Politics is variously described colloquially as “the game of numbers and also, as a game of wits”. For this reason, every politician cleverly strives to out-wit his opponents in all political outings in order to remain relevant in the scheme of things. Apart from being humbled in the Court of Appeal Judgment arising out of the feud between him and his supporters on the one hand, and the National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh on the other, His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, CON, is one such politician that maximizes his wits to utmost advantage. This article therefore, is premised on how well or lack of it, Gov Obi’s wits will play out during the November 16, 2013 Gubernatorial Election in Anambra State for which Chief Willie Obianor from Aguleri in Anambra-East LGA of Anambra North Senatorial District of the state emerged as the flag bearer of APGA. on 26th August, 2013.

GOVERNOR PETER OBI AND THE POLITICS OF ANAMBRA FLOOD DISASTER BY Bar. Victor Akazue Nwakasi

A nambra State, in South East Nigeria has been reported as the worst hit area by the flood disaster that affected in the most devastating manner, the low plains of several states in Nigeria. The reason is that the disaster which reached its peak in mid-September and early October 2012 affected several local governments in Anambra State namely Anambra West, Anambra East, Ogbaru, Ayamelu, Oyi and Awka North Local Governments. However, the Local Government that earned Anambra State the unenviable first position in the ranking of states devastated by the flood disaster is Anambra West Local Government Area.
