It was carnival-like arena yesterday at Amansea, the sleepy boundary town
between Anambra and Enugu state when Comrade Tony Nwoye, the gubernatorial
candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming election
made triumphant entry into the state. The crowd who came out en-masse to
welcome the man of the moment was such that has never been witnessed in
the state in recent times and can only be second to the crowd during the
burial of late Igbo eternal leader Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
Vehicular movement was obstructed along the ever busy Enugu ? Onitsha
Express way and the attendant trafic hold-up stretches throughout the Awka
capital city and its environs..
After managing his way through the crowd, at about?2pm, Tony Nwoye mounted
the stage with his running mate Dr Amanchukwu Ezike and Ken Emeakayi, the
state PDP leader, he told the surging crowd that he has decided to
sacrifice his time and resources in order to offer the kind of leadership
Ndi-Anambra need for a positive development of our state.? He said that
its time to give governance back to the people (grassroots) and that the
time of deceits which had been the hallmark of governance in the last 8
years of APGA led government in the State. His speech was often
interrupted by the crowd who rent the air with ?we want Tony Nwoye?
In his speech, the Anambra state PDP leader said that Anambra state is a
traditional PDP state and that they should not fail to take back their
rightful place in the governance of the state. He enjoined them to eschew
bitterness and all forms of political infighting which could be
detrimental to the victory of the party in the forthcoming election.
Continuing , he noted that families do have challenges, and PDP as a
family may sometimes have little differences which can be always resolved
internaly before the elecion
