The traditional ruler of Awka,
Obi Gibson Nwosu yesterday
told the governorship candidate
of the All Progressives Grand
Alliance, APGA, Chief Willy
Obiano that he may soon
become number citizen in his
domain, adding that the eye
knows a ripe corn.
The Awka monarch spoke when
Obiano paid him a courtesy
visit as part of activities to flag
off his campaign.
Obi Nwosu said though
traditional rulers are not
supposed to participate in
politics they however have eyes
and can tell if whether a person
will be good or bad if given the
mandate.
Paying homage to the royal
father, Obiano recalled how Obi
Nwosu, in 2008 at Aguleri,
prophesized that he was going
to be governor of
AnambraState.
He said: “At the time Eze Uzu
made that remark, I was not
even into politics as I was busy
with my work at Fidelity Bank.
When I visited him earlier this
year, he repeated the statement
and I want to assure him that I
will not disappoint the people of
Awka when I become the
governor of AnambraState.”
Ebube foundation denies
endorsing Ubah
A Non Governmental
Organization, NGO, Ebube
Foundation, has denied
collapsing its structure and
endorsing the governorship
ambition of Patrick Ifeanyi
Ubah, the Labour Party
candidate for the Anambra
governorship election.
Reacting to a report that the
Foundation has collapsed its
structure and declared for
Ifeanyi Ubah, an official of the
Foundation, Mrs. Amaka
Obimdike said that such
insinuation is the handiwork of
mischief makers since there is
no iota of truth in the
publication.
The release noted that Ebube
Foundation is not a political
structure and will not dabble
into political gerrymandering. It
said that though the Foundation
was founded by Mr. John
Chuma Nwosu, a former
governorship aspirant under the
platform of All Progressives
Grand Alliance, he never used
the Foundation for political
gains.
