Odefa who expressed satisfaction with the progress of PDP in Anambra, promised that the zonal leadership of the party would ensure that the primary election produced the best and most popular candidate while advising the money bag aspirants to deploy their money in lobbying delegates and not try to bribe any leader of the party, declaring that money would not play any role.
In his address, the state party Chairman Ndubuisi Nwobu said the party remained united and strong more than ever before in the state insisting that the party could no longer afford the distractions of the litigations, and urged aggrieved members to sheathe their swords for peace to reign.
He urged the aspirants to have confidence in his leadership to conduct a free, credible and acceptable primary which he said, would be the selling point of PDP in the election.
Also, Chief Peter Obi the former PDP Vice Presidential Candidate in the 2019 election called on the aspirants to stop competing against one another rather see the ruling-All Progressives Grand Alliance as their common opponent in the election.
Obi also said that aspirants should shun social media hype and get to work by going to villages and electorate to make a commitment to what they intend to do for them if elected.
He then called on the party leadership to design programmes for a tour of communities in the state, while announcing a donation of N100,000 to each of the 326 electoral wards as Christmas gift and N4 million monthly stipend to the state executive to facilitate its activities.
