They resolved to work together and on a non-partisan basis to ensure that a candidate from the North senatorial zone emerged as the governor of Anambra in 2014.  They recalled that in the 22 year old history of Anambra State, not one single individual has emerged as a governor, even though Section 14 of the 1999 amended Constitution recognized the need for balancing of elected and appointed positions within the States and local governments.  The aspirants also agreed with Governor Obi, that the North producing the next governor was a matter of equity, justice and fair play. Finally. Only time will tell as the final decision will be made by the good people of Anambra state and not Mr Peter Obi.
