Okowa: PDP always wins in Anambra — the same will happen in 2023

Ifeanyi Okowa, vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says the party is confident of winning in Anambra state in the 2023 presidential election.

Okowa spoke during the 20th Ofala festival in Onitsha, Anambra state, on Sunday.

He was represented by Obiora Okonkwo, leader of the PDP presidential campaign council in the state.

Anambra is currently governed by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) while Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), is from the state.

Despite being in the control of APGA, Okowa said Anambra has always been a home to PDP and that the party has always won the majority of votes in the state.

“PDP is fully prepared for the campaign. Anambra has always been the home of PDP, and you may wish to check it,” he said.

“In the past, we have won landslide in all the presidential elections, and almost all the time, we have won majority of the national assembly elections, and I do not think this will be different.

“The campaign committee is coming up in Anambra and we will campaign in every corner of Anambra state, starting from every voter to every polling booth, every ward and every local government.

“I have no doubt that at the end of the day, Anambra people will know that we need to be reconnected to Abuja and the only wire that will give us that connection to the political grid is PDP.

“APGA had controlled the state in past times when PDP had won 95 percent of the votes in the state, both in the presidential and national assembly elections in Anambra state. I think it is going to be the same.

“Anambra people have always voted for the PDP at all times, and I wonder why you feel this time will be different. We are confident that we will win Anambra at the end of the day.”
