A 2023 PDP Guber hopeful in the state, Prof. Uche Ikonne has expressed gratitude to Abia stakeholders and delegates of the people's Democratic party in the state for their warm reception and hospitality accorded to him during his state wide tour across the seventeen Local Government areas of the state, adding that the visits have afforded him the opportunity to interact and interface with the people, maintaining that all parts of the state, if elected, will witness a speedy development, as according to him, every part of Abia has its comparative advantage, citing Arochukwu LGA with huge diaspora content as a case study.
The immediate past Vice Chancellor of Abia state university Uturu used the occasion to eulogize the sterling achievements of Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, especially in the areas of provision of infrastructure and security, and urged Abians not to take those feats for granted, emphasizing that what the state needs at this point is a capable, experienced, exposed, tested and trusted hand like him to consolidate on those achievements, insisting that the situation we are all into does not call for any political experiment.
Prof. Ikonne, who goes with the title, Ugonmuta Ndị Abia also promised to run an all inclusive government if elected, and called for the support of everyone towards his quest to move the state forward, describing his decision to join in the Abia Guber race as divine.
Earlier in his remarks, the Director General of Uche Ndị Abia campaign organization, Chief Chinedum Elechi said, they came to present their son, Prof Uche Ikonne to them as their consensus candidate for the 2023 Abia Guber race, hence they expect nothing less than a 100+1% votes from the delegates, as the professor of Optometry has all it takes to pilot the affairs of the Abia.
The highpoint of the visit was the conferment of a chieftaincy title of Ohazurume 1 of isiala Ngwa North by the Isiala Ngwa North traditional ruler's council led by their Chairman, Eze Dr. Aliche, which was attended by dignitaries from the Isiala Ngwa North and beyond including the member, Representing Isiala Ngwa North state constituency, Okenze Ginger Onwusibe, the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Chief Okey Ahiwe, The commissioner for Local Government and chieftaincy affairs, Rt.
