The Peoples Democratic Party’s Ebonyi State chapter established its Governorship Campaign Council on Friday, with the task of leading the party to victory in the March 11, 2023 governorship election.
The more than 100-member council was inaugurated by the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Ifeanyi Odii, who also serves as the council’s chairman.
Odii emphasised that the GCC members’ role was to work together to secure the party’s resounding triumph at all levels.
He handed the council a marching order to create a timetable for the state’s campaign rallies within 24 hours.
According to him, if elected his administration would commit to the provision of credible leadership; create wealth and restore Ebonyi to economic greatness.
He said, We are here for serious business, we are not joking until the day we are declared as the winners of all the elections in Ebonyi; this is why we have carefully selected you for this campaign council.
“Under our watch, Ebonyi will move tremendously towards being one of the richest states in the country.
“I have said before and let me reiterate it that I will use the natural resources Ebonyi is endowed with to develop the state and we are going to use our arable lands to generate wealth.
“I said that when I started my business, I started with zero balance sheet and was able to grow it into a thriving business that now cuts across Africa, and the world and I are ready to deploy that business ingenuity to create wealth for Ebonyi people.”

He congratulated members of the council for making the list noting that more members would be injected into the council reminding them that there was work to do.
On the rumoured delisting of all the candidates of the party from the website of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Odii noted that it was the handiwork of the opposition who were afraid of the influence and popularity of the PDP in the state.
He added, “The opposition in the mischievous propaganda was trying to confuse the people but the truth remains that the people love us and we remain the candidates for the elections.”
