Anambra Guber Results: APGA Thanks Jonathan; Obiano Grateful to Gov. Obi

The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) thanked President Goodluck Jonathan for the ‘credible’ election state and assured him of their support for 2015, while Governor-elect of Anambra state, Willie Obiano, has ascribed his victory in the just-concluded elections to the hard work of Gov. Peter Obi.

 

 

 

The governor-elect said this while reacting to his victory, which was announced by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) in Awka on December 1, 2013, Sunday.

“Governor Obi’s good work actually led us to victory and I must commend him for his exemplary show of support,” Willie Obiano said.

He further commended the people of the state, the Chairman of the party, Victor Umeh, other party stalwarts and the security agencies for their commitment to their duties during the conduct of the election.

“I am assuring the people of Anambra that I will continue with the great strides of Obi in moving the state forward,” Obiano pledged.

The outgoing Gov. Obi expressed gratitude to President Jonathan for remaining committed to democracy, fair play, free and credible election in the state.

“For us in APGA, we have every reason to show appreciation to President Jonathan because this is the second time after 2010 that he is ensuring credible polls.

“He is our presidential candidate and we will continue to give him support,” Mr. Obi said.

The declaration of Mr. Obiano as winner of the polls followed the completion of the supplementary election in the state on Saturday in areas where election did not hold on November 16.

The APC, Labour Party, and the candidate of the PDP, boycotted the supplementary election and demanded a total cancellation of the November 16 election, citing disenfranchisement of voters and late delivery of electoral materials, among others.

The PDP headquarters, however, said the November 16 election was free and fair; which led to the APC accusing the ruling party of abandoning its candidate and working for APGA in the election.
