Ifeanyichukwu noted that Anyanwu, a former Senator and incumbent PDP National Secretary, “is well prepared for the task ahead”.

The statement urged INEC, security agencies and other stakeholders to ensure a level-playing field for a free and fair exercise.

Anyanwu, a two-term Imo House of Assembly member, has vowed to unseat Governor Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
