Ozigbo also mentioned, “I respect zoning, and I might be making a case for a single period of 4 years. Anybody who sees what Alex Otti is doing in Abia State will know that four years is sufficient time to do a number of work.

“I’ll honour that precept of zoning, and I cannot want anybody’s push or prompting to do in any other case. I might be able to do a settlement and do an endeavour that I’ll do only one time period. I additionally want to inform you that Peter Obi has been constant in saying that a southerner who emerges will solely do one time period.

“It’s a settled matter that I intend to run for only one time period. I intend to maintain religion with the settlement.”

However, reacting to the event in a phone interview with our correspondent on Monday, APGA’s spokesman, Tony Olisa-Mbeki, dismissed Ozigbo’s utterances, insisting he has nothing to supply individuals of the state.

Olisa-Mbeki mentioned, “He’s a political stooge. What may he presumably herald? Final I checked, he solely managed Transcorp Resort. Is {that a} qualification to be a governor in Anambra State? Soludo runs inclusive authorities in Anambra; that’s the reason he holds city corridor conferences with totally different sectors. What other method of governance is Ozigbo speaking about?

“Anambra State governance shouldn’t be for learners like Ozigbo. Ozigbo can’t even give a superb lecture; he could be better suited to work as a PA for any governor. Ozigbo’s aspirations within the earlier gubernatorial contest in Anambra discovered him trailing in third place underneath the banner of the PDP, regardless of the staunch endorsement from former APGA governor Peter Obi.

“That alone should inform him that APGA is like an apostle’s creed to Ndi Anambra. Nonetheless, what reforms may Ozigbo suggest? Under Governor Soludo’s management, Anambra State is a testimony to political and socio-economic ingenuity.”
