…Senator Ekwunife Charges Supporters As They Meet PDP Guber Candidate
Senator Uche Ekwunife, the Chairperson of the Anambra 2021 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Campaign Council, has urged members of her political structure to view the success of the party’s flag-bearer in the coming November 6 poll, Valentine Ozigbo, as a priority.
Senator Ekwunife, who is the lawmaker representing Anambra Central at the Nigerian Senate, made the remarks on Sunday, August 29, 2021, when she hosted Mr. Ozigbo to a meeting with members of her political family.
At the event held at the Senator Uche Ekwunife Center in Awka, Ekwunife charged her followers to discard distractions and focus on delivering PDP at the election.
“We must be proactive as we enter this electioneering season. Our priority must be delivering our candidate at the November poll,” Senator Ekwunife said.
“Luckily, we do not lack in any department. Every election period comes with its unique challenges, which include misunderstandings and suspicion. What is important is the goal and not these distractions.

“As the highest-ranking elected member of the PDP in Anambra State, it is essential that I lead the charge and galvanise party members to rally behind our candidate, Valentine Ozigbo.
“We have less than 50 days to the election. We need your support to ensure that our wards and local governments are fully mobilised for PDP,” the federal legislator added.
In his brief remarks, a member of the PDP National Board of Trustees, Chief Maxwell Okudo, said that Ozigbo is the perfect candidate with the right message and should be marketed to Ndi Anambra with the required urgency.
