The Abia State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Thursday, inaugurated its campaign council ahead of the 2023 general election.
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, while addressing the council members at the Ochendo International Conference Centre, Umuahia, the venue of the event, charged them to approach the forthcoming election with the seriousness it deserves and shun complacency.
He urged aggrieved party members in the state to sheath their swords and support the party to victory, as the PDP has all it takes to protect the interest of all members.
Ikpeazu reminded members of the council that they were supposed to sell the party’s message for next year’s general election, as they were carefully selected since they can harness the resources to win the 2023 election.
The Governor pledged to support the council with necessary logistics to make their job easier and assured the party of total victory in next year’s elections.
