Obaze polled 672 votes to defeat Chief Alex Obiogbolu, who scored 190 votes to come second and Dr Ifeanyi Uba with 94 votes, for third place, in the primary election held at Prof. Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka.

Four other aspirants including Chief John Emeka, Afodike Akaolisa, Senator Stella Oduah and Ms Linda Ikpeazu withdrew from the race over allegations of irregularities in the list of delegates.

Obaze was Secretary to State Government (SSG) of Anambra from June 12, 2012 to June 8, 2015, under former Governor Peter Obi, whose tenure ended on May 29, 2015, and briefly with incumbent governor, Willie Obiano.

Before his appointment as SSG, Obaze was in Nigeria’s diplomatic service and later, the United Nations, jobs that ran from 1982 to 2012.

In 2013, he was a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).
