Obi expresses shock over thuggery at Nnewi

By Valentine Amanze, Online Editor

The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has expressed shock and disbelief over the disruption of the programme of Mr. Valentine Ozigbo at Nnewi.

In a statement issued by his Media Aide, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, the former governor said that what Anambra people expected to hear at this time was the programmes of those seeking various elective positions had  for them and workable strategies they had in place for the effective implementation of such programmes in the overall interest of the state.

Describing what happened at Nnewi as  “shameful” and a “throwback to superseded ways”,  Obi said that politics all over the world had passed the stage of thuggery to a stage where those seeking power were expected to behave like statesman and women who have the interest and progress of the state at heart, rather than the crude mentality of acquiring power by all means and thereafter becoming confused on what to do with the power so acquired. It would be recalled that some hoodlums destroyed some materials meant to be used by Mr. Valentine Ozigbo for his “Walk for Life”, programme in Nnewi last Saturday.
