Following the Crisis rocking the Abia state chapter of the Peoples\u00a0 Democratic Party, PDP, over which zones produces the next Governor in 2023; National chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu has appealed to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and other stakeholders of the party in the State not to allow PDP lose the state to the opposition in 2023.<\/p>\n

The national chairman who was in the state to commission road and hospital projects in Umuahia, disclosed that he had discussed with Governor Ikpeazu over the crisis arising from the zoning arrangement.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that some party stakeholders has accused him of visiting the State to anoint a candidate ,adding he has no business with anointing a candidate for any state.<\/p>\n

He said; “I have already talked to the governor and our leaders in Abia to always put heads together and solve their problems.<\/p>\n

“We must never lose Abia State. Abia must remain PDP. I received so many letters when the governor asked me to come to Abia to commission these projects. There were so many threats.<\/p>\n

“They said that I am coming to endorse a particular candidate. Let me make it clear that at the national level, we don’t endorse any candidate. We don’t do zoning for states.<\/p>\n

“It is left to Abia people to sit down and discuss their problems. But their problem is our problem because we want Abia to remain a PDP controlled state. You must discuss and solve it in a way that will not lose elections in Abia State.”<\/p>\n

He insisted that Nigeria would fare better under a democratic dispensation than in a military administration<\/p>\n

“In a democracy, people must be allowed to express themselves and how they feel.<\/p>\n

“I started politics from a military regime, if it were in a military regime, you will see soldiers beating members of the party to leave this place.<\/p>\n

“I am experiencing a different mindset. I pray and hope that Nigeria will never be ruled by another military regime again. We must continue this democratic journey.”<\/p>\n

Governor Ikpeazu, had in his address, stated that the target of his administration was to ensure that the life expectancy of Abians exceeded the national average.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
