She said the PDP remained a party to beat in the next general elections, adding that her antecedents and track record placed her above other candidates.

According to her, the forthcoming election would afford her the opportunity to consolidate on her achievements in the Senate.
Former Anambra PDP chairman Sir Ndubuisi Nwobu, urged party men and women to remain steadfast and work assiduously for the overall victory of the candidates in the next elections.
A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Charles Odedo eulogised Senator Ekwunife for her giant strides in governance.
