The Abia State Peoples Democratic Party said it has zoned the 2023 governorship position to Abia Central and Abia North Senatorial Districts of the state.

In a late night release by the state party chairman, Rt. Hon. Alwell Asiforo Okere, the party said the resolution came “after wide consultations with leaders and stakeholders of the party, including the 17 Local Governments of the state and a subsequent meeting of the State Working Committee and the entire Executive Committee.”

The release directed “that all those from the above mentioned zones and who are aspiring for the position of Abia State Governor should liaise with the party for presentation to the state elders between today 26th March, 2022 and latest 30th March, 2022.

“By this press release dated 26th March, 2022, the issue of the legendary Abia Charter of Equity which recommended power rotation among the three senatorial zones has finally been discarded in the state.

“With the agreement by the founding fathers of the state, it is the turn of Abia North Senatorial zone to produce the next Abia governor, having gone round the zones starting with Abia North, Central and Abia South currently holding the power.”

However, there are moves by kinsmen of the state governor to ensure that they control the seat of government for another two-term tenure of eight years.

STATEMENT BY SENATOR ENYINNAYA ABARIBE:

My attention has been drawn to a document signed by the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Alwell Asiforo purporting the Abia State PDP has zoned the Governorship seat to Abia North and Abia Central and wish to assure all Abians who are desirous of an end to IMPOSITION in Abia State to disregard the purported zoning for the following reasons:

1. While any member of PDP has the right to anybody for any elective position in Nigeria, it cannot be to the exclusion of any other member.

2. It is obvious that the statement was merely formulated to exclude me from the contest.

3. By virtue of section 42(2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, no person or body can exclude Senator ENYINNAYA ABARIBE (Nma Agha Ndigbo) from contesting and winning the 2023 elections in Abia State.

3. All PDP and Abia citizens are therefore urged to remain calm and participate in the forthcoming congresses and primaries where your voice will be heard as we dismantle the CABAL that want to keep Abians subjected to further years of IMPOSITION.

4. It is only Abians that will decide who will be their Governor in 2023.

Signed:
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe

I never expected this attitude from Abaribe.

I’m so disappointed

Abaribe have been ing ipob terrorists because he wants to be governor. Now his strategy has gone up in flames, he has been effectively zoned out of the race.



HE CAN REPLACE COWNU AS THE SUPREME LEADER OF IPOB TERRORISTS ( NOT ALL IGBO PLEASE)

It is the Governor causing the rubbish.

He is from Ngwa, and Ngwans occupy 2 LGAs inside of Abia Central
The Governor now wants to handover to Ngwa inside of Abia Central which will result to massive failure. That is why Abaribe too feels like he should be involved.

The Gov is wrong and the PDP will heavily fail if he goes ahead with it. People dey wait am/

The only people in Igboland doing this ipob rubbish are thugs and criminal elements.
Igbo has great men and public figures you will never see them this destructive ipob nonsense,whose only achievement is to create more and more problems for the region.

Are there no stakeholders in Abia to call the fat fool to order?

Nice response from Senator Abaribe.

He simply has dumped everyone. Not even Wabara, TA Orji, no-one.

I believe he will do the right thing.

Man already sees himself as Governor. Rather than settle with his party he’s making noise and ‘prouding’, pure intimidation tactics

Enyinaya rain as senator for 20years is coming to an end, the governor want to go to Senate, funny enough the both came from same constituency, he should go and rest with his loot ,the use of ipob to gain cheap popularity is not going to see the light of the day,ikpeazu should respect the zoning arrangements or else ngwa people go into political exile after the rain of ikpeazu .

What a failed nation

I just checked nwaogu vs atuma supra...It was a short judgment that was dismissed based on technicality,nothing about where osisioma belongs

Hmmmmmm.

Will the person be as useful as Abaribe?
