One of the Leaders, Mrs Josephine Ugorji while speaking to the Press maintained that Hon Paschal Obi has delivered on his mandate and therefore the best option is to send him back, than wasting time looking for a fresh candidate, who will begin to learn on the job, that is if he/she wins the election.
