People from Labour, YPP, even APGA, are joining us.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve seen it happen in Zamfara, in Imo \u2014 incumbents have lost before, even in Anambra. Now the real leaders are with APC,\u201d he stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ukachukwu also revealed that President Tinubu was pleased with the campaign\u2019s momentum and the reception he received during his recent visit to the state.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHe gave us the charge to bring Anambra to the centre.
