Anambra 2021: Present me as your candidate or forget about govt house – Ekwunife tells PDP

The Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District , Mrs Uche Ekwunife has asked her party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to field her as the candidate for the Anambra governorship election to ensure victory.

She said she had the capacity to defeat the candidates of all the political parties in the race, put together.

Anambra State governorship election is expected to hold in November,2021.

Addressing PDP ward chairmen in Awka, the Anambra state capital, Ekwunife said nothing would stop her from becoming the next governor of the state if she picks the PDP ticket.

She said, “I have the capacity and capability to defeat the candidates of other parties put together .

“This election is like a war; this is not ordinary election, we are going to battle to remove the party( APGA) in power and when you are going for such battle, you don’t need your second best but the best. We cannot put our best on bench.

“Our target is government house, we must go with our best, the tested, trusted and okayed to deliver, which is me.

“Let us do what will take us to the government house and I’m presenting myself to seek the number one position in the state and I will take PDP to the Agu Awka government house because I know that I have the capacity and capability to win election for PDP.

“Once I have your ticket, I have won the election for you. If you want government house ,Iyom( Ekwunife) will give you government house and if I have the PDP ticket, let all the political parties in Anambra state present one candidate, I will defeat all of them. I don’t think I have any challenge winning election.

“All I need is your support and I will be there, I have done it before and will do it again.Give me your ticket, that is all I asked and it is the partnership that will take us to government house. PDP is lucky that the present governor, Chief Willie Obiano ,is not a politician.

“We have been in opposition in the state for 16 years, we cannot continue being in opposition in Anambra State.”.

She said zoning the governorship slot to the Anambra South Senatorial District favoured her most because she was born in the district and married to a man in Anambra Central Senatorial zone.

She added,” Some people said there is zoning, assuming and not conceding there is zoning, though, PDP said there is no zoning,but if Anambra people say there is zoning, it favours me most.

“Women have dual domiciles . I am from Anambra South and married to Anambra Central. A woman can represent her people either from her place of birth or her husband’s place.”
