“Anambra remains the safest State in Nigeria today; we don’t have cases of kidnapping, armed robbery or similar crimes. We have been firmly in control of that State and will continue to do so throughout my tenure as governor,” Obiano said.
“I’m very confident that I will win the forthcoming election with a landslide. All we want is for the empire to be unbiased. A free and fair election is what we want and we will get the result.”
He added that Buhari likes governors who work hard and are delivering dividends of democracy to their people.
