Sir,

Anambra Guber: Watch Ezejie, Nwosu & Ukachukwu

Every blessed day that passes draws nearer the Anambra 2010 gubernatorial election scheduled for February 6, 2010. About 25 political parties fielded candidates for the election. But out of those, we have few who are really on a mission to set the State ablaze if the pendulum fails to swing their way. They include APGA Peter Obi, PDP Chukwuma Soludo, AC Chris Ngige, PPA Uche Ekwunife and LP Andy Uba.

I am being drawn nearer by the predictions of Primate Olabayo (of Evangelical Church of Yaweh) and Prophet Ayodele (of INRI Evangelical Church). Both men of God seem to have strong predictions as concerns Anambra State. There is also one Dr. Ikechukwu Anunobi said to reside in Onitsha whose prediction seems to tally with those of Olabayo and Ayodele, but I do not think he is a ‘man of God’.

Ironically, the two men of God seem not having any interest in Anambra but were just gave divine messages. Primate Olabayo in (National Life newspaper 9/01/10) had it that “Neither Professor Soludo nor Dr. Andy Uba would win the Februuary governorship election in Anambra State; rather a dark horse would emeger as governor through a bargain, for peace.” and Prophet Ayodele in (Daily Sun newspaper 24/10/09) had it that “ I want to tell you that Dr. Chris Ngige will not win. Governor Peter Obi may have a chance but he will be misled. The ANPP candidate and the PDP man, Professor Chukwuma Soludo (who PDP would like to enthrone by force) would at the end tackle each other. I don’t know the ANPP man now ”. Olabayo and Ayodele are saying almost the same thing about the Anambra gubernatorial election; whereas they differed on Yar’Adua’s issue.

From the foregoing, while Prophet Ayodele was emphatic on ANPP candidate, Primate Olabayo referred to a ‘dark horse’. Looking at it from any angle, their predictions are something Anambarians should not forget. Hence I predict that Ejezie of ANPP, Nwosu of ADC and Ukachukwu of HDP are those to watch.
