From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State has bounced back to the front burner of the state politics and would return to power in 2027, says its governorship candidate, Dr. Kelechi Anosike.
Dr. Anosike made the disclosure in Umuahia during a stakeholders meeting of the party, in which he presented Abraham Amah, the state chairman of PDP, as his running mate.
The Abia PDP governorship candidate said the party was not aiming at anything less than victory in the state in next year’s election.
“For us as a party, the only thing we see is victory. In front of us is victory, and we are not making a mistake about it.
Everything we have done is intentional, everything we have done is well thought through. We considered all possibilities, considered all challenges before we stepped into it.
“One good thing about what we are doing is that our presence is already unsettling the system, the impact is felt, and we are just about to start. So, it’s already shaking and PDP is suddenly back to the front burner. We are now being considered again as a major threat. “We are back and we have tested what it means to be out of power for three years. And we cannot afford one extra year of it. So we are roaring back fully”, he said.
