AnambraDecides: Abaribe, Peter Obi take Ozigbo campaign to Onitsha market

Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has called on Anambra voters to support and ensure the victory of Valentine Ozigbo at the November 6 governorship election in the state.
Mr Ozigbo is the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the election.
Anambra’s former Governor Peter Obi also joined in making the call when the duo led the PDP campaign trail to the Onitsha Drug Market, Onitsha, Anambra.
Mr Abaribe said Mr Ozigbo, is a long-time associate and a man with strong character who would provide good leadership in Anambra and in the entire South-East if elected.
He told traders at the market that as an individual, Mr Ozigbo had always been a defender of the Igbo cause and would continue to ensure justice for the Southeast and every part of Nigeria.
He said he could vouch for Mr Ozigbo’s passion and commitment to improving the lot of the South-East zone of Nigeria.
“I am only one voice, and I assure you that Ozigbo will be another voice that will ensure that we are treated right,’’ he said.
In his speech, Mr Obi said there was a need for committed leaders in the South-East zone and that Mr Ozigbo was suitably qualified as he is young, energetic and innovative.
The vice-presidential candidate of the PDP at the 2019 general elections said the November 6 Anambra governorship election was crucial not just for Anambra but for the political future of the South-East zone.
Mr Obi stressed that Anambra must align with the PDP, which had always protected its interests.
Mr Ozigbo, immediate past President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Transcorp Plc., promised to revolutionise the economy of Anambra if elected by creating business clusters.
