Following a surprise visit by the Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano to Rtd. General Muhammadu Buhari, a socio-political pressure group known as Maka Odinma Anambra has cautioned the president-elect to be mindful of the governor’s antics.
The group also enjoined Governor Obiano and other leaders of the South East to stop embarrassing the zone by their careless and shameless attempt to jump onto the Buhari victory train, which they naively refused to board only few weeks earlier.

Irritated by last Friday’s visit by Governor Obiano to president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, wherein he pledged to give General Buhari the same 100% support which he gave to President Goodluck Jonathan, the group wondered whether it was the same man who throughout the electioneering period urged his party members not to vote for a ” Jihadist” and a party belonging to the Hausa/Yoruba ethnic nationalities, PM news reports.
“It is either Governor Obiano’s mathematics does not add up, or in a desperation to display unbridled loyalty, he mixed up the figures. Pray, if he pledges to give the General the same 100 percent support which he said he gave to President Jonathan before, during and after the general election, then it goes without question that he obviously gave General Buhari zero support during the election that won him victory”, the group said in a statement signed by its Secretary, Emeka Nwazue.
“For a man who openly said before the election that any Igbo who vote for APC is a bastard and an enemy of Biafra, and who also used machinery of his government to suppress the interests of General Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in both the Presidential, National and State Assembly elections barely one month ago, to seek to benefit from his perfidy clearly fore-grounds the new abyss into which leadership appear to be sinking in the South East geo-political zone, especially Anambra”, the socio-political organization said.
According to the group, while it was alright for Governor Obiano to pay a courtesy visit to president-elect Buhari, there is everything wrong in attempting to foist on himself the leadership of the Igbo race.
“As a mather of fact, we urge Gov. Obiano to remain in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), which he steadily decimates with each passing day, instead of seeking to pollute current attempts at strengthening the APC in the South east geo-political zone,” Maka Odinma Amambra stated.
The warning from Maka Odinma Anambra comes hours after Governor Willie Obiano, said that President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari has the full backing of Anambra state and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
