Ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), primary to elect a candidate for the November 2021 Anambra State governorship election, Dr .Obiora Okonkwo, has said that the only way the party will defeat the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA), was if it forged a united front.
Okonkwo, who is one of the aspirants jostling for the PDP ticket said the task ahead of party was not about who would fly the governorship ticket of the party in November, but about how to defeat APGA and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“As we are all aware, the battle ahead of us is not just one of winning the party’s ticket to becoming the flag-bearer in the November governorship election. It goes beyond that, and that is why we must find a better understanding and create a unifying front to face the challenges ahead. This is imperative because our great party, the PDP, which is obviously the darling party of the generality of Anambra people, has been out of power in the state for close to 16 years; and at the centre for more than five years now. It will come to eight years by 2023.”
