In a brief ceremony at the INEC Office in Awka, the INEC Commissioner in charge of Anambra, Kogi and Enugu States, Dr. Lawrence Nwurukwu who handed the certificate to the Governor-elect expressed happiness with the peaceful conclusion of the electoral process that has produced the new governor-elect of Anambra State.
Receiving the certificate along with his adorable wife Ebele, the Governor-elect, Chief Willie Obiano explained that he regarded the Certificate as the symbolic call-to-serve.
The Governor-elect further appealed to his political opponents who contested the election with him to join hands with him and build Anambra State. “The days of fighting are over. Work has just started and we need everybody's prayers, assistance and support to be able to deliver on your expectations,” he explained.
According to him; “No one must be left out of our calibrated march to greatness. A state is as great as its people. With the calibre of human capital in Anambra State, we can and should reclaim our position as the light of the Nigerian nation.”
He also thanked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting the most peaceful, free and fair election in the history of the state and commended the President for providing a secure environment for the election that enabled the people to exercise their civic rights.
Consequently, the party chieftain commended the INEC Chairman, Prof. Atahiru Jega for doing an excellent work. “He should not be intimidated by people who lose elections. Democracy is about how the votes of the people decide who wins an election. Anybody who loses should accept the wish of the people. And that's what has happened. Nobody should harass him. One thing Nigerians should give to Jega is his passion and sincerity of purpose to make INEC the best electoral commission in Africa. Nobody can take that away from him. With the type of planning you have done in Anambra State, I am sure, 2015, you will succeed.
Chief Umeh also commended INEC for creating a level playing field for all parties in the country irrespective of size, pointing out that APGA did not feel intimidated in participating in the Anambra poll even with its obvious disadvantage in terms of national spread.
