Nwosu rules out Obiano’s second term in Anambra

- From Emma Elekwa, Awka

A former minister of Health, Professor Alphonsus B.C. Nwosu, yesterday ruled out the chances of Governor Willie Obiano of the ruling All Progressiv­es Grand Alliance (APGA), in the state of getting a second term in office.

He said Anambra State could not afford to continue “on its costly path of selfinflic­ted isolation from the national grid by belonging to an enclave political party.”

Nwosu spoke in Nnewi, while addressing newsmen after a meeting of Anambra Union, a group comprising of profession­als, retired civil servants, ambassador­s and academics, attended by six aspirants from the APC and PDP.

He said that the next governor of the state must be produced by either of the two opposition parties in the state because of their national outlook.

“Whoever aspires to govern Anambra State that produced the great Zik of Africa, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu and Chinua Achebe among other giants must be accomplish­ed in learning and human management,” he said.
