Winston Udeh, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) frontline aspirant and leading contender for Anambra state government house on Nov. 6 gubernatorial poll has begun full consultations with the party stakeholders in the state.
Udeh started with town hall and grassroots engagement events at the early stage of his consultations in all the 21 local government areas of the state.
This was followed by meetings with prominent stakeholders in the north, central and south Senatorial districts over the past months to share his vision to move the state back to positive development.
Others are religious leaders, youth leaders, women leaders, secretaries, vice-chairmen and chairmen of the party from wards, local and state governments, some of who have been neglected for so long.
While revealing his plans as he unveiled his manifesto to the PDP stakeholders, officials, and stalwarts at several fora, Udeh said he is desired to run an all-inclusive government for the development of the state in all sectors.
The guber aspirant at each meeting unveiled his 7-point manifesto agenda, on human capital development, education, healthcare, agriculture, law and order, security and environment.
He said he had the capacity and capability to lead the state to boost the number “A” state and “Light of the Nation” to enviable height if given the mandate.

According to him, PDP must avoid the bickering and disunity that has bedeviled the party for the past 16 years.
“We have to take more proactive steps if we are to wrestle power from the incumbent ruling party.
“PDP has tried the same methods in the past and look where they brought us. The forthcoming election presents a fresh opportunity for us to try something new, something different to obtain a different result,” Udeh said.
