The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last general election, Mr. Peter Obi, has clarified his speech during the campaign for the emergence of the PDP Candidate, Mr. Val Ozigbo, as the in-coming Governor of Anambra State.
The release from his Media Office signed by Mr. Valentine Obienyem, says that Obi, known for issue-based campaign in his speech at Aguata, Orumba North and South, and few other places, on Tuesday and Wednesday, pointed out numerous projects he did across the State, from roads through schools to security, and appealed to the people of these areas to vote for Mr. Ozigbo for possessing the capacity and youthful age to deliver. He also said that whilst the other two contestant have had opportunity to help their people and did nothing, that Ozigbo would be the clear difference.
The release further said that expatiating further on the issue of age, Obi said that the two out of three major contestants were over 60 years, while Mr. Val Ozigbo is 50. He, therefore, concluded that Val possessed the ideal age for governorship at sub-national level, which he put between 40 and 60.
