How do I begin? Ok, let me start by saying that this project, the Abia
\n2015 governorship election on the PDP platform, with Okezie Ikpeazu on the
\nwheels, must not fail. Yes, it must not fail. This is something every
\nright thinking Ukwa\/Ngwa person must take to heart. If this project fails,
\nGod forbid, the generations unborn of Ukwa\/Ngwa will never forgive those
\nof us who are here today for not doing the needful.<\/p>\n
For the first time in the history of Abia State politics, our brothers and
\nsisters from Abia North and none Ngwa in Abia Central, have all agreed
\nthat an Ngwa must rule Abia in 2015. The PDP rapped it up by zoning its
\ngovernorship ticket to Abia South, and Okezie Ikpeazu PhD, by the special
\ngrace of God, with the support of Governor T.A Orji and stakeholders of
\nthe state, emerged the candidate of the party at its primaries.<\/p>\n
In the past, the Ukwa la Ngwa people have made frantic efforts to ensure
\nthat one of us become governor of the state, but all of the effort failed,
\nlargely because the efforts where made on opposition platforms. And again,
\nthe other divide of the state never supported us then. The Otu Onu
\nstruggle led by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe is still fresh in our minds.<\/p>\n
There is no gain saying that; the Okezie Ikpeazu’s candidature as the PDP
\ngovernorship flag bearer, is the closer an Ukwa\/Ngwa man has ever gotten
\nclose to the governorship seat of Abia State since the beginning of human
\nrace, this is the reason we, Ukwa\/Ngwa people, must do everything humanly
\npossible to ensure that Okezie becomes governor of Abia state in 2015. We
\nare all condemned to ensuring this happens this time.<\/p>\n
First, we must thank God Almighty for anointing Okezie Ikpeazu for this
\nassignment. Secondly we must thank God for using Governor T.A Orji to
\nensure this dream become a reality. Then, the PDP as a political party,
\nAbia Stakeholders must not be left out in the appreciations.<\/p>\n
Therefore, I call on our Ukwa\/Ngwa brothers and sisters to see this
\nproject as our life, and as a task we must accomplished as a people, with
\nGod helping us. The governorship project of 2015 is bigger than any person
\namong us. It is not about Okezie Ikpeazu, neither is it about those close
\nto him on the project, but it is about the Ukwa\/Ngwa race, our unborn
\ngeneration and entire Abia. Therefore, any of us who thinks that his
\npersonal and parochial interest is bigger than this project, ala ukwa la
\nNgwa ga ikugbu onye obu, Ndi Ichie Ukwa la Ngwa are watching.<\/p>\n
Those of us shouting about other parties that is not PDP, must remember
\nthat we have fought this battle from the opposition standpoint in the
\npast, and lost. The lesson we learnt is that we can’t get it from the
\nopposition. That is why the PDP is the only choice now, and we have made
\nthe right choice with Okezie Ikpeazu as the PDP flag bearer.<\/p>\n
God anointed Okezie Ikpeazu, and he also needed the endorsement of Abians,
\nincluding the Governor to become governor. Therefore, we are not ashamed
\nto say that Okezie has the endorsement of the Governor Orji and other
\nstakeholders of the state.<\/p>\n
Permit me therefore, to remind supporters of Alex Otti and others who are
\ntoday, castigating our dear Governor T.A Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu that they
\nare being clever by half. Before he left the PDP for APGA, Alex Otti, did
\neverything he can to get the endorsement of Governor Orji. It is on record
\nthat Otti lobbied serious with money and everything at his disposal for
\nGovernor Orji to endorse him to become the PDP candidate, but Governor
\nOrji told him that Abia is not for sale.<\/p>\n
Otti also denied his paternity as an Arochukwu man, and claim to be come
\nfrom Isialangwa just because he wants to be governor. He didn’t stop at
\nlobbying Ochendo and denying his paternity, he went up to Abuja and
\nlobbied in dollars, he was told the same gospel truth that the wind of
\nequity and justice is blowing. From Anambra, where former governor Peter
\nObi insisted that someone from Anambra North becomes governor after him.
\nIt is happening in Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi State etc, the case if Abia
\ncan’t and must not be different.<\/p>\n
If Otti can tell his supporters the truth, he will tell them that he
\nrecovered part of the money he gave in dollars to people in Abuja, when he
\ndecamped to APGA. So calling Governor Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu names will
\nnot make Otti governor, it will rather fast track the emergence of Dr.
\nOkezie Ikpeazu as governor in 2015.<\/p>\n
Just like every other candidate, Okezie Ikpeazu is seeking the endorsement
\nof all Abians. He already has the endorsement of the entire Ukwa\/Ngwa
\nrace. He has the endorsement of the PDP and that of Governor Orji. But
\nthat is not enough, he is also seeking your endorsement! So vote him to
\nbecome the next governor of Abia state. Please endorse and support him.<\/p>\n
Together We Can…Okezuo Abia…<\/p>\n
