You sound as if you have never held an elected office before. You sought re-election as Anambra Governor in 2010, and narrowly won courtesy of a divided opposition. Why didn\u2019t you walk away after only one term in office?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, after serving two terms, did Anambra look like a state that has been transformed? If you couldn\u2019t transform a small Anambra after 8 years, is there a guarantee that you\u2019ll do anything significant under 4 years as President of a complex and complicated Nigeria?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou talk about keeping your promises or your vow being your bond, but you and I know that\u2019s not true. You have broken previous promises and usually lie with reckless abandon, sometimes needlessly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, you said you won\u2019t leave APGA but you left (the reason for your exit is immaterial because if we\u2019re to make allowance for excuses, you\u2019ll definitely have an excuse to break your one-term vow).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou talk about trust, but how do you expect people to trust someone who can\u2019t keep a simple promise not to leave a political party?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
