David-Chyddy Eleke in Awka
Former President Goodluck Jonathan, governors on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) including Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose and his Rivers State counterpart, Mr Nyesom Wike, are expected in Onitsha Monday for the commencement of the campaigns of the party’s candidate for the Anambra governorship election, Mr. Oseloka Obaze.
The Director General of the party’s candidate’s campaign Organisation, Mr Joe-Martin Uzodike, who addressed members of the party at the campaign office in Awka during the inauguration of the local government campaign team said the party has engaged in massive mobilisation.
Though Uzodike did not mention those expected at the ceremony, THISDAY gathered from a source close to the party hierarchy in the state that all the governors on the party’s platform have been invited for the event, including the former president, Jonathan.
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) had a week ago commenced its campaign with a mammoth crowd in attendance, while daring other political parties to do same to announce their popularity if they could.
A former national chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, had said that it was by the mammoth crowd putting other parties on notice to steer clear as the state belonged to APGA.
