Former Deputy Governor of Abia State, Chief Acho Nwakanma, has said that the stakeholders of the six council areas that make up the Abia South senatorial zone have adopted Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, as the consensus candidate for the zone’s senatorial seat in 2023 election.
Nwakanma who disclosed this in Obingwa LGA, explained that the stakeholders of the zone have assessed the profiles of those who have shown interest in the position and found Ikpeazu as the best candidate who will deliver dividends of democracy to the people.
He stated that the zone had been poorly represented at the senate since 2007 and assured that Ikpeazu will change the narrative.
The ex deputy governor who described Ikpeazu as a humble leader, added that the zone does not a senator who will be fighting the federal government instead of liaising with them to attract projects.
“Governor Ikpeazu is a humble leader. The people of Abia South have adopted him to represent us at the senate in 2023. He has performed as Governor. Abia South needs a senator who will bring home dividends of democracy, not a senator who will be fighting with the federal government. If somebody has done something for four years and failed, you give him another four years, making it eight years and he failed again, you give him another four years making it twelve yours and he failed, what do you do? You stop that person because he will continue to fail. Somebody who has not achieved anything for 16 years should not be supported again.”
