Rather, he blessed them, assuming that they were neither abandoned nor left to walk alone, as Anambra would soon be connected to the centre of Nigerian politics.
Tinub,u represented by the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio simply prayed and blessed the sea of supporters at the arena.
They had defied the afternoon rain in Onitsha, Anambra’s commercial hub to stand firm in support of Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, and Senator Mrs Iyom Uche Ekwunife, the party’s candidates in the November 8 governorship elections in the state.
“The rain was a message of blessings. Without it, we would have thought something was wrong.
“Nothing will happen to you. You will go out there and vote, and you will be victorious.
“The message I am bringing to you from the centre is that you will not walk alone. You will live to remember. You will not be disgraced. Peace be with you”, he prayed.
