Major stakeholders and delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, have assured Senator Mao Ohuabunwa of their full support to his return bid to the Senate in 2023.




The stakeholders who gave the assurance when the former Leader ECOWAS Parliament consulted with them Tuesday at the Council headquarters.
They accorded him a warn reception as they trooped out with pageantry to welcome him and his entourage.





In their remarks, various speakers and chieftains of PDP in Bende, including Commissioner for Boundary Matters, Chief Godwin Ndom; former Commissioner for Education, Chief P. C Mba; and his Housing counterpart, James Okpara assured Ohuabunwa of the full support of Bende people.
Okpara said “Abia North has become an endangered district, and needs men of quality for a rescue mission”.
Other chieftains including the member representing Bende South state constituency at the House of Assembly, Hon. Emmanuel Ndubuisi; Bende Council boss, Chief Emmanuel Onwuchekwa; elder statesman, Chief. A Mmeregini, among others, vowed to deliver Bende to PDP in 2023.











Speaking earlier, Senator Ohuabunwa who said he had come a long way with the people of Bende, called for unity among PDP members in Abia North, promising not to disappoint the people of Bende if elected back to the Senate.
Ohuabunwa said Abia North was a PDP stronghold, and charged and the party faithful to unite and rescue the zone from the opposition.
He regretted that Abia North which boasted of seasoned and vocal lawmakers like Late Uche Chukwumerije, Gen. Ike Nwachukwu, and himself, had suddenly become a comic relief at the Senate.
The former Leader, House of Representatives, solicited the total support of Bende delegates at the forthcoming PDP primaries, advising them against distractions by money bags who have never raised a motion at the lower chamber but now want to go to the senate.
