A governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 6 Anambra election, Andy Uba, has attacked Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano, saying he shunned his deputy for 18 months.
He said Obiano has not had a face-to-face interaction with his deputy Nkem Okeke in 18 months.
Uba spoke during a media parley in Lagos on Monday, Uba alleged that Obiano is detached from the “realities on ground” in Anambra.
Okeke defected from APGA to APC recently. He received the APC flag from President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa.
Uba said: “Obiano has not seen his deputy governor for 18 months. They have not seen each other. What kind of leader is that?
“Obiano does not engage the people. You must engage the people that are agitating in your state. He cuts off people that are not with him, even if they are from his place.”
“Election must hold despite security issues. We are engaging different kinds of people in the state. Obiano has never tried to engage them,” he said.
