The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the campaign was led by the state Chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih.

Addressing the electorate at various points, Orbih said the party decided to bring the campaign close to the people so that they could know the party’s candidates vying for various positions and vote for them.

“That is why we decided to bring our campaign to you in your various business places,’’ he said.

The chairman who described PDP candidates across the state as very sellable urged the electorate to vote for them.

The party chairman stressed that PDP would be fair to all as it would put in place a government of national unity.

He further charged them to stand up against any form of rigging during the exercise.
