Obiano Magic – Sealing the Cracks between Churches in Anambra State

Governor Willie Obiano has continued to surprise his critics and admirers in a manner that leaves no one in doubt that the hand of God is truly upon him. And this is why. Apart from his seemingly mazy run through all the nebulous litigations that sought to snuff life out of his regime even before it could fully take off, the former banker has continued to win the approval and endorsement of well-known hardliners in Anambra State.

It was to his credit, for instance, that the phenomenal new generation novelist who was recently listed as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine, Chimamanda Adichie accepted to deliver the lecture that marked his first 100 Days in office. In the truest tradition of iconoclasts and gifted artists, Adichie has an aversion towards the establishment. She is reputed to have turned down so many efforts by different state governments and the Federal Government to woo her to their side in the past. In fact, it is rumoured that an attempt by the incoming administration in this regard also hit the brick-wall. But Adichie did not just accept to speak at Obiano’s 100 Days in office but did so with an enthusiasm that turned to a magnetic enchantment that held her audience in a spell.
