Chairperson of the Anambra State Governorship Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Uche Ekwunife has called for cooperation of leaders and stakeholders of the party to wrestle power from the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the November 6 election.

Speaking on Sunday, during the official inauguration of the PDP Campaign Council in Awka, the state capital, Ekwunife acknowledged that such personalities had contributed immensely to the progress of the party.

“Take it or leave it people like Chris Uba, Linus Ukachukwu and others remain our leaders. They can’t be wished away as far as the coming governorship election is concerned. We’ll continue to appeal to them so they will join us to go into the election.

Describing the party candidate as product of divine providence, Ekwunife assured of her full support to his candidacy, calling on others to throw their weight on him.

She said, “The task ahead of us does not call for mere occupying of positions, rather, it is a call to service, so that Anambra State will maintain stable and effective leadership come 2022.

“This meeting is not only targeted at inaugurating SEC, it is also a platform for us to share and reflect on the Council’s Terms of Reference, and set preliminary timelines for setting up a formidable election management in 21 LGAs and 326 electoral Wards.

“No less is expected of us than our utmost best, which calls for dedication and commitment. More importantly, your demonstration of ingenuity, creativity, innovation and pro-activeness in the handling of both individual and group tasks shall provide the magic that will enable us overcome our opponents.

“Therefore, your conduct and performance must at all times reflect your sensitivity to the needs, for our candidate to emerge victorious come November 6, 2021.

Director General of the campaign organization, Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, thanked stakeholders of the part, as well as members of the campaign organization for their efforts towards uniting the party, as well as moving the party forward. He also called on supporters of the party to approach the forthcoming polls with sincerity and unity of purpose, so that the party would come out triumphantly come November 6, 2021.

I wouldn’t have wished for a better chairman and members of the council. Im convinced that God’s finger in this project would lead us government house. PDP is party to beat.

He called on aggrieved members to sheath their swords to ensure victory was guaranteed.
“We’ve spent much money, we can’t afford to spend more. We’ll have reasons to celebrate. Bring in the best of you. Let’s work as a team. For me, I’ll provide the leadership. Whatever needed, I’m ready to bring them to bear for the party’s victory, ” he stressed.hris Uba, Ukachukwu
