Ekwunife said she left the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the PDP immediately Obi was nominated because she could not stand campaigning against him.

“Peter Obi is a man of exceptional personality and character, he is a global citizen, and you are lucky to have him as your son.

“Nigeria needs his services now; that was why the entire nation talked about his nomination.

“Peter Obi should not be campaigning in Agulu, as a matter of fact Anambra should vote him 99 per cent.

“He is our common project, we should also vote other PDP candidates because he needs to move with his party people,” she said.
