“We have a candidate for the Anambra governorship election in the person of Valentine Ozigbo, we have to join hands together with him and also continue to urge all the aggrieved members including Sir Chris Uba to support Ozigbo for his project.

“I accepted to chair the organization with all my heart and urge other members to work wholeheartedly for the success of the project.”

In his speech, the PDP candidate, Ozigbo, hailed Ekwunife for accepting to head the party's campaign organisation saying: “I am proud of you.”
