The Old Aguata Union, OAU, an umbrella body representing the three local government areas in Aguata and Orumba, has urged the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Governorship Candidate, Mr. Val Ozigbo, not to challenge in court the result of Professor Chukwuma Soludo’s (APGA) governorship election in Anambra State.
Professor Soludo (APGA), Val Ozigbo (PDP), and Senator Andy Uba (APC), the three prominent contenders in the election, are all from Old Aguata. Soludo has already received a note from Ozigbo congratulating him on his victory.
“On behalf of the entire Old Aguata Union OAU, we commend and appreciate you on your very strong showing in the Anambra State governorship elections conducted recently,” said a letter to Ozigbo signed by OAU’s National President, Professor Ifeanacho Orajaka, and National Secretary, Sir Uche Chiadi.
“You did your best, but the outcome is in favor of your brother. Therefore you are also a winner.
“We are confident that the temporary setback should not deter you from your excellent dreams for Anambra State and OAU in particular.
“We want to use this opportunity to appeal to your good self not to challenge the outcome of this election in Court/Tribunal in the spirit of OAU brotherhood and to proceed to congratulate your victorious brother Prof. CC Soludo and join him to make Anambra State a liveable and prosperous state.”
The Candidate of Zenith Labour Party, ZLP, Dr. Obiora Okonkwo, has congratulated Professor Soludo, saying he had already submitted to the superior will of Almighty God.
Okonkwo’s letter read: “I heartily congratulate you on your victory in the just concluded Anambra governorship election held on November 6, 2021.
“From our side, we submit to the superior will of the Almighty God because, like I always say, God gives power to whom He wills.
“As you know, I went into the governorship not to satisfy any personal want or make up for any deprivation. My interest was for the greater good of the Anambra people, who are disappointed with the failure of government and the dearth of infrastructure over the years.
“It is my view that our state deserves much more than it has had in governance and resource management
“Our people have for long, been deprived the sweet benefits of purposeful leadership. They suffer the consequences of mismanagement of their commonwealth and as such, they look forward to a redemptive visionary.”
