Had Anambra State not been a regular political flashpoint, the question of what determines its next governor would have sounded misplaced at this time, especially this early.
One of such indicators, Sunday Vanguard is being made to understand, is zoning which has been a recurring issue since 1999. It was even a major issue during the first coming of Obiano, when ex-governor Obi ensured that Anambra North produced a governor in line with what he recently described as the spirit of equity.
Therefore, realistically, the PDP has produced governorship candidates predominantly from Anmabra South and Anambra North. Whereas Mbadinuju of the set of 1999 is from Anambra South, both Dr. Uba and Professor Chukwuma Soludo, the party’s candidates in 2007 and 2010, are from Anambra South. Tony Nwoye and Oselloka Obaze, are both from Anambra North.
The Southern Senatorial District had been represented by Mbadinuju, who was the second executive governor of the state after Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife who hails from Igbo Ukwu.With this denoting that the North, South and Central have all governed the state, those championing a new paradigm want the state to commence an era where the governor could come from anywhere as long as the person is qualified and competent.
In fact, it is for this reason that some individuals are insisting that Anambra State having been sufficiently ridiculed enough in the estimation of other Igbos, and by larger implications, Nigerians, the time is now ripe to ensure that the best, competent and credible candidate is presented before the electorate. That individual would be expected to pilot the affairs of the state in such a manner as to harness the potentials that have remained latent.
vanguardngr Soludo should be the next governor of Anambra State if Anambarians are reasoning well
