IGWE NNAEMEKA ACHEBE(OBI OF ONITSHA)
SNOBBED WILLY OBIANO REFUSED TO SEE HIM
Yesterday, the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe
Nnaemeka Achebe snobbed the
governorship candidate of the All
Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA for the
November 16, 2013, Chief Willie Obiano
confirming speculations that the royal
father has not given his blessing to
Obiano as the candidate of Anambra
North where APGA zoned its governorship
candidate.
The APGA candidate who had a scheduled
appointment with the highly revered
Onitsha monarch could not hide his
disappointment yesterday as the royal
father diplomatically refused to see him,
but sent a palace official to receive him.
The sour relationship between Igwe
Achebe and Governor Peter Obi who
personally handpicked Obiano came to
light last month when the royal father
threw in the towel as the Chairman of
Anambra State Council of Traditional
Rulers, explaining that he had other
assignments to attend to.
It was gathered that Igwe Achebe like
other traditional rulers in Anambra North
Senatorial District are slighted that after
undergoing a rigorous search to pick
Chief Chike Obidigbo as the consensus
candidate of Anambra North, Gov. Obi
somersaulted on his earlier promise and
personally handpicked Obiano who he
foisted on the party barely two weeks to
close of entries of governorship
candidates by the parties.
It would be recalled that Gov. Obi
promised the people of Anambra North
that he would be succeded by a candidate
from the zone.
The zone through a group
the Olu Na Adagbe chaired by Chief
Shedrack Anakwue and an 18-man
committee set up by Gov. Obi with Prof.
Sylvester Anika and Felix Ekulide
respectively as chairman and secretary
worked together to select and screen 14
aspirants across party lines and Chief
Obidigbo was chosen as the consensus
candidate.
After the Committee’s recommendation,
another committee of Igwes from
Anambra North, including Igwe Achebe
ands Presidents-Gene ral of Town Unions
in Anambra North, equally confirmed Chief
Obidigbo.
A source close to the monarch revealed
that the Onitsha monarchs and other
royal fathers are disturbed that after such
a rigorous search for a credible, Gov. Obi
betrayed them and rubbished the entire
process by foisting his business partner
on the party.

.

Now that Obi has sown wind(discord), he will reap whirlwind. He introduced a non-existing zoning to Anambra polity. History will judge Obi as a man who can play any form of dirty politics to achieve his selfish aim.

Since when did Obi of Onitsha become this relevant.
He is no Oba or Emir, he is Obi of Onitha (Ogbe) and thats all.

He is just a product of one of Obi's propagandas.
Igbos are the only ethnic group who had never rallied around a center of authority.
We have always been liberal and democratic.

I don't think the Igwe himself wil be happy to be used as a political tool.

thankgod, can we place a bet that obiano will win ngige in onitsha? i'm dead serious for biz, no jokes

ACM10: Now that Obi has sown wind(discord), he will reap whirlwind. He introduced a non-existing zoning to Anambra polity. History will judge Obi as a man who can play any form of dirty politics to achieve his selfish aim.

ngige first started it when he decided to concentrate on anambra central at the expense of other zones during his tenure. airport was moved to oba and the state university was also moved to alor. till today, i'm yet to see what ngige did for the people of anambra south where i come from
