Ahead of the February 25 presidential elections, more political parties have declared support for the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in Anambra State, ANAMBRA PEOPLE reports.
This was made known to the press yesterday in Awka by the Director General of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Committee in Anambra State, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, OFR.
Professor Okonkwo stated shortly after the presidential management committee meeting held at the campaign headquarters to ensure final preparations for the polls that Anambra is so far leading other Southeast states in the quest to rescue and recover Nigeria, insisting that the PDP will win in the state and region as always.
The DG noted that no fewer than seven (7) opposition parties in Anambra State have collapsed their structures in support of the Atiku-Okowa ticket.
Anambra is confident of victory. We are a liberal people who understand the dynamics of our politics and nascent democracy. Aside from the thousands of opposition party members who have defected to the PDP in Anambra since we began spreading the gospel of rescue and recovery, another seven (7) political parties have adopted Atiku Abubakar and Senator Ifeanyichukwu Okowa as their presidential and vice presidential candidates.
We are confident in the recovery agenda, the promise of true federalism, the stability of the nation’s economy and security, and other important policies that Atiku Abubakar has presented to Nigerians, particularly in the southeast.
Hence, we are committed to their success in the forthcoming presidential elections, as the PDP party will continue to win as always in Anambra State. Professor Okonkwo said
The committee was equally assured that the present hardships that Nigerians are facing will become history in the first week of Atiku Abubakar being president, as he will ensure people-oriented policies and governance.
Okonkwo assured that the Atiku-Okowa ticket in Anambra State has continued to enjoy the support of the entire population of the state and was confident that such support would translate to votes and a victory for the PDP in the end.
