It was a grand breaking ceremony when Governor of Delta State, Deputy Governor of Edo State, Phillip Shaibu, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, his Oyo and Abia States counterparts, Sheyi Makinde and Okezie Ikpeazu, and other stalwarts of the party on Tuesday, appealed to the people of Anambra State to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) come November 6.
The governors, who made the appeal while speaking at the grand finale of their party’s campaign held at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, Anambra State capital, told the people that their party’s candidate, Chief Valentine Ozigbo, was the best person they needed for a better future.
Also throwing support from Anambra, the former governor of the state and the 2019 Vice presidential candidate of the party, Mr. Peter Obi; Senator Uche Ekwunife, Senator Ben Ndi Obi, Okey Mmuoaro, some of Obi’s former commissioners and other eminent members of the party also were at the event in support of Ozigbo.
Addressing party faithful, Peter Obi, appealed to Ndi Anambra to vote for PDP, as according to him, the party’s candidate was well prepared for the job. He lamented that a lot of things have gone wrong in the state and that Ozigbo possessed the magic wand to turn things around.
Governor Ikpeazu, while narrating sad stories of the pains of Ndigbo under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government, cautioned Ndi Anambra not to jump from frying pan into the fire. He also asked them not to remain in the frying pan, saying that it’s only the PDP that could give them the desired comfort.
He made it clear that the PDP was coming to wipe their tears and give them quality governance like never before. He said that Ozigbo, from his findings, possessed every quality that a leader should have including emotional intelligence.
On his part, Sheyi Makinde, told Ndi Anambra that PDP administration under his leadership was doing well in his state and that he would like them to have a good taste of what PDP could offer under a youthful governor.
For Okowa, the best choice before Ndi Anambra was Ozigbo. He said that he was confident that the PDP’s candidate would do well for the state if elected on November 6. He therefore appealed to Ndi Anambra to take charge of their destiny by ensuring they vote for PDP on the election day.
