PDP: We’ll Win Imo Guber Election to Reinvent Ourselves in South-East

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Campaign Council for the November 11 governorship election and Governor of Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, and the party’s governorship candidate in the election, Senator Samuel Anyanwu on Saturday pledged to ensure that the party wins the election for the general purpose of reinventing the PDP in South-east.
They also pledged to reduce the pains of the people of Imo State and bring back good governance in the state.
Both spoke at a meeting of the Imo State PDP National Campaign Council in Abuja on Saturday.
Speaking earlier, Governor Lawal said:  “Our party, the PDP, has placed a huge trust in us which we must tirelessly uphold by ensuring victory at the poll come November 11.


“Our objective is to secure victory and this is a crucial task that must be done because to secure victory at the polls will reinvent the PDP in the southeast.
“We will be very focused and determined, we pledge. We shall overcome,” Lawal pledged.
He continued: “The victory of Senator Anyanwu is to reinvigorate the PDP in Imo which is the heartland of Igbo.”
Also speaking, the governorship candidate, Senator Anyanwu, noted that he had embarked on reconciliation within the 27 local government areas of the state since his emergence as a candidate.
According to him, “Since my emergence, we have been trying to put things together. The party under the state chairman, set up a reconciliation committee headed by a very known chieftain of the party who has touched almost everybody to bring peace or reconcile everybody in our party. Especially those that are in crisis have been reconciled.
“You know in every party, it’s not everybody that is reconcilable but you have to keep moving and we will keep moving to continue to reconcile but without being distracted.


“We have 27 LGs in Imo State and immediately I emerged as the candidate of the party, we embarked on a ‘thank you’ tour. Out of the 27 LGs we have toured 24 remaining three, which we are going to conclude by Wednesday next week,” he explained.
 He added: “The places the sitting governor cannot even go, we have gone there and come back.
“This election is not about me and the incumbent, it is about Imo people, Imo State, and the sitting governor.
“This is because Imo is traditionally a PDP state.  What happened, in the last three years was an aberration, PDP won the election and was taken away by the Supreme Court. So, we know that PDP in every nook and cranny of Imo State is PDP.  PDP is a party that has its fabrics among the people.
“I am the person that the incumbent governor will hand over to by January 15. We know ourselves. We were together in the Senate. There is nothing that he knows that I don’t know.”


Meanwhile, Lawal has said the reported reconciliation between Senator Rochas Okorocha and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma poses no threat to the chances of the PDP in the forthcoming governorship election.
He said this while fielding questions from journalists, after the formal inauguration of the council in Abuja yesterday.
In response to a question on the reconciliation between the two All Progressives Congress (APC), chieftains, Lawal said: “You know, Dauda will not be intimidated, I went through that in Zamfara State, Imo is not going to be anything new.”
Speaking about ongoing reconciliation in the Imo State chapter of the PDP, he said, “We in the party are always committed.
 “As we always say, as a party, we know there will always be issues. What matters is how we resolve them. We are on top of the situation.
“I urge the people of Imo to remain resolute victory will be ours come November 11, in sha Allah.”
