While congratulating Ozigbo on his victory in the primary, Obi commended the other contestants that participated in the election for their hard work and sacrifices.
Obi called on the PDP in the state and beyond to pull together as a family towards what he described as “a journey of building a better Anambra State for the future of our children and the true “light of the nation.”
He called on them not to see the conclusion of the gubernatorial primaries “as the end of the beginning, but rather the beginning of the end.”
