- Nwobu-Alor said Obiano is finding it difficult to perform his duty and he has no good advisers

- He, however, declared his support for Oseloka Obaze, the People Democracy Party (PDP) chieftain

Chief Sylvester Nwobu-Alor, the founding member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance Party, has declared support for Oseloka Obaze, the People Democracy Party candidate for the Anambra election.

Daily Sun reports that Nwobu-Alor said he withdrew his support for Willie Obiano, the state governor, because he is finding it difficult to perform and that he has no good advisers.

According to him, ''Forget about money that is being carried around, forget about threats and all that; people will vote based on their convictions and will definitely go for a person who has been empowered to deliver, who has the commitment and integrity to deliver.

“And that person is Oseloka Obaze. He is very well introduced; he is a calm, collected, intelligent and committed person. With him on seat, we can turn Anambra state around. That is my stand on this issue.

“I believe in objectivity and sincerity of purpose. If in my house, my wife misbehaves, yes, it is my duty to protect her but if she is doing a wrong thing, I will criticise her, correct her and possibly force her to do the right thing. That is what I am doing. The issue of being a member becomes irrelevant.

“If you are a member and your association is peddling backwards instead of forward and you keep quiet, you are aiding and abetting destruction because you know it is moving towards destruction. I cannot sit down and watch the government now, because the party is already gone.

“But if the government wakes up any time and start performing then we might change our mind. As I am talking to you I don’t have any confidence again in the government. They have not done much to warrant a second chance.”

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that Nollywood actor and governorship candidate of the Democratic People's Congress (DPC) Yul Edochie unveiled his running mate in the election

Edochie, who is also the son of veteran actor Pete Edochie, chose a Staffordshire University of England-trained Mechatronics Engineer Emeka Okonkwo to contest with him.
