Okigwe

From George Onyejiuwa, Owerri

The National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has said Okigwe Zone does not need a ‘house boy’ as its senator in 2027. He spoke at the flag-off of the party’s National Assembly campaigns in Okigwe.

Anyanwu presented flags to Mike Ejiogu, Ikenna Emeruem and Chris Onye, and said their pedigree made the PDP favourite to win the zone. He described the party as the only one that knows how to take care of people.

He urged members to protect their votes in the January 16 presidential and National Assembly elections, stand their ground against thugs, stay back after voting and follow results to collation centres to prevent manipulation.

Ejiogu, a real estate businessman and philanthropist, promised through legislation to drive job creation, infrastructure and human capital development, and welfare support for vulnerable households. He decried high levels of hunger and poverty in the zone.

Emeruem, candidate for Okigwe South, and Onye, candidate for Okigwe North, promised quality representation. House of Assembly candidates also flagged off their campaigns, and party leaders, including Austine Nwachukwu, the state chairman, attended.
