The event was attended by wives of five governors, Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, wife of the Minister of Transport and Aviation, Mrs. Judith Amaechi, among others.

In his speech, Okorocha expressed disgust over what the authorities of the APC did to him and some members of the party in the state, noting that the Action Alliance (AA) governorship standard -bearer, also present at the campaign, Chief Uche Nwosu, was the person they knew.

He will deliver Buhari. It is not anti-party. It is perfect alliance. We will resist imposition of candidate in this land. We have an understanding with President Muhammadu Buhari and he has not been found wanting.”
