Former Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha, has enjoined members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State to remain steadfast, adding that victory is assured for the party in 2023 general elections.
He gave the assurance on Wednesday in Owerri, during a civic reception in honour of the party’s National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu. The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives noted that the party has grown stronger despite the set back it had and has also learnt from its past, stressing that the party is prepared to deliver greater electoral outcomes.
Ihedioha thanked the National Chairman, Sen. Iyorchia Ayu, PDP governors, other notable leaders and supporters of the party for gracing the occasion.
He spoke to the cheers and solidarity of the crowd of teeming members maintained that the party will bounce back to Douglas House. The PDP National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, in his address, appealed to the PDP faithful in Imo to put behind them the agonies of the lost governorship mandate which Imo people gave the party but was upturned by the apex court.
Ayu, a former Senate President, noted that victory is certain for the PDP in Imo State and the Federal Government. He called on the leaders of the party in Imo to work together so as to take the reins of power in the state, which he said has become very certain.
In his remarks at the event during which stalwarts from other political parties were also received, the National Secretary of PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, said PDP has one common enemy which is APC.
Anyanwu stated that PDP is united in the state, promising never to use his position to witch-hunt anybody.
