The governorship project of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in Abia State, Chief Ikechi Emenike, has received a boost from stakeholders in Ohafia Local Government Area, who have vowed to ensure his victory.

At a meeting hosted by Chief Stanley Orji Oba at Abiriba, the stakeholders asked Emenike to forge ahead.

“Ndi Abia have resolved that an end has come for bad governance and are looking up to Emenike to save them. We have adopted him door to door, house to house,” Uche Dike Okoro declared.

He said the APC governorship candidate towers above the other candidates in competence, integrity, visionary leadership and brims with practicable ideas to develop Abia.

In his remarks, Chief George Nnanna Kalu, pointed out that the problem with Abia has remained the gross mismanagement of its resources by incompetent leaders.

“I recommend High Chief Emenike as someone who who will be diligent in managing our resources and we must support him to drive away the bad managers out of Government House,” he said.

Otuwe Kalu Orji, who flies the APC flag in Ohafia South state constituency, noted that “Abia has suffered a lot” but added that there is hope for better tomorrow because “the man who will change the bad situation has come.”

“We are here to tell Abiriba, Nkporo and Ohafia (the communities that constitute Ohafia LG) that APC has come with the right leader to take over Abia State,” he said.

The APC governorship standard-bearer regretted that “after 31 years of existence Abia is still in a state of decay. It is a shame. But I promise that after two years whoever likes dirty environment will not see it again in Abia.”

He said he has got laid down strategies to put Abia on a solid financial base that would make it easy for government to carry out its functions seamlessly, including payment of salaries and pensions.

“We cannot develop this state without doing the right things. Let us work as a team and go there to win the election. Let us work together and change this ugly narrative that has become the lot of our state,” Emenike stated.

“There will be a better Abia at the 32nd anniversary of its creation,” he said, alluding to the fast pace of development that Abia would experience under his care as governor.
