Vice National Chairman of Social Democratic Party (SDP), South East, Chief Arinze Ekeleme, has said his party will win the November governorship election in Anambra State.
Ekeleme, who spoke to Daily Trust in Awka, Anambra State, said the party has adopted strategies on how to take over Anambra State government house and other states in the South East geopolitical zone.
He said one of the strategies designed to take over Anambra was throwing open the governorship ticket so that the best candidate will emerge and fly the party’s ticket.
According to him, the party will also key into the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and All Progressives Congress (APC) to win the state governorship election come November 6, 2021.
There are fears in Abia State that the Peoples Democratic Party may suffer the fate of the All Progressives Congress in 2023 if it jettisons its Charter of Equity, Ugo Aliogo writes
You learn more from defeat than victory. This famous Japanese proverb treasured by Korean marketing wizkids should make lots of sense to the stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State after their thumping triumph in the recent Aba Federal Constituency by-election. There is the temptation to be swept away by the scintillating breeze of Chimaobi Ebisike’s emphatic 10,322 votes over Mascot Uzor Kalu’s 3,674.
While the All Progressives Congress (APC) is licking its wounds from the crushing Aba defeat, PDP has hard lessons to learn from the victory. Hubris, the ultimate destroyer of the Warrior who ignores the source of his strength, awaits PDP unless it avoids pushing the self-destruct button in the manner APC did.
