“We look forward to seeing a situation when other candidates will gladly congratulate the successful candidate,” Bishop Onuoha pleaded.
He appealed to the contestants to implored their supporters not to destroy other contestants’ posters and billboards, stressing that the stories flying in the state were very disturbing.
Addressing the congregation, the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, said his attitude and thinking were people-oriented, promising that if elected, his interest would be youth empowerment.
