For reconstructing dilapidated Nwafor Orizu road leading to Igwe Nnewi’s palace in Nnewi, Anambra State, a community leader from Otolo Nnewi, Chief Francis Chukwuma, has expressed the willingness of Nnewi people to massively vote Governor Obiano for second tenure.

The Nwafor Orizu road was said to have been abandoned for over a long period of time by previous administrations in  the state.

Chief Chukwuma explained that he had approached the former Governor Peter Obi for the road reconstruction who he said complained that Nnewi people did not vote for his second tenure, adding that the community worked against him (Obi) by using Mrs. Virgy Etiaba to replace him as Governor when he was in court over his mandate.

Chukwuma said it did not take much effort for Governor Obiano to approve his request in writing on behalf of his people to do the road. He noted that what the Governor did was to show that he always felt for the people he governed. He also said that street lights enjoyed by Otolo Nnewi people was also a show of concern by the Governor and promised that Nnewi people would vote for Obiano again for him to do more for them.

“Apart from what Governor Obiano has particularly done for us, his agricultural policy has no comparison to the extent that Anambra is now a food exporting State in Nigeria. And many youths are now gainfully employed in the agricultural and other sectors. Investors are coming in droves because of the sure security network the Governor has put in place. How many times have you heard about people being kidnapped or banks robbed again in Anambra? It is an old story.
