The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday in Awka inaugurated its national campaign council in Anambra.
Mr Ifeanyi Ibezi and Chief Innocent Egwuoba are the coordinator and deputy coordinator, respectively, while Mr Paulinus Akabogu will serve as Secretary of the council.
Also Inaugurated by Mr Ikem Uzoezie, NDC Chairman in Anambra who is also member of the council were Mr. Kingsley Nwafor, South Senatorial Zone Coordinator; Mr Chuka Ezenwunne, Central Senatorial Zone Coordinator; and Chigbo Enwezor, North Senatorial Zone Coordinator.
The Council also includes all serving elected officials, all Senatorial candidates, all House of Representatives candidates, and all State Assembly candidates among other directorates.
Addressing the Council, Uzoezie congratulated them and charged them to give the campaign their best.
He expressed confidence in their ability to deliver NDC candidates across all contested positions in Anambra.
He said the target was to give its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, an upward of 1.5 million votes and ensure that every candidate of NDC was delivered.
In his acceptance speech, Ibezi said they would work towards making Anambra an NDC controlled state.
He said the NDC was fazed by the attack on its presidential candidate, Obi, as a divine project adding that attacks on him would not distract them from issues.
“We have a huge task but we are happy that we are marketing the best products in this election.
“We are not worried by the negative campaigns going on against our candidates here in Anambra, we are determined to take over this state, we are democrats,” he said.
Some stakeholders of the party including Chief Afam Ogene, member representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency in Awka attended the event and delivered goodwill messages.
