENTED GOVERNMENT

Governor Peter Obi has reassured that his administration will continue to work for the interest of all irrespective of religious and political leanings. Governor Obi was speaking at the Government House Awka while receiving the leadership of Odinala Anedo on a courtesy call.



Governor Obi said his victory in the last election was victory for the people and would be translated to high tempo of infrastructural development and people oriented leadership. He stated that government will continue to encourage the protection and promotion of Igbo cultural values to uphold Igbo identity.



A trustee of the organization, Dr. Dozie Ikedife said the visit was to congratulate the Governor on his victory in the last election. Dr. Ikedife noted that the election was free, fair and credible and has provided a model for the country to learn that politics should not be a do and die affair. He commended the Governor for creating a peaceful and conducive environment that facilitated peaceful conduct of the election in spite of obvious provocations.



In similar development, traders of Eke Awka Market said the re-election of Governor Peter Obi was expression of the collective will of the people and ‘hand of God’ in the State.



Speaking during a solidarity visit to the Government House Awka by Chairman of all the sections in the Market, their spokesman, Mr. Ifeanyi Obiekwe said Obi’s victory would enable him complete his vision for the State. Mr. Obiekwe noted Governor Obi was the first Governor to give traders a sense of belonging while expressing confidence that his second tenure will take the state to the next level.



The traders requested Government assistance in restoring power supply to the market, drainage system around the market, toilet facilities and borehole as well as restoration of democratic rule in the markets.
