PDP elders in early groundwork for Anambra 2021 - The Nation Newspaper

Sam Egburonu, Associate Editor, reports that leaders of Peoples Democratic Party have commenced early moves to win Anambra State’s governorship election in 2021 even as stakeholders give conditions for unity

It would be recalled that in 2007, the party fielded Senator Andy Uba as its candidate. The irony of the hard fate that befell PDP then could be seen in the fact that though Uba was initially declared winner of the election and actually sworn-in as the Executive Governor, he and his party lost out when the court ruled that Obi, who as at then had spent only one year into his term as governor, ‘had the right to complete his four-year mandate.

To resolve the matter, we gathered that post-election fence mending meetings were held in Awka, Lagos and Abuja. These were part of the efforts to regain power in 2013. Also, though Obaze was then supported by former governor, Peter Obi, who had then left APGA and had joined PDP, he still lost election to Obiano.

Senator Ben Obi was quoted as calling on members of the party to join hands to raise resources for the party as leaving it to billionaires would mean bringing the party on its knees.
