He noted that those steering the wheels of PDP currently, came because of status and position adding that; "they refused to do the rudimental approach when it comes to processes of engagement and primaries. They only handpicked; that was not the way we used to do it".
He recounted the numerous projects he has attracted for his constituents in his years of being in various elective position. He expressed confidence that he has the structure to win the 2023 election adding that "we (Labour Party) have the heart of the people".
Recall that Darlington Nwokocha is among the strongholds of PDP in Abia state that deserted the party following controversies that rocked the selection of delegates and the election primaries entirely ahead of the 2023 elections.
