The
former governor of Anambra State, Dame Virgy Etiaba has extolled the
virtues of the wife of the governor of Anambra State, Chief (Mrs.)
Ebelechukwu Obiano, for steadfastly working in support of her husband
governor Obiano for the good of Anambra State. Dame Etiaba made the
commendation at Anaedo Social Club field during the campaign tour of
Nnewi North LGA on February 2, 2015. The statement of the former
governor was echoed by others at Nnewi South, Ihiala and Ekwusigo Local
governments campaign for candidates of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA) in Anambra state.
The
former governor said that the commitment of the wife of the governor is
well known to all especially the women. According to Dame Etiaba, "
Osodieme lives up to her name because she is working hard like her
husband and is mobilizing the women to do the right thing to ensure that
they cast their votes during the elections. I am surprised that she is
such a good speaker and she picks her words carefully too." Dame Etiaba
urged the women-folk to take note of the important advice Mrs. Obiano
gave them concerning the need to obtain Permanent Voters Card (PVC), and
how to cast their votes for good candidates during the forth-coming
elections.
The
wife of the governor told the women who thronged the Anaedo Hall that
the government of Chief Willie Obiano is committed to the good of all in
the spirit of the APGA philosophy of “Be your brothers and sisters
keeper.” Mrs. Obiano whilst calling for total support for APGA
candidates advised the women “We should discard whatever differences we
may have for the good of our state. Let us pull together as a people
with one destiny, make sure we get our PVC which empowers us to vote and
support APGA candidates in the elections.” Mrs. Obiano also told the
women to vote for President Jonathan because he is the best for peace
and progress in Nigeria, and thanked Mrs. Etiaba for joining the Nnewi
campaign.
At
the St Mary’s Catholic School field, Nnewi South LGA, the Chairman Hon
Ossy Iyiegbu told Mrs. Obiano that the people are witnesses and
beneficiaries of the good works of the governor and her commitment to
the welfare of Anambra women and the less privileged; assuring that her
that her plea to vote APGA candidates is heard with total support. The
total support for APGA candidates was also promised at Ihiala and
Ekwusigo LGA where the Chairman Barr.Jude Mbaegbu thanked Mrs. Obiano
for sparing the time campaign for the return of APGA candidates during
the February 21015 elections.
