Anambra Commissioner Declares Obi's Ambition Not Igbo Project
Law Mefor, PhD, the Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, declared that the presidential ambition of Peter Obi, the candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, is not an Igbo project. Mefor explained that inquiries regarding this issue often stem from emotional responses and subtle blackmail from individuals in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the Anambra State Government.
He stated that Obi has never framed his ambition as an Igbo project and has not sought the endorsement of Igbo leaders or organizations. Mefor asserted that political groups in Igboland are not automatically obligated to support Obi, as he has not requested such allegiance.
He warned that the existence of APGA could be threatened if Obi's NDC were to take control of Anambra State, noting that APGA plans to field candidates for various elections in 2027. Mefor referenced the political shift in Imo State as an example of potential consequences.
