The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, is set to visit Anambra State on Thursday, for the kick-off of the party’s campaign.

Naija News reports that the Director of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council in the state, Obiora Okonkwo, stated this in a press conference in Awka on Wednesday.

Okonkwo, flanked by the Chairman of the Council, Chief Ben Obi, said the presidential campaign kick-off in Awka will prove that Anambra was a PDP state.

He said that upon arrival in Awka, Atiku and his team will pay a visit to the state governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo at the Government House, Awka.

Okonkwo said after the parley with the governor, Atiku will further have an interactive session with traditional rulers, led by the Chairman of the South East Traditional Rulers Council, and traditional ruler of Onitsha, Obi Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe.

He also revealed that a special team has been put in place and is working to resolve the rift between their candidate and the G5 governors.

Okonkwo said efforts were on to reconcile Atiku with the G5 governors, and that the Anambra State was also poised to give Atiku total victory in the 2023 election.

He added that Atiku would further commission the presidential campaign office at the Kwata Junction in Awka; from where he would proceed to Senator Uche Ekwunife Event Center for an interactive session with stakeholders from across the state.

According to Okonkwo, the visit would be wrapped up with the campaign flag-off at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
