Obidigbo stated this during an
interaction with journalists to mark the end of the year in his factory, Hardis
and Dromedas in Umunya, yesterday.
He said he is the only governorship
hopeful in the party who has the capacity to run against the sitting governor
and win the election for the party.
Obidigbo who was reacting to a
question on APC’s habit of fielding only candidates who have suffered for the
party in times past, and kept faith with in thick and thin, said winning
election is not about those who have been in the party for a long time, but
fielding people who have structure and support from the people.
He said, “If APC wants to win the
election, it would field their best, but if they use their ticket to compensate
someone for loyalty, then they would have made a mistake.
“If that is what they have done it
in the past, then they know where it has landed them. They must give their
ticket to those who can win election.”
He added that he is not desperate to
become the governor of Anambra State, saying that if he failed to clinch the
party’s ticket, he will return to his business, but would not withdraw his
support for the party.
Obidigbo who is a renowned
manufacturer said that his whole ambition to govern Anambra State was to use
the instrument of power to create jobs, as he is sure that he is blessed with
ideas that can provide employment in Anambra, but stated that he cannot do it
as a single individual.
“My ambition has nothing to do
with selfish interest, money or no money, power or no power or no power, I only
sought to help my immediate constituency, because of what God has deposited in
me.”
