Dr Odii made this pledge on Saturday during the PDP campaign rally in the Ikwo Local Government Area of the state.
The PDP gubernatorial standard bearer also promised to outnumber his counterparts who might emerge victorious in the forthcoming gubernatorial polls in terms of youth empowerment in the country.
He observed that "Ebonyi state was known for peaceful co-existence, but now, the community is fighting against the community, clans raising arms against one another and even Kindred working against another kindred.
He said, "that my government is going to empower the highest number of youths in the country."
Odii however, urged the Ikwo council people to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to vote for him and all the PDP candidates on the election days.
He reiterated his eagerness to liberate the state from poverty, saying with the anticipated massive support and votes of Ebonyi people for the PDP candidates at the polls, they would unlock their destinies this year.
Recall that the wife of the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Mrs Deborah Odii has described her husband as anti-poverty. She expressed confidence that his victory in the 2023 gubernatorial election would bring fortune to Ebonyi citizens.
"Dr Odii will raise billionaires and wealth creators in Ebonyi State. Our government will not give weapons or stipends for the killings of innocent people. Our government will be gender sensitise, by empowering both men and women in this state. On this note, we should come out in mass and vote for my husband and all PDP candidates on the election days."
The Director General of the State PDP Campaign Council, Chief Augustine Edeze who reminded Ikwo people of the donation of 10 million Naira by Dr Odii to build their civic centre in 2012, urged them to replicate the gesture with their PVCs at their various polling units on the election day.
Different speakers at the event including the State PDP acting Chairman - Ifeanyi Nworie, the Party's Senatorial Candidate for Ebonyi Central District - Lazarus Ogbee, Dr Vitalis Nwanne PDP Candidate for Ezza South/Ikwo Federal Constituency, Member Ebonyi State House of Assembly Ikwo North State Constituency - Humphrey Nwuruku, Zonal Youth Leader Comrade Chidiebere Egwu, Ikwo South Constituency PDP Candidate among others noted that their party had given the Ikwo council area various political opportunities including the governorship and deputy governorship positions for the good eight years respectively.
They, however, urged the people to replicate the gesture in the forthcoming elections by voting for the PDP candidates indiscriminately in the forthcoming general elections.
