The re-election bid of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu yesterday received another boost as the people of Isiala-Ngwa South Local Government Area unanimously endorsed Governor Ikpeazu for a second term in the forthcoming election, explaining that the Governor deserves another term to consolidate on his works for Abians.

Speaking at the rally, the Governor’s wife said that contrary to rumours making round that Isiala-Ngwa would cast their votes for another party, the people are poised to ensure Governor Ikpeazu is retained in the office. In her words, “the crowd I have seen here today really proves mischief makers wrong and affirmed our confidence that the people of Isiala-Ngwa is in support of the Governor and PDP”.
In their respective speeches, the Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Barr.) Chinwendu Kalu, wife of former Abia Governor, Mrs. Odochi Orji, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Deputy Governor, Dr. Chris Nwagboso among others expressed joy over the support the party is getting from Isiala-Ngwa South Area charging them to translate their support into voting for all the PDP candidates in the forthcoming elections.
Reacting, a woman leader and PDP stakeholder, Lady Gold Nwannunu informed the Governor’s wife that they have done the needful and have carried out sensitization assuring that the people of Isiala Ngwa are ready to vote for Governor Ikpeazu and other PDP candidates.
Meanwhile the Governor’s wife in collaboration with Abia Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) earlier commissioned a market stall with a reticulated bore hole at Afor Osukwu, Owerrinta, and a class room block also with a reticulated water supply at Saint Ephraim Secondary School, all in Isiala Ngwa South Council.
Mrs. Ikpeazu also empowered about 40 indigent women with foodstuffs and other items to start their own businesses to augment for the family economic wellbeing.
In his speech, the programme Manager Abia CSDP, Dr. Chinatu Njoku said that Abia State government provides the platform in a way that every community in the State would become a beneficiary.
According to Dr. Njoku, “the much we have been using to provide these projects come from the Governor, so if we want to continue with these dividends of democracy let us re-elect the Governor and his party PDP.
