Anyone
asked the impact of Governor Willie Obiano’s victory in the November 18 gubernatorial
ballot in Anambra State could answer with a single word: Crushing. He won in
all of the 21 local government areas of the state. His closest rivals came up
in dismal second, third and fourth places. The combined total of the votes
garnered by the rest of the 33 candidates managed to hit the hundreds.

Significantly, ex-Governor Peter Obi, the godfather of PDP candidate Oseloka
Obaze lost in his Anaocha local government area. Mr. Obaze himself lost in his
Ogbaru local government area. His running mate, Mrs. Alexandria Chidi
Onyemelukwe, famed daughter of Dr. Alex Ekwueme, lost in her Nnewi North local
government area. The string of tragic losses is bewildering. APC candidate Tony
Nwoye lost in his Anambra East local government area. His bankroller, the
tycoon Arthur Eze, lost in his Dunukofia local government area. The loquacious
PDP campaign director-general Joe-Martins Uzodike lost in the polling booth in
front of his Awka-Etiti house. Indeed, APGA is a party of giant killers. All
their opponents were buried in a landslide!
