The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Presidential Campaign Organization in Anambra State has slammed Governor
Willie Obiano for protesting the decision of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to support the
party’s presidential ticket.
It said the protest was only
personal to the governor.
The campaign organisation also
said the governor should not be perceived as representing the opinion of the
people of Anambra.
Speaking to newsmen in Awka, the
state chairman of the organization, Dr Harry Oranezi, stated: “it’s unthinkable
and suicidal for any Igbo leader to divorce himself from the only body that’s
protects the socio-political interest of ndi-Igbo in Nigeria.
“However, everyone is entitled to
his freedom of expression and association, governor Willie obiano with his
palace jester’s decision to go against Ohaneze confirms their original interest
to work against the interest of Ndi igbo.”
Dr Oranaezi hailed the courage of
the leadership of Ohanaeze not to sit on the fence in a matter that concerns
the interest of evey Igbo man in the world.
He described the position of
Ohanaeze as a “courageous decision, which reflects the opinion of all well-meaning
Igbo’s and Nigerians at large.”
According to him, “Governor
Willie Obiano is not being truthful to himself and has forgotten that his
personal interest should not overshadow the collective interest of the people.
He should see through the selfishness of siding injustice and tyranny. He has
made his choice, but the entire ndi Igbo will move on without him.”
Dr Oranezi maintained that the
good people of Anambra State will forever be a part of evey decision that would
better the condition of people from South East Geo-political zone, and every
Anambra man and woman are in solidarity with Chief Nnia Nwodo and the
leadership Ohaneze Ndigbo.
