According to him, the PDP flag bearer will further commission the presidential campaign office at the Kwata Junction in Awka; from where he will proceed to Senator Uche Ekwunife Event Center for an interactive session with stakeholders from across the state; adding that the visit would be wrapped up with the campaign flag-off at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
Why PDP will win Anambra
Flanked by other members of the party's campaign council in the state, Chief Dan Ulasi, Senator Uche Ekwunife and others, Okonkwo further buttressed the importance of Anambra state supporting PDP in the forthcoming election.
He said.
"PDP is Anambra state, and Anambra is PDP. The party has been wining in Anambra State in every presidential election. I believe that 2023 will not be an exception.
"PDP favours the Southeast more than any other region. This is because, 95% of Southeast members in the national assembly are there on the PDP platform; and it has been so since 1999."
He further said that it would be dangerous for the southeast to look away from PDP in the 2023 general election for any reason whatsoever.
He also used the forum to clarify that the party has constituted a team to manage and resolve the ongoing rift involving the G-5 governors and the party, and expressed optimism that the impasse would be put to rest very soon.

On Tuesday, December 13, 2022, a prominent women's group in the state, Umu Ada Ojoto, pledged to support and vote for all Labour Party candidates in the 2023 general elections.
