The senator who flagged off the campaign in the presence of the PDP guber candidate, Dr. Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, Barr Idu Igariwey, Barr. Mudi Erehnede, Silas Onu, and a host of party bigwigs, promised to sustain human and capital development for the people if reelected.

“I want to remind us that we have four months and 25 days for PDP to be in the Government House, we are going to make sure that teachers’ salaries are paid in full.

“We will continue to sustain human capital development, we are going to empower the people with finances that would give them the power to earn a living, and reshape education.

“In Ebonyi State today, teachers contribute money to buy chalk to teach children, but it will soon come to an end, I know this because I did education empowerment last two weeks,” he said.

The senator maintained that the PDP would continue to win elections in the State because they had performed wonderfully well and would continue to deliver good governance to the people.

He expressed confidence that the PDP guber candidate, Odii, would perform beyond people’s expectations because, according to him, he is an experienced businessman that will not be interested in using public funds to survive.

“AnyiChuks does not require people’s subvention or allocation to stand, he would require the subvention to be used for the people,” he added.

He called on his constituents to come out en-mass on election day and vote for PDP candidates at all levels.
