Gov. Obi is a Wizard - Awgbu, Amaokpala communities

Awgbu and Amaokpala communities in Anambra State have described Gov. Peter Obi starting and completion of Odor Bridge, linking the two communities as a project only a wizard could do. They said this yesterday during the commissioning of the 165-meter Odor Bridge.

All the speakers at the flag-off ceremony said that the communities believed that the Odor River was inhabited by powerful gods and goddesses that anybody who tried to construct a bridge over it would die.

In his remarks, the State Commissioner for Works, Callistus Ilozumba said the bridge, which cost the State 1 Billion Naira was very strategic to Orumba North and other neighboring Local Governments. He also said that the Ndiukwuenu road under construction with two bridges was another major project at Orumba North.

The Gov. Who recalled that the Awgbu-Umuawulu-Nibo road was the 2nd road he flagged off as the Governor of Anambra State, said that the decision to construct the bridge was borne out of the policy of the Government to provide access to communities in the hinterland.

He assured that he would continue to work as the Governor of Anamvra State till the 17th of March, and encouraged the people to vote in Obiano for the continuation of his numerous projects.

Earlier, the Governor flagged of the construction of the 4.5 Kilometer-Abube-Nando road, which is costing the government 650 million Naira and almost over 50% completed. He said the project was in line with the promise he made to the people of the area. He said that the contractor had been adequately mobilized.

Speaking at both events, the National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh said that the Government led by Governor Peter Obi had distinguished itself by the distribution of resources of the State for the good of all and called on the people of the State to vote for Willie Obiano for continuity of good governance.
