Wike’s G-5 to witness the launch of the Abia PDP campaign

Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and representatives from the G-5 Governors are expected to attend the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Abia State’s official campaign launch on Thursday.

At a press conference held yesterday in Umuahia, PDP Vice Chairman for Abia North and Acting Publicity Secretary Elder Abraham Amah said that the G-5 Governors’ attendance at the event would be in honor of and solidarity with Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu, who is one of them.

Amah, who was accompanied by the Secretary of the PDP Campaign Council, Chief Stanley Ojigbo, and the former Secretary to State Government, Elder Ralph Egbu, declared that Abia remained the PDP’s stronghold in the South East.

“The Integrity G5 PDP governors namely; Nyesom Wike of Rivers State; Dr. Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State; Mr. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; and the host governor Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu would grace the occasion in person as a mark of respect and solidarity with their brother governor”, he said.

Amah announced that the PDP candidates for the 2023 elections, including Professor Uche Ikonne, his running mate Hon. Okey Igwe, and others, would be formally introduced at the event planned for the Umuahia Township Stadium.

The PDP spokesman expressed confidence that the party would remain in power in Abia State the following year by claiming that his party had performed well in the important state economic sectors.

His words: “It’s an article of faith for us that they will choose the PDP that rescued them from the shackles of poverty in the past seven years despite the economic decline foisted on them by the APC government at the centre due to its inability to formulate sound economic policies for the growth and prosperity of Nigerians.”
