At a time when Igbo are agitated over the zoning arrangement of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has revealed what President Goodluck Jonathan promised to do for the South East geopolitical zone, which caused leaders of the zone to support his presidential aspiration.
Obi said that he and other Igbo leaders supported the president because he promised to fix South East roads, build second Niger Bridge and give the Igbo their due share in the country, among others. He said that any time Jonathan fails on these promises he would speak out.
The governor said that South East members of the PDP should explain to Igbo what went wrong in the sharing of offices, as announced by the party.
Despite the fact that your party, APGA won about 60 per cent of the state House of Assembly seats and about 60 per cent of the House of Representatives, you are being assessed on what happened at the senatorial election, where APGA lost all seats. The impression is that you were routed in Anambra State.
How do you react to that?
If you had followed the 2007 elections, you will notice that immediately after the elections I did a statewide broadcast. This year, I decided not to do that. This year’s election is an improvement of what it used to be. We have seen improvement. What happened in the National Assembly elections was not the true reflection of the wishes of the people, but I don’t want to say much because some of them are subject of litigation. The last two elections were more of the wishes of the people. The presidential election showed the wish of the people here. Anybody could raise an argument, but I can tell you that the result was the reflection of the wishes of the people. The House of Assembly also showed the wishes of the people. Do you know that all the senatorial candidates said to have won lost their local government areas? Some lost in their towns.
How do you win election when you lost your hometown and local government area?
The main problem is INEC applied simple majority in the National Assembly election. If it were like presidential or governorship election where you must win certain percentage across the senatorial zone, the result will be different. If you take the Anambra North, the two areas you will not lose are Onitsha South and Ogbaru. These are where you have largest concentration of people. In the senatorial zone, out of the 10 constituencies we won about six. The party declared winner in the senatorial election, got only two, while other parties won two. In the central senatorial zone, there are 10 House of Assembly constituencies. The winner of the senatorial seat again won two out of 10. We won six and other parties won the rest. In the South senatorial district, there are 10 House of Assembly constituencies. We won six. Other parties won two and the winner won only two. In each of them, they lost the two biggest local governments within the zone.
