“’I’m 89 and will be celebrating my 90th Birthday on June 16. I want you to celebrate it with me as governor. ‘You’re a good man. Your relationship with elders like me while you served under Peter Obi as SSG is enough proof that you have all ingredients of good leadership.

Amaechi stressed that it was high time Anambra State reconnect to national political grid, noting that there were only two parties in Nigeria (APC, PDP) that had national outlook. Stressing that Anambra had been an outsider of the two parties for too long, Amaechi said, “Even though Peter Obi managed that handicap that our state didn’t actually feel left out of main trust of events, what we have now as government is truly leaving us far behind.” Responding, Obaze thanked the octogenarian for his kind words and support, assuring him that their administration in the state would not disappoint him.
