People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State on Thursday assured that candidates with issue-based campaigns would have brighter chances in the next year\u2019s governorship election in the state.<\/p>\n
The Chairman of the party, Chief Ndubuisi Nwosu stated this when a governorship aspirant, Chief Ugochukwu, Okeke, visited the party\u2019s Secretariat in Awka to declare his intention to contest in the poll on the party\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n
He said the era of money bags politics in the party was over, insisting that credibility would form the bases on the choice of the governorship candidate of the party in the poll.<\/p>\n
He advised aspirants to avoid campaign of calumny, assuring of a free, fair, and credible primary.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI wish everybody will see this election the way I see it. This election is not for money bags. It\u2019s not about money but credibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cCredibility of the candidate will be the major factor to consider in choosing our candidate. The candidate should be a grassroots person who understands the heartbeats of party members and those of the people of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nwobu, while wishing Okeke well in his ambition, enjoined him not to abandon the party in the event of failing to clinch the party\u2019s ticket.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Okeke expressed confidence in his ability to clinch the party\u2019s ticket.<\/p>\n
He stressed the place of unity and truth among members of the party, saying such virtues would guarantee a repeat of Edo\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n
The aspirant who contested the same seat in 2013 on the same platform, said women and youths would dominate his government if voted to power.<\/p>\n
