In an unexpected turn of events, the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Wilie Obiano has reconciled with his Predecessor, Chief Peter Obi. It was the burial mass of Late Rev Fr Nicholas Tagbo held at the Assembly ground of the College where Mr Obiano and his predecessor, Obi (Former Anambra Governor now a member of PDP) were once students under the late Rev Father.

The event was well attended by dignitaries including the former governor, former Rivers Governor Peter Odili, former Presidential aspirant, Prof Pat Utomi, the State Chief Judge, Justice Peter Umeadi, former Member that represented Anambra Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Mike Ajegbo among others.



In what could be best described as a surprise to all in attendance, Governor Obiano in the most humble manner apologized to his predecessor for any wrong he may have done him, prompting the former Governor to approach him at the podium and embrace him. Together they knelt down before the altar and the Archbishop, Metropolitan, Ecclesiastical Province of Onitsha, Most Reverend Valerian Okeke who was also a student of the late Padre, prayed for them.

Speaking later, Governor Obiano who noted that the late Father Tagbo had taught them to love and pursue unity with one another, said it is only proper for him to apologize , although he did not know what the challenges were between them.

Governor Obiano stated that the former governor did exceptionally well while his administration lasted and he came on the platform of continuity and is taking Anambra to the next level, adding that he is committed to giving his best in the service of the State as he was taught by the late father Tagbo.

Responding, former governor, Chief Obi who pointed out that what is at stake is beyond him and his successor, said as a christian, he is under obligation to forgive whenever there is cause to. He pledged his total support to the Obiano administration in its efforts to build a better Anambra for the younger generation which he noted, the leaders of today must give account of their stewardship to tomorrow.

In his remarks, the Archbishop, Most Reverend Okeke who said Father Tagbo even in death has remained a bridge builder, thanked the duo for putting aside their differences and uniting to work for the growth of the state, describing them as true Christians.

Other Old Boys who spoke at the event, including Prof Pat Utomi, Dr peter Emetulam and Dr Mike Ejiofor took turns to eulogise the late Father Tagbo as a master moulder of men.

Obiano does not have any reason to apologise to obi it is supposed to be the other way round.. I think its just for the media anyway

A good gesture.

Was surprised when the rumor of their rift spread like wild fire and I was wondering what could ve caused such between these two exceptional igbo men..

Anyway, they re now united to fight off any canker worm that has interest on that seat..

Well done Umu Nwanne anyi.....

This is some nice news to start my day. Now all I need is a bank alert and I'm set. It shall be well,. RIP to Father Tagbo.

That is good. Making Peace is better than conflict.

Nwanne m calm down. Anambra is a model state that plays politics without bitterness. If other Nigerian states plays politics like Anambra does then this country would have gone far politico-economically..

Na today the reconciliation start? The attention seeking Peter obi will not go and rest

Obiano saw himself failing in the next election, so,he has started making friends of people he will need to win.

This is not reconciliation

Speaking later, Governor Obiano who noted that the late Father Tagbo had taught them to love and pursue unity with one another, said it is only proper for him to apologize , although he did not know what the challenges were between them.

The challenge is that peter obi wants to be your godfather.. Keep trying to be politically correct

Inasmuch as I see it as a good gesture for him to apologise,I think Obiano has ulterior motives.Next year's election is a task he needs to accomplish and keeping malice with Obi won't help him at all. Peter show knows how to play underground politics well.....good move though

What manner of hatred is this.....more than 90% of your posts here is on Peter Obi! What did he do to you? This man you have been hating online is busy becoming a better personality and getting more accolades for the work he did. Quit this childish attitude...

There business

Is No longer a news. Politicians deciving us since 1809.

Anambra playing politics without bitterness since 20BC.
Anyi bu ndi Igbo! !!
Igbo amaka!!!!

That's what it should be, but let it not be because of the upcoming governorship election

That's Anambra men for you. One needs to overhear Ngige and Peter Obi's or Andy Uba and Peter Obi's phone calls to confirm how average Anambra men approach issues.

I'm proud to be one.

Igbo Amaka
Ndi igbo kwenu!!!!!!!!!


ONE LOVE

Sort out your Ugulicious differences.
