Anambra polls, I don’t have any godfather, Ozigbo declares

By Ifeanyi Ndukwe

As the momentum gathers in regards to the anticipated Anambra governorship elections in November 6th election, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer, Mr. Valentine Ozigbo has stated categorically that he does not have any godfather.

Ozigbo made this known on Monday during an interactive session with media practitioners at East End hotels, Awka where he noted that as a matter of fact that he is an independent minded person who does not believe in godfatherism. “Not even Mr Peter Obi, Tony Elumelu or any other individuals as alleged is my sponsor".

The former banker said that the leadership of the PDP can make suggestions to him about issues but the decisions he makes are totally based on standards and merit.

He also dismissed the claim by rumour mongers that his running mate, Mrs Azuka Enemo was imposed on him by an unnamed godfather.

“I decided to run along with Mrs Azuka Enemo because of her huge integrity and large support base. Nobody imposed her on me. The fact that I ran an election primary for two years in the state should have given me an idea of who my deputy would be though I didn’t decide on that even after the party primary.

“I am not one of those people who go to politicians to make empty promises, infact I was in the plane coincidentally with the former governor, Mr Peter Obi and I told him how I would engage the leadership of Anglican Communion to get my deputy.

“I turned down the first list of the people they sent to me not because the individuals sent to me are not good but there are certain criteria I insisted must be met.” he reiterated.

He said that he has to be thorough about the choice of his running mate because his deputy must be someone he has full confidence in.

Ozigbo came tops in PDP primaries defeating Uche Ekwunife and Obiora Okonkwo in a tightly-contested party elections.
Recently, the party made senator Ekwunife the DG for his campaign at a recently held meeting in Abuja.

God wipe that your mouth.
Useless politicians using "God" to deceive fools
