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.

The possible delay in printing raises further fears that not everyone will have a fair chance of voting when the elections begin next month. . The press secretary to the INEC chairman, Kayode Idowu, denied the allegations and said everything remained on track to ensure a free and fair election. As the deadline for replacement and withdrawal of candidates passed yesterday, dozens of party officials filled the commission’s headquarters, meeting with INEC staff and passing documents. Mr. Idowu said that the replacements could not be confirmed until the list was publis...

As the 2011 elections draws near, one cannot but be marvelled at the scramble for elective positions in Nigeria. We would soon be hearing about agendas-be it seven point, 12 point or even 100 point agenda as is the case with the country. Anambra North senatorial zone and indeed Anambra West local government has suffered tremendously in the hands of unscrupulous elements whom we erroneously or never voted in the first place. We would soon be approached like in the past to give them support and after elections they turn us into slaves and set their dogs on us as we would never set eyes on them again. They would only wave to us from inside their bullet-proof cars. They don't KNOW YOU after the elections. Avoid them now as possible as you can.
