Labour Party (LP) governorship aspirant in the 2025 Anambra election, Mr Paul Orajiaka has extolled the virtues of the presidential candidate for the party in the last general elections, Mr Peter Obi.
The guber hopeful during an interactive session with journalists in Awka described Peter Obi as a symbol of value, integrity, morals, and decency.
Orajiaka said he actually left the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined Labour Party (LP) to identify with such good traits that the former Anambra State governor symbolizes.
“What he did in his eight years of administration in Anambra is still a benchmark for good governance in the country.
“I decided to move to the Labour Party because of the presence of Mr Peter Obi in the party, LP is a platform that has a sense of purpose and more desire for genuine change.
Asked on the lessions he learnt as a former governorship aspirant, Mr Orajiaka said that he learnt to his charging that political structure and not the rich manifesto determines the fate of candidates.
“One of the lessons I learnt from running for elective office is that you may be passionate about serving, but the political structures in place have a way of determining your fate.
“So, what it tells you is that, it’s not just about you having the will, it’s about you being able to fight a system that is perpetually, wanting to keep the best of the candidates out of the race,” Mr Orajiaka said.
The LP guber hopeful while accessing the performance of the incumbent administration said that he Is not impressed with what Prof Charles Soludo has done noting that Ndi-Anambra expected more from him based on his pedigree as a former CBN governor.
Mr Orajiaka however pleadged to run a responsive and responsible administration, all Ndi-Anambra would be proud of, if he becomes the governor of the state.
