The Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Chief Uche Ogah, on Friday, declared his intention to vie for the Abia State governorship seat in 2023, IgbereTV reports
He stated this at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Umuahia, the state capital.
This is the minister’s third attempt at governing the state.
He was pipped by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket in 2015.
Ogah, who was the APC candidate in the 2019 election in Abia, was also defeated by the governor in what many described as a one-sided contest
