The lawmakers said: “Given the popularity of our party and candidate in this election, I have no iota of doubt that with the concerted effort of all, nothing will be in the way of the PDP to take over governance in Anambra State on November 6, 2021, in line with the wishes and aspiration of the Anambra people. Once more, congratulations to the PDP and the people of Anambra State.”
