The excitement was palpable in Anambra State as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made a significant announcement on Tuesday. After much anticipation and speculation, Jude Ezenwafor emerged as the chosen candidate for the upcoming governorship election slated for 8th November. The decision was revealed by Cornell Onwubuya, the chairperson of the Anambra Governorship Election Congress Committee.
In a gathering filled with hope and enthusiasm at the Women’s Development Centre in Awka, Mr. Ezenwafor stood unopposed, solidifying his position with an impressive 798 ‘yes’ votes from delegates. While 26 votes were deemed invalid, a total of 853 delegates out of 999 accredited members actively participated in this crucial event.
“By the power vested in me and in line with PDP rules, I hereby declare Jude Ezenwafor our candidate,”
announced Mr. Onwubuya, underscoring the adherence to party regulations and electoral guidelines throughout the selection process.
Jude Ezenwafor expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him by emphasizing that the PDP’s mission in Anambra is one of rescue and revitalization. Calling on voters to rally behind their cause to reclaim leadership, he painted a vision of a reinvigorated political landscape under PDP stewardship.
“If you support me, the dream will come true. They say PDP is dead, but I will prove them wrong.”
This declaration resonated with supporters who see Mr. Ezenwafor as a beacon of hope and change for their beloved state. Embracing optimism and determination, he vowed to dispel any doubts about PDP’s relevance and strength in contemporary politics.
A notable highlight was Mr. Chidi Chidebe’s affirmation that embraced unity within PDP ranks leading up to the elections. As the party chairperson in Anambra, he exuded confidence in their collective ability to steer towards victory.
“We are heading into this election rejuvenated, united and strong.”
Mr. Chidebe acknowledged past missteps but emphasized that Anambra was ready to rewrite its political narrative by welcoming back those who strayed from PDP’s fold before realizing its intrinsic value.
He underscored how many disillusioned individuals returned after experiencing disenchantment with alternative parties—a testament to PDP’s enduring appeal as Nigeria’s most liberal party renowned for its robust governance structures.
“Only the PDP can defeat the ruling party here.”
With unwavering conviction, Mr. Chidebe rallied participants to join forces under PDP’s umbrella as they embarked on a journey bound by common goals—an aspiration echoed by many eager citizens yearning for positive change within their local government areas.
As political fervor swept through Anambra State following these developments, residents eagerly anticipated witnessing how these strategic moves would shape both immediate outcomes and long-term political landscapes across Nigeria.
