Saraki said that PDP would respect the authority of each arms of government and applied principle of equity in all its programmes.

Mrs Uche Ekwunife, PDP Anambra Central Senatorial Candidate urged the crowd not to be misled by empty promises from the ruling party.

She said that any vote to the PDP that would translate to its victory would not be regretted and urged the electorate not to vote wrongly.

Ekwunife advised the electorate to avoid void votes by thumbing on the umbrella symbol of the party in the ballot paper.

Chief Chris Uba, Candidate of the party for Anambra South Senatorial zone said that PDP had come to restore the lost glory of the nation.
