The traditional ruler of Nteje in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, Igwe Roland Odegbo, yesterday said Governor Willie Obiano should not be distracted by the rumour that he would be vying for the presidency in 2019.
He described the clamour as a distraction to his passionate drive towards transforming the state.
Speaking with journalists in Awka, the monarch said the governor was more interested in improving the welfare of his people and expanding the frontiers of development in the state.
“The idea that the governor has presidential ambition is not only mischievous, but equally malicious. The man is saddled with the task of transforming Anambra State into the next Dubai. The passion is so consuming that the idea of a presidential ambition easily pales in insignificance,” the monarch said.
