The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has pledged to give Ndigbo a new lease of life if elected president in 2023.
Atiku who was in Anambra to canvass for votes said he would improve the South East geopolitical zone through improved security of lives and property, economic boom, and guaranteed infrastructural development.
He specifically pledged to dredge the River Niger to help boost trade and economic growth of the commercial people of the Southeast, activate the Onitsha Port and embark on massive construction of roads in Anambra State and other parts of the geopolitical zone.
