Our folks’s vote should be a part of the vote that can make the president win in a landslide. We gave just a bit over 5,000 votes to the president in 2023, however this time we’ll do higher, and Anambra votes should rely, and after the election we will probably be on the desk to inform the president, this was what we had been in a position to do, and that is what we wish you to do for us.
