Friday Nwosu says he remains the<br \/>\ncandidate to beat in the 2015 poll in the state.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with newsmen in Aba, Nwosu said he has assessed the<br \/>\nprofiles of aspirants contesting for the Abia governorship position and<br \/>\nrealized that he is better placed and possess the right credentials to<br \/>\nsucceed Gov. Theodore Orji<\/p>\n<p>Nwosu who expressed confidence that he will emerge the PDP flag bearer in<br \/>\nthe governorship primary election called on residents of the state to join<br \/>\nhands with the present government to make the state a better place for<br \/>\nall, stating that\u00a0 the governor has placed Abia on a sound footing judging<br \/>\nby the quality of projects he has undertaken.<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that he is still consulting with the people of the state and<br \/>\nbeyond about his ambition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m consulting the people of Abia state and beyond; consulting privately<br \/>\ninforming them about my intention and seeking for support. The support we<br \/>\nare getting from the stakeholders and people across the state and beyond<br \/>\nis unparalleled. My ambition is a mass movement and this tells you that it<br \/>\nis a divine project. I have my unique selling points which will be made<br \/>\nknown at the appropriate time,\u201d Nwosu stated.<\/p>\n<p>He condemned reports alleging that he will later withdraw for a better<br \/>\ncandidate in the build up to the governorship race and called on people<br \/>\nseeking political offices to sell their programmes to the electorate<br \/>\nrather engaging in propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>According to him,\u201d As a legal practitioner, I deal with facts; I cannot<br \/>\nbegin to talk about stepping down for anybody when I know that no aspirant<br \/>\nis better qualified than me. I can assure you that most of these aspirants<br \/>\nwill not even purchase expression of interest forms. They are standing on<br \/>\none foot, pretending to be aspirants but time will reveal these pretenders<br \/>\nand their game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He advised journalists to be factual in their reports instead of<br \/>\nmisquoting people and pandering to political interests.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foremost governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia state, Barr.
