From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has promised he won’t disappoint the people of Abia South senatorial district if he was elected to represent the zone in the red Chambers in the February 25 poll.
The zone is presently represented by the former Senate Minority leader, Chief Enyinnaya Abaribe who is now contesting the seat with Ikpeazu, on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Ikpeazu made the promise at Ahiaba community school, in Obingwa Local Government Area, while addressing the people of his local government in the course of his campaign.
He reminded the people that since he became governor, if he had made ten promises to them, he had fulfilled at least eight, stressing that his presence in the Senate would embolden him to do more.
While stating that he had not come to Obingwa being his own local government to campaign, Ikpeazu said he was around to inform his people that he had gone round other local governments of Abia South and the consensus opinion was that they want him in the Senate to continue from where he will stop as governor.
“I have accepted that consensus opinion and the assurance I will give is I’m not going to disappoint you if I go to the Senate; those things I could not do as governor, I will accomplish as a senator.”
Ikpeazu said tickets given to candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state were done on the basis of justice and fair play, and urged the people to vote for all the PDP candidates at the polls.
During the campaign, the former youth leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Chikezie Orji Monday, aka (Momoh), decamped to PDP.
