The All Progressives Congress, APC Abia State says its 2023 governorship ticket would not be zoned.
Speaking at a meeting of party stakeholders, a chieftain of the party, Chief Ikechi Emenike said the party is emphatic about producing quality leadership for the State rather than zoning of offices.
"What the State needs now is a quality leader irrespective of where he or she comes from to move it forward from its present backwardness and underdevelopment", he declared
Emenike from Abia Central Senatorial district who harbours governorship ambition further lamented that the State has been a victim of stagnant development since 1999 when the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been in power, adding that "The time to halt the trend of underdevelopment has come.
“In view of the present situation no reasonable voter in the State will be expected to vote for the PDP unless those who are benefiting from the rot", he argued
Emenike maintained that if elected governor of the State in 2023, he would not only bring about the anticipated turn around, but would also fast-track development to recover lost ground within record time.
In his remarks, the State chairman of the party, Dr. Kingsley Ononogbu argued that Abia is in dire need of a liberator to dismantle godfatherism and usher in good governance and development.
The party boss described Emenike as a the liberator, a committed leader and God-sent and urged the members to work towards ensuring his victory in the election.
The stakeholders meeting was organised by the National Welfare secretary, Barrister F N. Nwosu, in his country home in Obingwa Local Government Area of the State.
Nwosu, in his opening remarks urged pp party members to mobilise and participate in the ongoing voters’ registration exercise across the various wards in the State, describing the voters card as a weapon for change.
