“We have resolved to endorse a credible candidate, who has the capacity to drive the economy and move Ebonyi forward.
“I urge our supporters from the 13 Local Government Areas of the state to vote for the Governorship Candidate of PDP, Odii in Saturday’s gubernatorial poll.
“Today, Wednesday, I step down to support the man, who the people have accepted for the governorship seat.
