Group adopts Bishop Onuoha as consensus guber candidate for Abia North

By Steve Oko

A group known as Abia North Political Project, has adopted the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as the consensus candidate of Abia North in the 2023 governorship poll.

The group said Bishop Onuoha was adopted after a rigorous screening of major governorship candidates of Abia North extraction.

Unveiling the consensus candidate during a press conference Monday in Umuahia, the Director General of Abia North Political Project and Team Lead, Abia North Consensus Governorship Candidate Screening Committee, Dr Uduma Nnate, said the committee was very dispassionate in its assessment.

He explained that 10 out of 18 political parties had their governorship flag bearers from Abia North, hence the need to adopt a consensus candidate if the zone wants to wrest power in 2023.

Nnate identified some of the qualities considered by the committee to include: capacity, credibility, competence, sound health, and political party.

Reading from a prepared text jointly signed with Nnaukwu Ogbuji, Nnate noted that all 10 governorship candidates from the zone met the criteria but one person needed to be presented.

He, therefore, appealed to other candidates who were not selected, to rally behind the adopted candidate in the overall interest of the zone.

The Abia North Political Project DG, described Bishop Onuoha as a man of integrity, experience and wide connection to transform the state if given the opportunity.

Responding to a question whether it was not against the spirit of equity for Bende Local Government Area which produced the first Governor of Abia North extraction, to produce the next Governor when other LGAs in the zone are yet to take a shot, Nnate said that “Abia North is one”.
