Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, has declared that the party will occupy Douglas House in November.<\/p>\n

The PDP National Secretary made the statement on Thursday at his campaign office in Owerri during a reconciliatory meeting with party officials.<\/p>\n

In attendance were all 35 ward chairmen, 27 local government area chairmen, 27 LGA women leaders, and 3 Zone women leaders.<\/p>\n

Anyanwu mocked the chieftains who recently jumped ship, saying the PDP would thrash the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the polls.<\/p>\n

The Imo PDP accused the former executive members of running to the ruling APC to avoid an investigation into alleged mismanagement of party funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who have left the party are free to go. Those of you who have decided to remain in the party, when we win, you will not cry. You will be happy,\u201d Anyanwu said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to take Douglas House. Every support group will work hand in hand with the party and there won\u2019t be segregation or discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank the reconciliatory committee for the work they have done so far. There is no way PDP will lose the election in November.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PDP flagbearer also announced that the party will embark on a \u2018Thank you\u2019 tour to express gratitude to party faithful for their continued support.<\/p>\n

Present at the meeting were deputy governorship candidate, Jones Onyereri, Mike Ikoku, Mike Ahumibe, Henry Onwukwe, Bonny Ebili among several others.<\/p>\n
