According to Chidi Chidebe, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, the party is prepared for the November gubernatorial election.

Chidebe promised to display certain party insignia purchased for women as uniforms during a gathering of the party’s female leaders at the state party office in Awka.

The promise came after many people expressed concerns that the party may not field a candidate in the upcoming election, particularly because the majority of the party’s previous candidates have joined other parties.

But reacting to this, Chidebe said: “What we have been doing in the past four months that we emerged is to reorganize the party, set the right structure that will help us to make an impact in the election.

“Our aim is to build a solid party and get the foundation right before going for election. Our aim is not to just win the election because if we go into the election without preparation, we will lose and we may continue to lose, but if we put the right foundation before going for election, we will win.

“As for the for the forthcoming election, we will contest and we will do so strongly. We came second last election, so now we should be talking of coming first.”

Speaking of the exit of the party by some former governorship aspirants, Chidebe said: “I used to tell people, don’t leave your house where you’re a landlord to become tenant elsewhere.

“People should not be jumping from party to party because they think there is a crisis in their party. In every gathering of humans, there must be frictions. What is lacking in PDP today is spirit of sportsmanship.

“When (Val) Ozigbo was here (PDP), he accused us of betraying him, but he joined LP and saw what was more than what he saw in PDP. He has now moved to APC. Today many people who were castigating PDP have seen the difference between PDP and APC.

“If you compare the development in states where PDP governors hold away and compare them with Anambra, you will see that we are far behind. PDP states are way better. That is why Anambra, Nigeria need to return to PDP.”

In order to safeguard the party, he asked the women to join him in forming a prayer group. On its platform, he also promised that a large number of influential people were already lining up to run for the state’s governorship.

As the next election approaches, female members of the Anambra PDP were urged by the party’s woman head, Mrs. Calista Nkiru Adimachukwu, to start organizing for a membership drive and to show their support for the party.
