He solicited with Anambra people to support his ambition, stating that only MPPP has what it takes to take Anambra State to the land of glory.
“We have people-friendly manifesto and programmes which if implemented, would benefit the state more than what any other government, past and present, had offered”, he said; adding that, “APC cannot win governorship election in Anambra State; PDP has not yet put its house in order as to stand for and win the forthcoming election in Anambra. APGA is already dead by reason of leadership crisis rocking it. By the time I take over after November 2017 election, APGA will be completely dead because its grip is limited to Anambra”.
