…as stakeholders call for massive turnout of electorate
Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State, Hon. Okechukwu Edeh, has expressed confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), and all its candidates would emerge victorious as the electorate had already adopted them as their sole candidates in the state, stressing that Dr. Peter Mbah, governorship candidate of the party, was only an inch closer to the Lion Building and would be sworn-in as governor on May 29.
The Chairman, who disclosed this yesterday at Amechi-Idodo/Oruku, Amankanu/Ubahu and Owo political wards at the grand finale of the local government ward-to-ward campaign tours, further said his people were ready to give the ruling party 100 per cent votes in February 25 and March 11 elections, respectively.
While appreciating the mammoth crowds for their support and solidarity, Hon. Okechukwu urged them not to relent until PDP is declared winner at the polls, adding that the people would continue to enjoy dividends of good governance such as peace and security, massive infrastructure, youths empowerment, agricultural revival and socio-economic inclusion.
Hon. Okechukwu restated the commitment of the party’s governorship flagbearer to change the narrative of government, redefine the state’s economic status, inspire tremendous growth and ensure that zero percent poverty headcount index is achieved within the next 8 years.
“We are here to appreciate you for your unwavering support over the past years. You’ve shown, by coming out and by reaching out to other electorate, that this project is yours. I want to commend you the way you’ve been handling the campaigns with enthusiasm.
“All the political wards that we’d visited had given us overwhelming support. Just like what you’ve told us here today, our people have been assuring us there’s no opposition in Nkanu East. They will all be voting for the PDP. Your support is not given to our party out of sympathy but out of strong conviction that our party has done well in attending to your welfare; in empowering the people; in improving their human capital development; in ensuring that basic amenities are provided; and in giving our children robust and standard education.
“Dr. Peter Mbah will do more when he comes into power. He has the interest of our people at heart. Your welfare will be given priority by his administration.
“Let me use this opportunity to urge our people across the 17 local government areas of the state to keep mobilizing for the PDP. On the day of elections, come out and vote for the best governorship candidate in Enugu State. Dr. Peter Mbah is test, trusted and result-oriented,” the chairman said.
In their separate remarks, the Enugu East Senatorial Zonal PDP Chairman, Hon. Nnamdi Nwafor, Nkanu East PDP Chairman, Hon. Emeka Nwatu, and the party candidate for the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Okey Mbah, commended the tours as laudable and fruitful.
They extolled the council chairman for demonstrating capacity, competence and leadership excellence for rallying the people to vote for the PDP, adding that victory is certain for the party at the polls.
While calling on the electorate to vote all the candidates across the party, the speakers said Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani and Hon. Nnolim Nnaji should be voted for senate and house of representatives on February 25, respectively.
According to them, on March 11, the people should come out in large numbers and queue behind Dr. Peter Mbah for governor and Hon. Okey Mbah for house of assembly, noting that the logo of the PDP remains umbrella.
