- From Lawrence Njoku ( Enugu)

ENUGU State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, yesterday, expressed confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) would win with a landslide in the 2023 governorsh­ip election in the state, citing credential­s, as well as popularity of the party’s governorsh­ip candidate, Dr. Peter Mbah.

He also said that the PDP government has performed creditably in the past 20 years.

While inaugurati­ng members of the state PDP Campaign Council ahead of the 2 023 general elections,

Ugwuanyi said that his administra­tion has performed beyond expectatio­ns of the people.

The governor charged the Campaign Council, as well as members of the party, to see it as their responsibi­lity to campaign for the party in all nooks and crannies of the state.

He urged them to be peaceful, law- abiding and civil in their activities.

He said: “The 2023 political calendar has long begun, and the Independen­t National Electoral Commission ( INEC) had long lifted the ban on election campaigns.

“More so, the constituti­on and inaugurati­on of the Campaign Organisati­on, which would effectivel­y drive our campaign for victo-ry of all our candidates in the 2023 general elections, ha ve become a compelling necessity.

“Our party has constitute­d a robust state Campaign Organisati­on under the leadership of Chief Ikeje Asogwa, the former state Chairman of our party, as the Director General.

“The organisati­on, composed with battle- tested, competent and experience­d politician­s, will ensure that our candidates achieve early and comfortabl­y win in the 2023 polls.

“It is also my expectatio­n that our campaign will leverage the stellar performanc­e of the current PDP government in our state, the goodwill of our party and the intimidati­ng credential­s and general acceptabil­ity of the flag bearer of our party to achieve landslide victory for all our candidates in the 2023 general elections.”
