You focused solely on issues of governance as it affects Anambra State. You have also shown a great spirit of sportsmanship by congratulating the winner of the election immediately the results were announced, a rare attribute of the political class. Indeed, you have shown that you are a breath of fresh air in Nigeria’s political firmament and you should be celebrated for no one lights a candle and places it under a table”. They added.
