Abia State Deputy Governor and frontline governorship aspirant, Sir Ude Oko Chukwu, has tasked Peoples Democratic Party, PDP delegates to vote wisely for a candidate who will not fail them, stressing that the state will suffer when a wrong candidate is voted into power.<\/p>\n
Addressing PDP delegates during his consultative visit to Osisioma Ngwa, Isiala Ngwa South and Isiala Ngwa North LGAs, the Deputy Governor also charged the delegates to vote for a candidate who understands party business to mean that members of the party must benefit to take care of their problems.<\/p>\n
Oko Chukwu explained that having served as a speaker of the state Assembly and now, deputy governor; he has acquired the requisite experience to make life more meaningful to the people of the state as well as ensure the growth of the party.<\/p>\n
He said; \u201cWe are talking about how Abia would be better. While we are doing whatever we are doing, we should take care of the party because the party is the hen that lays the golden egg. A party man suffers for the party for 4 to 8 years. He may not be able to pay rent, he can\u2019t build a house and he can\u2019t train his children in school. But I want to tell you that party business is a business. It is just like you are doing other businesses. If you are in the party business, you can\u2019t buy a car, change your clothes or train your children, then you are not at the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you can\u2019t be in a ruling party and you are suffering. But we are the cause of our problems. The reason is that delegates may vote for an aspirant who does not know the real party people. When we vote the wrong person in, he won\u2019t remember us because he doesn\u2019t know the party members and we start complaining. When you bring a Pharaoh who doesn\u2019t know Joseph, the Israelites will suffer. I want to tell us that if we want to benefit as party members, tomorrow is in our hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho takes care of the party people? It is the Governor of the state who creates the enabling environment. If you have a Governor who knows the party and understands what party business is all about, he takes care of the party people. But if you elect a Governor who doesn\u2019t know the party members, the party members will suffer. By May 2023, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu will no longer be the Governor of Abia State.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, we need to elect a Governor who knows the party. I have been in the party business for 19 years and I\u2019m best positioned to improve the welfare of party members because I\u2019m a party man.\u00a0 I have served the party well; I have experience to turn things around. So, we must be careful who we vote for as the PDP candidate. It is beyond the issue of he is my brother or he is from my place. If we make a wrong choice, we will suffer it till the next 4 or 8 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
In their separate speeches, Dr. Gershon Amuta, Hon. Sam Esindu and Chief Ihezuo Ufomba, among others,described the Deputy Governor as a humble person who has distinguished himself\u00a0 in government and assured him of their support in the PDP governorship primaries.<\/p>\n
