The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Anambra chapter would be fielding Dr. Obiora Okonkwo as its candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial District re-run election says  chief Emeka Chukwuogo,  Director-General of Dikeora Campaign Organisation, DCO 

 Chukwuogo,  interacting with journalists in Awka, Anambra State dismissed  the  media outbursts of   Chief Victor Umeh, National Chairman of  the All Progressive  Grand Alliance, APGA on the Supreme Court ruling on the  Senatorial  election which he  described as mischievous and playing to the gallery.

 The DG of DCO, the  campaign organisation of Dr. Obiora Okonkwo 
further counselled Umeh to desist from stepping into  territories he is not familiar with.

 "In one breath, Umeh is interpreting the judgment of the Supreme Court and in another, he is declaring who is qualified or not to stand for election in the Anambra Central Senatorial re-run election.

 "We are not aware, Umeh is working with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to determine who is  qualified or not qualified to stand for the re-run election, his pronouncements are therefore presumptous'', Chukwuogo argued.

 Dsmissing Umeh's claims that the PDP has no candidate for the re-run election, Chukwuogo argued  that but for his  subsisting pre-election suit, Obiora Okonkwo would have been declared the duly elected Senator.

 The DCO boss urged Umeh to desist from misinforming the public  or if he must do so to consult professionals who are better informed than  him in such matters.

 Chukwuogo added that the PDP earned quantum votes in the entire Anambra Central Senatorial district on account of  Okonkwo's presumptive status as the party's lawful candidate.
