Ebonyi: PDP inaugurates governorship campaign council
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi, on Thursday in Abakaliki, inaugurated the Governorship Campaign Council with a charge to drive the party to victory in the March 11 governorship election.
The campaign, comprising 100 members, was inaugurated by Ifeanyichukwuma Odii, the PDP governorship candidate (the council’s chair).
Mr Odii explained that the task before the members was to ensure a resounding victory for the party at all levels in Ebonyi.
In a post-inaugural speech, the governorship candidate said that the council had been given a marching order to develop a blueprint embodying the calendar for the campaign rallies in the state within 24 hours.
He added that if elected, his administration would commit to providing good governance anchored on credible leadership, wealth creation and restoring Ebonyi to economic greatness.
“We are here for serious business. We are not joking until the day we are declared as the winners of all the elections in Ebonyi; this is why we have carefully selected you as members for this campaign council. Under our watch, Ebonyi will move tremendously from being among the poorest states in Nigeria to be one of the richest states in the country,” said Mr Odii.
He added, “I have said before and let me reiterate it, that I will use the natural resources Ebonyi is endowed with to develop the state and we are going to use our arable lands to generate wealth through agriculture.”
The PDP gubernatorial flag bearer noted that “when I started my business, I started with zero balance sheet, and I was able to grow it into a thriving business that now cuts across the entire African continent and the world, and I am ready to deploy that business ingenuity to create wealth for Ebonyi people.”
