2021: Anambra Governorship Poll Will Be Tough For PDP To Win – Obi

Former governor and vice presidential candidate of PDP in the
2019 election, Mr Peter Obi, has predicted a tough battle for PDP
ahead of the Anambra State governorship election.

Obi who stated this yesterday during a meeting of PDP South East
zonal working committee in Anambra State advised party members to
embark on a vigorous mobilisation of support for the party across
the grassroots ahead of the poll.

He particularly advised all PDP aspirants for the governorship
election to commence grassroots mobilisation rather than
concentrating on wooing delegates at the governorship
primaries.

He added that it would be a waste of resources for whoever
emerges as party candidate to fail the governorship election
proper.

The former two-term governor of Anambra State under the
incumbent All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), said Anambra is a
PDP state but the conduct of party stakeholders was responsible for
its inability to win the governorship seat which it lost in the
2003 polls.

“PDP has the potential to win the governorship of Anambra State,
but potential is not win”, Obi stated.

He charged the leadership of the party in the 326 wards of the
state to ensure that the party has a register of at least 500
bonafide members who are committed PDP members, stating that unless
the party has committed supporters the coming guber poll in the
state would be tough for the party to win.
