Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, following due consultations with relevant stakeholders, traditional leaders, the downtrodden and entire good people of Ndi Abia has declared his aspirations to contest  2023 Abia state governorship race under the PDP

"I hereby formally inform you, of my wish to contest the 2023 governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP).


"I have joined in this race with my full chest, to say I appreciate other people who as well, aspire for the same position, but however, I pledge that I offer a better option, to galvanize the youths, the men and women of Abia State, to instill a sense of belonging in our administration, which will bring hope and pride to our people", he declared Monday.


The PDP stalwart says he is emboldened to step into the race  further empowered by a support group under the auspices of Concerned Friends of Mayor Lucky Igbokwe led by the Deputy Chief Whip,  Abia State House of Assembly, Right Hon Kaycee Onuzuruike and Youth Leader, Hon. Okechi Utah, who out of their goodwill, purchased the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for him.

"My decision to run is borne out of hunger and desire to add value and impetus against the backdrop of the yearnings of the entire people of Abia state, who believe in the youths as an option, and to take Abia to the much desired place occasioned by their cries and wishes for good governance and inclusiveness and ensuring that Abia takes its rightful place in the comity of States 

"Having seen the roles and contributions of our past leaders, there's no gain saying that they have done their best, but I'm here to reinvigorate our spirits, minds and souls to the much vaunted dreams of our people for a better life, and to stand in the gap to shield our people from any form of hopelessness", he said.

He urged  all stakeholders to come to the table and to  take Abia to the most enviable heights we desire.

"I want us to know that the confidence in me is a confidence of hope, the future, the success and the restoration", he affirmed
