His
Excellency, Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state and his All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to me made a mistake by inaugurating
the Governor’s re-election campaign team led by Chief Sir Victor Umeh.
He would have waited a little after the APGA primary. Most of the people
in the bunch aren’t supposed to be there. A story for another day
though.
But Oseloka Obaze, known as OHO is set
to take over Anambra state in November this year. His swag is already
pontificating in that direction. He is a well-traveled diplomat par
excellence with all the pedigrees of a good leader. He has served under
three presidents including President Shagari, General Buhari and
President Babangida. His credential is to say the least intimidating and
best described as the only credible leadership alternative for Anambra
State this time. Though, he has a contender in Mr Godwin Chukwunenye
Ezeemo of the PPA.
Obaze, an astute leader,
visionary, technocrat, good governance and policy expert and a tested
public administrator of high integrity, focus, humility and diligence is
Anambra’s best choice for 2017! He won’t be an accidental leader!!
Watching
him speak extempore at the WADATA Plaza of the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) office with members of National Caretaker Committee led by
Senator Ahmed Makarfi admiring him talking about the new narratives in
Anambra PDP and his resolve to not only add value but to take on the
gauntlet of aggressively unifying the party members and campaigning
vigorously to win the 2017 Governorship election.
Obaze, a writer, poet and policy analyst has authored two books, “Regarscent
Past:
A Collection of Poems” (2015), Here To Serve (2016). He even has Prime
Witness: Change and Policy Challenges in Buhari’s Nigeria (2017).
Let
me not dwell on Obaze’s history and exploits as International Civil
Servant with Distinction but his 21 years as a Political Affairs Officer
in the Department of Political and Security Council Affairs (PSCA) at
the United Nations Headquarters in New York was outstanding.
Obaze
who has resolved that women would play critical role in his
administration if elected for good governance was categorical about her
mother: "I'm a product of a woman's tutelage. So if people consider that
I'm good, it is because of the woman who raised me."
He said his government, if elected come November 18, will have a 60/40 gender parity ratio.
Obaze
wants to govern for 4 years and clear the ‘mess’ his brother Obiano has
done with governance and on that he predicated five (5) principles
including Authentic Continuity, which is Provide authentic continuity
and consolidation of all gains. He has fifteen (15) core areas
encompassing activities and deliverables in tandem with UN Sustainable
Developments Goals (SDGs). Can he deliver and clear his brother’s mess?
Obaze’s
wife, Dr. Ofunne Obaze, a consultant paediatrician is counting on the
strength of women and youths not excluding men to actualize her
husband’s dream. Obaze’s team is almost everywhere now subtly selling
himself further. With PDP zoning its candidate Anambra North, Obaze sure
is the luckiest Aspirant in PDP coasting home victorious, though not
yet Uhuru.
