APC issues quit notice to PDP in Abia as Ikechi Emenike takes full control of party

By Steve Oko

The supremacy battle that has bedeviled the All Progressive Congress, APC, arising from the party’s congresses has been finally laid to rest as the Chief Ikechi Emenike-backed Dr. Kingsley Ononogbu-led state executive has been inuagurated.

Ononogbu who was along with other state Chairmen inuagurated last week in Abuja, yesterday, inuagurated other members of the state and local government party exco at the APC state secretariat, Uzuakoli Road Umuahia, amid pageantry.

Inuagurating the 27-member State Executive Committee, SEC; and LGA exco members, Ononogbu who talked tough, gave them mandate to plan an effective strategy to wrestle power from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, come 2023.

The APC Chairman issued a quit notice to the PDP to vacate the Abia seat of power by May 29, 2023 for APC Governor.

He charged the party leaders to “hit the ground running because of the enormous task ahead and the limited time frame for its accomplishment.”

His words: “This is the time for work. We have to tell people that we have genuine alternative and that all those good things we see in other states are possible in Abia”.

He bemoaned the state of things in the state saying that Abia is suffering from leadership deficit.

According to him, “Abia has always been unlucky to be foisted with unprepared governors who are not cut out, ab initio, for the huge responsibility of presiding over the affairs of a state under a democratic setting”.

The APC boss said that “Abia ranks low” in infrastructural development when compared to some neighbouring states like Enugu and Ebonyi which have no crude oil.

He boasted that if voted into power, Abia would witness geometric transformation under the watch of APC-led administation.

“We can only demonstrate what we are talking about if we are voted into power,” he said, adding that the APC Leader in the state, Chief Emenike, a development economist, has the key to unlock Abia.

Ononogbu who said there was no crisis in Abia APC contrary to media propaganda by those who failed to participate in the revalidation of party membership exercise last year, sued for unity among party members.

He, however, extended the olive branch to all those still bearing grudges over the concluded congresses, saying he is ready to calm all frayed nerves in the interest of the party.

“I’m ready to apologise to any person with genuine grievances.

” I don’t want to lead a party that is divided. I want to lead Abia APC that is a united team to the 2023 general election,” he said.

He urged Abia electorates to vote for APC come 2023.
