Earlier in his valedictory speech, former governor Obi had described the transition as historic pointing out that since the creation of both old and new Anambra State, “no governor has handed over to anybody.” Obi speaks His words: “Chief Jim Nwobodo did not hand over to Chief Christian Onoh (in the Second Republic); Chukwuemeka Ezeife did not hand over to Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju; Mbadinuju did not hand over to Dr. Chris Ngige and Ngige was not available the day I took my oath of office.’’ He also claimed that when he ‘’was sworn in, Anambra did not have the Governor’s Office, there was no Governor’s Lodge. When I was sworn in, I came with my car but today as we leave here after the new Governor has been sworn in, he will move in a brand new Governor’s car and he will move into a Governor’s Lodge. Anambra State has returned to the path of peace and progress because when we started the journey all of us knew what it was but today, we can say we have a state.” He denied entering into any pact with Obiano, advising his successor to give priority attention to the future of the youths in the state. - See more at: brimtime/2014/03/willie-obiano-sworn-in-as-anambra.html#sthash.n7rFXvjP.dpuf
