Nwobu noted that Ozigbo attracted the largest members of the party to his consultation, an indication that he is generally accepted.
In a brief interview with journalists, Ozigbo explained that he had continued to consult with his people and the PDP members at all levels to enable him to tidy up his services as CEO of a conglomerate before jumping into politics. He reassured them that at the appropriate time he would make his official declaration known after the ongoing consultations.
He, however, reiterated that he was 100 per cent ready to serve Anambra state as Governor under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and would make his declaration at the appropriate time.
He informed that his successes recorded in Transcorp in its various sectors, Energy, hospitality and power will be translated into the growth of Anambra State. Galvanizing the billionaires from Anambra state for the common good of the state is also top on his list.
