Anambra State governor, Chief
Willie Obiano has insisted that there was no truth in the recent rumour that he
intended to fly the flag of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in the
2019 presidential election.
The governor in a Christmas
message signed on his behalf by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr James
Eze dispelled the speculations.
He said, “I dismiss them as a
mere political stargazing which has no bearing on the facts on the ground.”
The governor urged the people of
the state to seize the opportunity of the Christmas to touch the lives of their
neighbour positively with love as they commemorate the birth of Christ.
Obiano described Christmas as the
season of love when Christians are expected to rise above all inhibitions to
show love to their neighbours.
“Christmas underscores the
salvific role of Christ to mankind and reminds us all of the centrality of
sacrificial love to a more peaceful and harmonious world. So, in the birth of
Jesus Christ, we Christians are reminded that love is the first condition for a
better world.”
Speaking further, Governor Obiano
observed that Nigeria was in a period of time when only sacrificial love can
heal the deep-seated wounds and harrowing agonies that harangue the people on a
daily basis.
“We need to be kind to one
another, encourage one another and support one another. Nigeria is at a time
when we must all come together to seal the cracks between us with love and the
celebration of Christmas gives us a perfect opportunity to do just that,” he
further advised.
He assured the people of the
state of his commitment to ensure that he surpasses his first term performance
during his second term.
Obiano thanked them for voting
him overwhelming in the just concluded governorship election.
