In what was a last-gasp campaign outing, the campaign train of the Abia state governorship candidate of the Action Peoples Party, APP, Chief Mascot Uzor Kalu (KSJI) yesterday made a splendid entry into Ariaria in an open rally, visiting the Power Line and the Shoe Plaza, the two major footwear markets in the commercial city of Aba, much to the rousing ovation of the traders.
In his address to the traders of the markets, the APP governorship candidate assured them that his government will rejig the already existing “made-in-Aba” project for optimal efficiency and productivity.
According to the former Abia state Chief of Staff, instead of his government taking the shoemakers to China for training, the Chinese will be brought to Aba to train the people.
He also assured the people that corrupt practices involved in the project, where the names of non-shoemakers are enlisted for travel, will be tackled if he is elected into office.
