Governor Peter Obi of Anambra
State has urged Roman Catholics in
the state to sustain the grip of their
control on the politics of the state by
ensuring that the next governor of
the state remained a Catholic.
Speaking on Friday on behalf of the
governor at the inauguration of the
Widows and Less Privileged
Members Foundation at the Holy
Trinity Basilica, Onitsha, the
Commissioner for Works, Mr.
Callistus Ilozumba, said Roman
Catholics must use the November
16 governorship election in the state
to make a point that the church had
come to be relevant in the politics of
the state.
He recalled that the late Catholic
Archbishop of Onitsha, the Most
Rev. Albert Obiefuna, had
championed the involvement of
knights of the church to take charge
of the politics of the state, saying
that the effort paid off when Obi
was elected governor in 2003.
He said the first beneficiary of that
effort would have been Prof.
Alphonsus Nwosu, who was
dropped as the governorship
candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party for Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju in
1998.
He said that it was after that the late
archbishop advised on the need to
have an alternative platform, and
that came with the formation of
APGA.
He said it was not an accident that
the first national chairman of the
party, Chief Chekwas Okorie, Obi,
the current national chairman, Chief
Victor Umeh, and others are
Catholics.
Ilozumba recalled that when Obi
joined the race in 2003, both Knights
of St. John, St. Mulumba and the
Laity Council teamed up to support
him in the election which he won.
He reminded knights of St. John
International that they had the
capacity to change the situation in
the state as predicted by Obiefuna.
