Imo: INEC lists Anyanwu, Onyereri as PDP governor, deputy governorship candidates

As party awaits INEC’s timetable to flag off campaigns

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Friday, published the names of gubernatorial candidates of political parties ahead of the November 11 governorship election in Imo state.

The Commission confirmed the candidature of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Dr Jones Onyereri as his running mate.

“This goes a long way to prove that our governorship candidate, Sen Samuel Anyanwu is well prepared for the task ahead,” a spokesman for Anywanwu’s campaign Dumebi Ifeanyichukwu said in a statement.

While other guber candidates in the state are yet to pick their running mates, the PDP governorship candidate not only forwarded the details of his running mate, Rt Hon Jones Onyereri, PhD but has set up a Manifesto/Strategic Communication Committee charged with the responsibility of articulating a people-oriented Program for his administration.

“Imo will breathe of fresh air across the state, Sen Samuel Anyanwu and Rt Hon Jones Onyereri are Ready To Make Imo Safe Again,” Ifeanyichukwu said.

Political pundits are of the view that the joint ticket of Sen Samuel Anyanwu and Rt Hon Jones Onyereri, PhD as candidate and deputy Governorship candidate of PDP will spring up surprises during the guber polls.
