2023: Atiku’s Running Mate Boasts, Says PDP Will Have Landslide Victory In Anambra

Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, Governor of Delta State and vice presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has predicted that his party will prevail in Anambra State in the 2023 election.

Eko Hot Blog reports that Okowa predicted that the PDP will win the state despite the dominance of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, which also has a presidential candidate, and the Labour Party, LP, whose candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, is from the state.

EDITORS PICK:

Okowa, Atiku Abubakar’s running mate, was represented at the 20th Ofala celebration of Obi Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, the ancient kingdom’s traditional ruler, in Onitsha by Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, chairman of United Nigeria Airlines and head of the presidential campaign committee in Anambra State.

Okonkwo, who spoke to journalists while representing Okowa, said: “PDP is fully prepared for the campaign. Anambra has always been the home of PDP, and you may wish to check it. In the past, we have won landslides in all the presidential elections, and almost all the time, we have won a majority of the national assembly election, and I do not think this will be different.

“The campaign committee is coming up to Anambra, and we will campaign in every corner of Anambra State, starting from every voter, every polling booth, every ward, and every local government.

“I have no doubt that at the end of the day, Anambra people will know that we need to be reconnected to Abuja, and the only wire that will give us that connection to the political grid is PDP.”

Speaking on the dominance of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State, Okonkwo described APGA as a friend of PDP.

“APGA had controlled the state in past times when PDP had won 95 percent of the votes in the state, both in the presidential and national assembly election 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.”
