How PDP Will Win Anambra – Okwenna
By Emmanuel Oloniruha
Dr Ifedi Okwenna, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant for the Anambra 2021 Governorship Election, has said that the party must present the right candidate who must work in unity with everyone else for the party to regain the governorship of the state.
Okwenna stated this while speaking with newsmen shortly after submitting his expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the Anambra primary at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Saturday.
Okwenna said one of the major reasons PDP had not been able to regain power in Anambra was disunity among party members after primaries of the party.
“I know that one of our greatest challenges is that we are always factionalised after the primary election. This time around, we will put in more effort and ensure that we are not divided.
“If I get the party’s ticket, I will unite all the contending forces in the state. When that happens, we will go to the election united and victory is sure,” Okwenna said of the PDP’s prospects in Anambra.
He expressed optimism that the number of aspirants contesting for the party’s ticket would not be a challenge.
“We are 15 aspirants. I remember there was a time that we were up to 40. There is nothing to worry about,” Okwenna said.
He, however, advised party leaders and delegates in the state to ensure that the right candidate emerged from the primaries.
He urged the state PDP delegates to vote wisely at the party primary election.
“PDP has been out of power for 16 years in Anambra, we cannot afford to loss power for another eight years,” Okwenna added.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the PDP primary candidate is to emerge in June.
The party had earlier appointed a committee led by former Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State to screen the 15 candidates who have bought the forms.
