He said it has also been agreed that no matter the outcome of the primaries for the election, members have also vowed to work together for the oll.
Okeke said in the statement: “The National Working Committee today held a meeting with stakeholders of
the Anambra State PDP as part of preparations for the November 16th Governorship election in the state. The stakeholders were drawn from
all known groups and tendencies within the party in the state. After exhaustive deliberations, the meeting resolved as follows:
“That all members of Anambra State PDP will work in unity to ensure victory for the Party in the forthcoming Governorship election in Anambra State.
“That all those who have cases in court shall withdraw such cases failing which the party will take severe disciplinary measures against them. No member of the party in Anambra state shall institute any suit on any matter affecting the conduct of the forthcoming congresses and primary election for the November governorship election without allowing the

“No matter the outcome of the primary election, no member shall engage in anti-party activity but all aspirants shall work together to deliver the
