Sen. Stella Oduah has described the victory of Gov. Willie Obiano in the just concluded Anambra election as an end to impunity in the state.

Oduah also commended President Muhammadu Buhari, INEC and security agencies for ensuring a peaceful poll last Saturday.

“The best part of the election is the fact that for the first time, Anambra people spoke against impunity, the victory signifies liberation.

“Anambra people have for the first time been politically liberated, the issue of god-fatherism has been put to death finally; the issue of imposition by any party or group has also been put to death.

“This victory is a victory of hope for Anambra people, it is a victory of progress for Anambra people and it is a victory for development for Anambra people.

“From the onset, I had always said that what we need above every other thing is not about party, it is about who will give us the development that we require.

“It is about who will restore the hope of security, governance and the hope that Anambra will have a place in Nigeria where it is supposed to be.”
