As Anambra gubernatorial election draws with political forces aligning and realigning in the state, the Governor of Anambra State Willie Obiano has said he does not know he offended his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi although he had to unavoidably apologised to him for the role he played in his election as governor of the state.
He stated this in an interview. While fielding questions, the governor appreciated in no small measure the role the former governor played to ensure his victory in the governorship election that brought him into power.
Willie Obiano said there has, a matter of fact, been a little break in communication between him and his predecessor which he said he regrets.
According to him, ''There has been a little communication gap between us, which I regret. He and I attended the same high school, and I felt that the burial of our fantastic school principal, Rev Fr. Nicholas Tagbo, should be an occasion for full reconciliation and bridging of communication gap. Though I still do not know how I offended him, I apologised to him in public and before a large crowd. I respect him as my predecessor and he is the person who got me involved in politics and he campaigned strongly for my election.''
Speaking further on the apology he publicly tendered to ex-Governor Peter Obi, he said the apology has nothing to do with his re-election bid adding that he did it in the interest of peace in the state.
He declared his willingness and intention to take go the extra mile of doing anything within his power to ensure there is peace in the state. He restated his intention to apologise to Peter Obi or any other person to ensure there is peace in the state for no state can develop without it.
His words: ''Frankly, my apology has nothing to do with re-election. I have been under pressure to declare my interest in re-election which I have been resisting because I want to concentrate on the development of our dear state. I have been receiving endorsements from the best of people and groups in the state. Ndi Anambra is truly a very appreciative people, and I thank God every morning and night for them. I will do whatever it will take to make Anambra remain peaceful. It is peace which leads to rapid economic development. If apologising to Chief Obi or any other person will help bring about peace and development, I will not only apologise, I will genuflect, kneel down, prostrate. The future of our state is worth every sacrifice.''
