Obosi Community Went Agog As Ngige Visit. Thousands Of Traders Close Shop by Nobody: 2:52pm On Oct 20, 2013
OBOSI STAND STILL FOR NGIGE,THOUSANDS OF
TRADERS CLOSE SHOP AS NGIGE VISIT OBOSI.
NGIGE MASSIVELY ENDORSE BY THE PEOPLE OF
OBOSI
"The people of Obosi yesterday turned the
arrival of Senator Dr Chris Nwabueze
Ngige ,gubernatorial candidate of the APC
into a massive carnival - that nears the
attendance of the APC flag-off rally, ten
days ago on October 8,2013.
Ngige’s campaign train arrived Obosi on
the invitation of His Royal Majesty Eze
Chidubem Iweka III, Igwe Obosi for
new yam festival. The Igwe Obosi, the
hometown of Chief Emeka
Anyaoku celebrated its New Yam festival
yesterday.
Ngige’s campaign train arrival into Obosi
caused an immediate uproar. According
to eyewitness account, upon sighting
Ngige, markets were said to close
spontaneously, including the Afo Adike
Market. Traders – both old and young
flocked towards the Ngige campaign
train. He was the man they described as a
hero.
Within minutes of his arrival, the
eruptions in the crowd
became unbearably loud. Amidst the
loud chants of Onwa, Ngige managed
to reaffirm his proposal to affect free
education throughout Anambra
State. The Senator and former governor
also spoke on health. He promised to
refurbish the health facilities in the state.
He lamented that Amaku General Hospital
which has been trumpeted as
refurbished and accredited
disappointingly does not have alternative
source of electric power, which is a story
that should not emanate from Anambra
State. Ngige said “my administration will
guarantee free medical care to ante-
natal mothers and children between the
ages of 0years and 5years because
Anambra State has enough money to
offer these service ,if only those in the
saddle will be sincere“.
He urged Obosi people to vote decisively
for him to silence those working hard to
secure a third term in office, while
leaving the state undeveloped. Insisting
that ‘Anambra State has grown beyond a
state that can be rules by proxy’
Also adding his voice was the
Commissioner for Justice in the Old
Anambra State under Gov. Jim Nwobodo.
He spoke through his Uncle Mr. Rob
Iweka. In his words ‘from 1993 to date
there have been only two functional
government in Anambra State and the
government of Dr. Chris Ngige was the
more functional one because it opened
peoples eyes to the fact that Anambra
State has enough money and it could be
well –utilized’
Iweka said ‘So if such a memorable
tenure in office was sort-lived and now
the people have an opportunity to re-
enact it, the Obosi community will not
only not stand in the way of such
laudable project ,but will be at the fore-
front of its realization”.
Apparently referring to some politicians
who recently claimed that the Igwe of
Obosi recently endorsed a candidate, the
ex- Attorney General seized the moment
to ask politicians to play the game
according to the rules and to also place
events in proportion in order not to
bring traditional stool to disrepute.
He thanked Ngige for making time out to
attend their occasion in person and
promised that the gesture as enabled the
town to appreciate that blood is thicker
than water. He also thanked Governor
Peter Obi in absentia ,the governor
having left as Ngige struggled in through
the crowd.
Genealogically, Alor, Ngiges’s hometown,
Ojoto and Obosi are brothers.
Ngige expressed satisfaction with the
show of emotion by the mammoth
gathering, noting: ‘This scene we have
witnessed here is what makes me want
to work harder to realize my 12-point
agenda, which has been widely
distributed in our manifesto’.
But the climax came when Ngige
struggled for nearly two hours to depart
from the town as virtually everybody on
the massive crowd tried to touch him
and to personally assure him of support.
The occasion was also attended the Igwe
of Nnewi ,Igwe Kenneth Orizu and scores
of dignitaries from all works of life.
