I am still Governor—Obi
Governor Peter Obi said he is still the state chief executive in spite of
the inauguration of Deputy Governor Mrs Virgy Etiaba as Governor.
For Obi such inauguration was illegal.
Addressing the press in his office 30-minutes later (10.45 a.m.), Obi said
he remained governor of the state.
He said that what both the chief judge and a faction of the House of
Assembly led by the Speaker, Mr Mike Balonwu did leading to the inauguration
this morning of Etiaba as governor in her office was illegal.
“As far as I am concerned, what we have in Anambra state today is a case of
one governor and one deputy governor, we do not have two governors,” he
said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that while Etiaba left her office
immediately after being inaugurated, Obi has remained in his office with few
security details still attached to him.
NAN further reports that security situation is still normal as government
house staff who were all standing outside their offices expressing surprise
at the developments.
