New York, April 11, 2007—History is about to be made again in the tiny but crisis-ridden Anambra State of Nigeria, as reports indicate that the masses of the state are set to elect the first female governor in the history of the oil-rich African nation.

Her Excellency, Dame Virgy Etiaba (Popularly called, “Mama Anambra”)

Reports on the ground indicate that the large followers of government banned renegade, Dr. Chris Ngige, the leadership of NNPP, DPP and Labour Party have all declared intension to join forces to ensure that Her Excellency Dame Virgy Etiaba, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate for Anambra State wins in the upcoming poll in Nigeria scheduled on April 14, 2007.

While Dr. Ngige is in a dilemma following apparent conflicting judgments from the courts regarding his candidacy in this governorship election, his followers who see Mrs. Etiaba as the only credible and reliable candidate in the governorship race are decamping to her side en-mass.

Reports on the ground also indicate that the entire influential catholic leadership and masses are supporting Her Excellency.

The little friction within the equally influential Anglican congregation has been ironed out and now the entire Anglicans are now supporting her candidacy, according to reports.

The new generation and born-again faithful both men and women see in Etiaba God’s answer to their powerful prayers for deliverance from the hands of evil men and crooked politicians.

The industrialists, service industries, businesses and the voiceless artisans and masses are unanimous in their support for the tested and reliable first female to briefly rule the state as interim Executive Governor for 3 month from November 3, 2006 to February 7, 2007

Our pollsters on the ground indicate that if a free and fair election is held today, and actual votes counted, Mrs. Etiaba will win Anambra State by 75% margin, cleanly.

However, the electorate see dangers in the state because those opposed to Mrs. Etiaba are in control of the election agency, the police and all the security apparatus, including the armed forces. The only thing Mrs. Etiaba has are the peoples’ support and God.

Prayer warriors from many born-again movements operation in the state we contacted indicated that Holy Ghost Fire would consume anyone that attempts to tamper with actual votes in this election.

There are 36 states in Nigeria and 50 registered political parties for this crucial election closely watched by Nigerians and the international community. Out of 3 females contesting in the male dominated governorship race, Mrs. Etiaba is the only frontline female contestant.

Meanwhile, report indicates that the elite State Security Services agents are guarding some of the Etiaba children following security report that there are plans by a group of political opponents who are jittery at the way the campaign is going to kidnap one of her kids in order to destabilize and weaken her apparently unstoppable campaign organization.

Africans In America News Watch has concluded plans to send special election monitors to Anambra State to compliment other national and international observers already on the ground.
