Business mogul and Abia House of Assembly aspirant in 2019 election,Hon. Chief Humphrey Chukwudi Benson has said that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s total victory in 2019 is assured, given the giant strides recorded so far by his Government.
Hon. Benson, who is aspiring to represent Umuahia South in the Abia House of Assembly, gave this assurance in an interview with Nigerian Pilot in Umuahia during the mega rally organised by the eight local government areas that make up old Bende division in honour of Abia state Governor for his second term bid.

Benson further explained that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has delivered the dividends of democracy to Abians, little wonder, his old Bende people rolled out drums to honour him and unanimously endorsed his reelection bid come 2019.
He noted that the lecturer- turned Abia Governor has excelled in all the sectors of the state economy, not minding court litigations and therefore assured him of the massive votes of Abians in 2019.
Asked what prompted his decision to run for Abia House seat, he informed our Correspondent that it is selfless service to his Umuahia South people who are yearning earnestly for effective representations.
The youthful aspirant explained that this is his second, having first took a shot at the Abia Assembly seat in 2014 without success. He however, expressed optimism in making it this time around, noting that he has learnt the political ropes enough to emerge his party’s ticket bearer and had been a party man since then till date.
Benson, who added that the political zone favours his Umuopara clan which last tasted the Assembly seat in 1999-2003, called on the Ubakala clan on the need to respect the zoning formula agreed on for the interest of peace, equity and fairness.
