Anambra election:
Analysts reveal results of governorship aspirants debate- The recent
debate by aspirants for the Anambra state governorship elections has
generated a lot of buzz
- The discussion was moderated by Channels Television’s Seun Okinbaloye
pitting the five candidates against each other
- The candidates made various promises and presented their various
manifestos
The recent political debate in Anambra by the governorship candidates
had created a huge buzz. Political analysts in the state have released
the results of the recent debate.
The governorship debate was organised on November 12, by two civil
society groups: Enough is Enough Nigeria and the National Democratic
Institute. It was moderated by Channels Television’s Seun Okinbaloye.
The contestants were the incumbent governor and candidate for the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Willie Obiano, Godwin Ezeemo of the
Peoples Progressive Alliance, former aviation minister Osita Chidoka of
the United Peoples Party, federal lawmaker and All Progressives Congress
candidate Tony Nwoye and Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Oseloka
Obaze.
The analysts released the following statement on the Anambra
Broadcasting Service Facebook page:
"In the opening segment, the candidates spoke about the distinctive
elements of their platforms. Obaze, in between proving his local bona
fide by handily pointing out that he had lived in Anambra for years.
"He declared that his administration will end multiple taxation, make
education 26 percent of the state’s annual budget and champion human
development anchored on education, welfare, social security, protecting
life and property and guaranteeing the freedom of movement.
"Nwoye promised to block leakages in government spending while
frittering away a healthy chunk of his allotted 120 seconds blasting the
incumbent of appointing over 700 advisers.
"Ezeemo unveiled his intentions to ensure full employment in an
environment where “70 percent of our graduates are unemployable” and
drive growth in agribusiness while ensuring environmental
sustainability.
"Obiano said he would use a renewed mandate to make his state a first
choice business environment and drive social mobility after touting his
credentials on improving security, employee welfare and his ‘181
projects in 181 communities’ mantra.
"Chidoka outlined his four steps to mapping out a shared vision of
public service and sustainability which would be attained by “applying
knowledge, hard work and morality.” It was a lively opening to what
would be an engaging discourse."
Some of the analysts were of the opinion:
"Obiano, in clear contrast to all the others, has the record of getting
things done and it is unclear that the electorate have an appetite for
changing a clearly humming, functioning engine of growth and good
governance, a week to the ballot box.
"All the other jousters went to significant pains tonight to tarnish his
governing record, with limited success.
"That the focus was less on their plans and more on Obiano’s star was
the unspoken but loudly salient theme of arguably the most politically
illuminating night in Nigeria’s democratic history, at least from an
intellectual standpoint.
"For coming out relatively unspoiled, dignified and armed with a message
to the state that his good work can only be sustained by him, Obiano is
the winner of debate night."
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr Ibrahim Kpotum
Idris, said the withdrawal of the Aide Camp (ADC) to Governor Willie
Obiano of Anambra state was to prevent the re-occurrence of past
experience.
Idris gave the explanation during Election Stakeholders’ Forum organised
by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday,
November 14 in Awka.
There are reports that Obiano had during the forum raised the alarm that
he woke up on Tuesday morning to find that his ADC had been directed by
the Police High Command to vacate him.
