The vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has said that the PDP will win in Anambra State in the 2023 election.
“APGA had controlled the state in past times when PDP had won 95 per cent of the votes in the state, both in the presidential and national assembly elections in Anambra State. I think it is going to be the same.
“Anambra people have always voted for the PDP at all times, and I wonder why you feel this time will be different. We are confident that we will win Anambra at the end of the day,” he added. Supporting Atiku’s pro-Northern comments telling the North not to vote for any other tribe, Okonkwo said, “Atiku is a pan-Nigerian, who has built bridges and a proud northerner. There is no presidential candidate anywhere in the world who will address his people and ask them to vote for another person or tribe. If that is the way to play politics, good luck to a presidential candidate who tells his people not to vote for him.
“We are following Atiku because we know he has all it takes to reunite this country. PDP is not just a party but an institution that has come to last since 1999. The party has survived the All Progressives Congress misrule of eight years and we are still moving stronger.Okonkwo disclosed that the campaign committee of PDP will campaign in every ward and local government of Anambra State to curry votes.
He eulogised the traditional ruler of Onitsha Kingdom, Obi Alfred Achebe for holding a colourful Ofala Cultural Festival, while also enjoining other monarchs and communities to join in showcasing African culture.All rights reserved.
