We went further to appeal to an anti-corruption expert, Barrister Juliet Ibekaku to join the people's revolution by being the Deputy Gubernatorial candidate.The duo are corruption-free and have clean slates, unlike their opponents. With this team, there is hope for Enugu state. We are stopping at nothing in ensuring that this wind of change is sustained. Nobody can rig Enugu elections again. The people are more than ever ready to vote out the corrupt PDP government.”
