In the build-up to the race for the seat of the Nnewi North at the Anambra state house of assembly in the forthcoming 2019 elections, a frontline aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mazi Tobe Osigwe has withdrawn from the race.
Mazi Tobe Osigwe who made this known in a release signed titled ‘WHY I AM NO LONGER INVOLVED’ on his Facebook page, cited several reasons for his decision.
WHY I AM NO LONGER INVOLVED
It is with deepest regret that I announce my withdrawal from the race of contesting the Anambra State House of Assembly election representing my constituency, Nnewi North. This hard decision was taken after factoring some irreversible realities. I know this might come as a shock to so many of my teeming supporters and party faithfuls who believe and look forward to the manifestation of my political ideology : educational revolution. However, it is necessary I take this bold step to ensure future victories.
I would like to state unequivocally that presently, as far as the Fourth Republic exist there is no room for any sane man to remain in the political arena without compromising on eternal principles. Perhaps, a Fifth Republic will pave the way to correct certain grave political errors which have solidified into our political culture. If there is no Fifth Republic for us to start on a clean slate then we are of all men most miserable. But the good news is that there is light at the end of the tunnel, therefore, it becomes wise I save my strength for this new dawn.
Please I will like to use this medium to implore all, especially close friends, associates, family and party loyalists to give me a breather. In the fullness of time I will call or come to your respective houses to explain better why this route is the most reasonable step to chart in achieving a better future.
Finally, I want to thank all true patriots for their understanding as I reassure them that this is not an end but a beginning. This is the beginning of the NEW ERA.
Mazi Tobe Osigwe.
Awka, Anambra State.
