The chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP contact and Mobilization Committee, Imo State, Chief Jerry Chukwueke has declared that the expectation of Imo People in 2015 Gubernatorial election in the state is that the charter of equity which allows for each of the three political zones to test power at the centre, is maintained.
Speaking to Trumpeta in his Residence at Awaka in Owerri North LGA, Chukwueke disclosed that for equity, fairness and justice, Owerri people should be allowed to produce who hoists PDP’s flag in the next governorship election in the state.
