"We are taking the 'One Ward, Minimum of One Thousand Votes" campaign to the 326 wards in Anambra State in order to make the campaign's theme 'Win As Always' practical and impactful.

"PDP in Anambra will win as always; but this time, with wide margins, as the campaign committee is targeting a significant percentage increase from previous victories in the state. PDP is working hard to harness and harvest popular votes from the 2.5 million registered voters in the state.
"Since the inauguration of the campaign council and management committee - both led by Senator Ben Ndi Obi, and my humble self (Okonkwo), we have put together a template called "Win As Always" to inspire PDP supporters and stakeholders, and to increase the party's acceptance in Anambra and the Southeast in general.
"With the 'Win As Always' template's success, we believe it's time to increase awareness among our people in rural areas (grassroots) in order to capitalize on the appeal and popularity that the PDP and our party's presidential candidate enjoy among Anambra people, and Igbo people in general," he added.
He expressed optimism that Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, will be victorious in Anambra under the "One Ward, Minimum of One Thousand Votes" campaign project; which he said, is expected to complement the 'Win As Always' which will be launched in all the 326 wards and 5720 polling booths, from January 18, 2023, to January 22, 2023.
"In 2019, Atiku and PDP coveted 84% of total votes in Anambra. In 2023, the party and its presidential candidate look forward to acquiring ten to fifteen percent extra. Nigerians are yearning for the PDP to return to power. We in Anambra state and the Southeast are not left behind. We want the PDP back, and the recovery plan of Atiku Abubakar is sacrosanct," the DG concluded.
