I think Tony Nwoye is the next Governor of Anambra State. PDP has prioritized the state as they anticipate the loss of the G7. They cannot afford to lose Anambra to the APC through Ngige, nor let an untested weakling like Obiano (APGA) control Anambra ahead of the 2015 elections. Please read:

Jonathan shuns Commonwealth meeting for governorship election

President Goodluck Jonathan (m); Akwa Ibom Governor Godswill Akpabio (r); Anambra PDP Governorship Candidate, Comrade Tony Nwoye (3rd right) at PDP Governorship rally in Onitsha… on Wednesday.

President goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday said he abandoned the 2013 Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Colombo, Sri Lanka to campaign for the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Mr. Tony Nwoye, in the November 16 governorship election in Anambra State.

Jonathan while campaigning in Onitsha said, “I had to cancel my trip to attend the CHOGM to be at this rally,” to underscore the importance he attached to the election and the “need to push Anambra State forward.”

Jonathan apologised for the absence of the Vice-President Namadi Sambo, who could not come because “two of us cannot be at the same place at the same time in case something happens.”

Meanwhile, the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting failed to hold on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

No official reason was given for the cancellation of the meeting where President Goodluck Jonathan, ministers and other presidential aides discuss national issues and award contracts.

Our correspondent however learnt that the meeting was cancelled because of the campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Anambra State, Tony Nwoye, which the President attended in Onitsha.

A few ministers and presidential aides, who did not receive the notice of the cancellation beforehand, were seen rushing into the Council Chambers venue of the meeting ahead of the 10am kick- off time before they were informed of the development.

Who ever advised you to type this should have given you facts and dates on CHOGM 2013. An event with main activities slated to hold from 15-17th Nov and currently been boycotted by some few countries because of "Mans inhumanity to man" in Srilanka.
Btw, I still wonder how much more we stand to gain in this Commonwealth matter, cos the mofos in Britain would have recently enforced a useless visa Bond issue on its member state "Nigeria".
GEJ could easily send a rep also. Chikena.

are we still supposed to be a member of that organization with a colonial agenda? what exactly are the benefits of being part of that scam? abeg another news jare

The original post was focused mainly on how seriously the PDP is taking the Anambra Guber. Boycotting CHOGM was just part of the story, and not the main idea behing the post.
In any case, since you want to talk about CHOGM, only 2 countries are boycotting it, merely of the human reights record of Sri Lanka. What about those attending...including important countries like Australia, the UK, South Africa, etc.

And GEJ is not missing it because its not important. I was in Perth, Australia the last time CHOGM held a few years ago. GEJ was there live with a huge ,naija . CHOGM may have its critiques, but be informed that Naija sees it as important avenue to sell the country and attract foreign investors to our mineral industry, among other things.
So my dear, it is an important establishment, and I expect the GEJ administration to make an important representation.
