“Once I have your ticket, I will win election for you. If you want government house , Iyom will give you government house and if I have the PDP’s ticket, let all the political parties in Anambra state present one candidate, I will defeat them. I don’t think I have much challenges winning election. All I need is your support and ticket, I will be there, I have done it before and I will do it again.
“Give me your ticket, that is all I asked and it is the partnership that will take us to government house. Character in election is very important” Senator Uche Ekwunife said.
According to Ekwunife, PDP is lucky that the present governor Chief Willie Obiano is not a politician, saying that if Willie Obiano was a politician PDP would not survive in the state.
“We have to thank God that Obiano is not a politician, if politician take over government house under All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), PDP may not survive it . If I becomes the governor of Anambra state today, other parties will join PDP.
“We have been in opposition in the state for the last 16 years, we cannot continue being opposition in Anambra state” she said.
On the issue of zoning the governorship to south, Ekwunife said that the zoning favours her most because she is from Anambra South Senatorial District and married to a man in Anambra-North senatorial.
” Some people said there is zoning, assuming and not conceding there is zoning, though, PDP said there is no zoning, but if Anambra people say there is zoning, it favours me most. Women have dual citizenship. I am from Anambra South and married to Anambra Central. A woman can represent her people either from her place of birth or her husband’s place” Uche Ekwunife stated.
