Mr Tony Okigbo, the Special Assistant on Grassroots Mobilisation and Enlightenment to the Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano has said that the governorship aspirant of the Progressive People’s Alliance (PPA), Chief Godwin Ezeemo, is not competent  to be a deputy governor.

Okigbo said although the PPA gubernatorial aspirant may have all it takes for such a job, the position still remained the exclusive preserve of members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Ezeemo had earlier said that he never contemplated becoming a deputy to Governor Obiano in the November governorship election, claiming he had turned down the offer severally.

But Okigbo, while briefing journalists yesterday in Awka, noted that Obiano already had a deputy that was doing well in the discharge of his official duties.

He added that there were credible members who could as well be chosen if it became necessary.
