"Your Excellency, I am humbled by the reception I have received today. I am also grateful for your wise counsel and for promising to actively support my quest to improve the lives of my people," Ozigbo said.

"The election is not going to be a walk in the park, as the PDP is up against an incumbent state government and a candidate with the backing of the Federal Government.

“So far, we have visited all the communities in the 21 local government areas of the state and have endeared our vision to the people of Anambra. Though our chances are bright, we have to be consistent in selling our message of prosperity and transformation.

“I can not do this alone and would be relying on the support of leaders like you who have gone through the process. Together, the PDP will achieve success,” Ozigbo, a multiple award-winning global CEO, declared.
