His words:
“You are all aware that the National Convention of the PDP took place on Saturday in Abuja, and with it, the PDP has sent a clear message across the country that we are ready to take back our nation.
“As PDP is planning to take back the nation and we shall surely do that, Anambra people - the men, the women, the youths - must first take back Anambra state.
“Therefore, you must be the front runners because when you take back Anambra state you have given us the momentum to take back the nation.
“It's time for us to believe in ourselves; it's a time for us to rebuild Anambra and rebuilding Anambra means that we must bring in PDP back to the governance of Anambra, and doing so, you have done yourself a lot of good.”
The governor told the people that God had already given them the opportunity to change the situation in Anambra through PDP and appealed to them not to throw it away.
Writing on his Facebook page after attending the rally, Governor Okowa said:
“Earlier today, I was in Anambra state for our party’s grand rally ahead of Saturday’s election.
“At the rally, I called on our party members in the state to unite behind our candidate in the election.”
