Okonkwo said: “It is this effective representation among others that we are endorsing him for the governorship of Anambra State, fully conscious of the fact that he will do well if elected Governor of Anambra State.

 

We are urging other PDP aspirants to step down for him”.

 

 


Okonkwo said the issue of zoning should not arise because there was no time Anambra people came to agree to zone any political positions.

 

“In any case what matters is capacity of a leader to perform, to deliver democracy dividend to his people” he said.
