Former vice-presidential candidate Peter Obi has congratulated technocrat Valentine Ozigbo on emerging as the party’s candidate ahead of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State.
Mr Obi, in a statement on Sunday by his media office, also commended the other contestants that participated in the election for their hard work and sacrifices.
He called on them not to see the conclusion of the governorship primaries held on Saturday in Awka “as the end of the beginning, but rather the beginning of the end.”
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, further said: “I thank the National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, who, together with his leadership, has remained neutral. I congratulate the PDP family in Anambra State who has given the state the most peaceful and organised process of choosing a candidate.”
He also called on PDP in the state and beyond “to pull together as a family” towards what he described as “a journey of building a better Anambra State for the future of our children and the true light of the nation.”
