Cast your votes for PDP for better Anambra,  Ozigbo appeals

LAGOS, Nigeria – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the November 6 Anambra governorship election, Valentine Ozigbo has called on Anambra people  to  come out on Election Day and cast their vote tor PDP.

He made appeal during his campaign rally at Dunukofia Local Government Area of the state . He urged the people to defend their votes after voting for PDP which is the only party with template to  change Anambra state for better  .

Ozigbo also urged the  people to be prayerful  to ensure  that the party gets  to Agu Awka, government , noting that without God nothing is possible.

“We are grateful for your assurances. We also want you to match it with prayers. We want you to translate all these into victory for our party come November 6,” Ozigbo said.  He urged them to go out and mobilise  support for the party to ensure victory .

“We are counting on your support and goodwill. We have an excellent manifesto which details our blueprint for the development of Anambra State. We will deliver on our promises. Play your part by voting for us, and we won’t have any problem fulfilling ours,”  he said.

In his opening speech, the Chairman of PDP Campaign Council in Dunukofia  local government area , Hon Onochie Okagbue said the people of the area have  unanimously agreed to give their block votes for PDP and its candidate come November 6, 2021.

“Though we supported different aspirants before the primary election that produced the governorship candidate of the party, we are one family, and collectively, we pledge a block vote for the party and its governorship candidate”.

“Come November 6, we will mobilise our people in their numbers to cast our votes. We’ll be there to protect our votes, and our votes will surely count. PDP will sweep Dunukofia. Presently, there is a break in government in Anambra State. The citizens do not have the feel of governance in Anambra again. There is a wide gap between the political leaders and the people.

“Thus, Dunukofia has resolved to vote for a candidate that will bridge the gap, give power back to the people, and provide dividends of democracy. The candidate is Valentine Ozigbo, and the party is PDP,” he added.

In his submission, the former  governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, described Ozigbo and his running mate, Dame Azuka Enemo, as a team Anambra people cannot afford to lose.

“Frankly, only three political parties are contesting this election – they are APGA, APC and PDP. Anambra and Igbo people have rejected APC. The party, for the Igbo people, is associated with bad governance. So, it cannot be marketed in the state. For APGA, the party has not done well in Anambra in the last eight years. Our roads, schools, hospitals are in a sorry state. Since I left office as governor, the incumbent government has done nothing to improve on the foundation we laid.

“The state we left eight years ago without debt is currently in massive debt. The state my administration left with huge savings is now penniless. Therefore, PDP and its candidate, Ozigbo, remain the only viable option for Ndi-Anambra beyond March 17, 2021.

“Ozigbo has remained a man of excellence all through his life. If given the mandate by Ndi Anambra, he will continue from where I stopped in the delivery of good governance and democracy dividends,” Obi said

In his brief remarks, Chairman of the party in the Dunukofia LGA, Hon Chigbo Dibiaezue said Dunukofia would vote massively for Ozigbo because of his track record of excellence and quality leadership.

According to him, “Valentine Ozigbo is a good man who had made Anambra State and Nigeria proud because of his records of excellence. We are confident that he will not deviate when it comes to the leadership of Anambra State. His manifesto is people and development-oriented, and we believe that he has good intentions for Ndi Anambra.”

In the campaign train were Ozigbo’s running mate, Mrs Azuka Enemo; the Vice-Presidential Candidate of the PDP in the 2019 election, Mr Peter Obi; the governorship candidate of the party in the 2017 election in Anambra, Ambassador Osaeloka Obaze; Hon Obinna Chidoka, the lawmaker representing Idemili North and Idemili South Federal Constituency at the Federal House of Representatives, and several members of the Anambra PDP governorship campaign council.
