Speaking further, Ojukwu whose arrival in an APGA helicopter threw the venue into a frenzy as people struggled to catch the glimpse of him, said he would personally be in the field on the day of election and warned all those that believe in rigging to keep off the state. He also commended the governor as an astute manager of men and resources.
Earlier, National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh, who commended the people of the area for the overwhelming turn out at the rally, encouraged them to also turn out en masse to cast their votes. He said that no other contestant would command the type of crowd that attended the event in their own senatorial districts, not to talk of Obi’s senatorial district.
Describing the massive turn out as the fruits of the good work the governor is doing in all parts of the state, Umeh noted that a vote for Obi would guarantee the continuation of the good work.
