Speaking at the event, Secondus who was represented by the National Youth Leader of the party, S. K. E. Ude-Okoye, said that the PDP would do everything possible and legitimate to reclaim Anambra in next year’s governorship election, which he said was originally controlled by the party.
He said that the successes recorded by the party during the 2019 general election wherein the party won two of the three senatorial zones in the state and about six House of Representatives seats were indications that the party was doing well in the state.
In his speech, Azubogu who spoke on behalf of other National Assembly members said that the lawmakers were impressed with the leadership of Nwobu in the state. They said that the peace and harmony in the state chapter of the party showed that the Nwobu-led exco was on the right track.
