NDC Sets 98% Vote Target for Peter Obi in Anambra

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has set a target of securing 98% of the votes in Anambra for its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the upcoming elections scheduled for January 16, 2027. This ambitious goal was announced by party chairman Ikem Uzoezie on November 4 during the inauguration of the Anambra chapter of the National Campaign Council for the Peter Obi and Rabiu presidential ticket in Awka.

Former member Hon. Ifeanyi Ibezi was appointed as State Campaign Coordinator, with Paulinus Akabogu Izuchukwu and retired DIG Celestine Okoye serving as State Campaign Secretary and head of the State Directorate of Security, respectively. Uzoezie acknowledged the significant opposition to Obi's candidacy but expressed confidence in the newly appointed members' ability to achieve the target.

Ibezi urged members to engage with their communities to build support, and a major homecoming rally for Obi is planned in Anambra soon. Hon. Afam Ogene and Hon. Peter Uzokwe (Rep, Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo) also called for increased participation from women and youth in the campaign.
