Chief Nwosu, who was represented by the Deputy National President, Diaspora Network, Mr. Kenneth Gbandi, noted that the party was well positioned to do battle for the presidential seat with the two leading political parties, the APC and PDP, and urged party faithful to brace up for the task, which he admitted would not be an easy one.
