Their first port of call was Achalla, the headquarters tpdpof Awka North Local Council, and later move to Awka South, Anaocha, Njikoka, Idemili North and Dunukofia councils.

   From Achalla, the campaign train rode in grand style into Awka, the headquarters of Awka South council. They also used the opportunity to pay a courtesy call to the traditional ruler and monarch of Awka, Obi Gibson Nwosu.

  The turn out was awesome as speaker after speaker acknowledged that PDP in still very much on ground in the zone/state.

  Uba, in his speech, acknowledged and appreciated President Goodluck Jonathan for what he has done for the state and Southeast zone. He, therefore, urged all citizens in the state to vote massively for Jonathan and all the PDP candidates so as to continue enjoying the special attention of the Federal Government. 

 Okonkwo, who got a standing ovation, assured the people that his initial stint at the National Assembly opened a floodgate of goodies for the state, saying his return to the senate would unleash even more development on the zone. A return would also put him on a better position of advantage as a ranked senator, with so much privileges and benefits for the constituency, he said.

Nweke confirmed that he has a lot of programmes already running under his Madam Esther Nweke Foundation, through which he has been reaching the less privileged.  

  He stated that with the instrumentality of the National Assembly he would cover more mileage and attract the Federal Government and other international donors to the constituency.
