The PDP in Abia State and their leaders are usually economical with the truth. It is their trademark. They claim APC is non existent in Abia but the last Presidential and National Assembly elections has exposed them as a band of liars and a party that has failed to exert any electoral value in the State. Their candidates including TA Orji struggled and engaged in electoral malpractice to at least win temporarily.
The people rejected them at the polls because the PDP has failed to deliver the goods of governance to the people for the past 20 years in Abia State. The PDP had tried in the past to demonize the APC as unacceptable to the people of Abia yet Abians spoke through their votes accepting APC as the only credible alternative for a better Abia.
In Abia Central Senatorial zone, the people rejected TA Orji who resorted to vote buying and intimidation to secure an unsustainable victory against the popular candidate of the APC. The APC is certain that the tribunal will surely reverse this stolen mandate by TA Orji.
It is a splendid truth that Abians are yearning for a new order. The PDP cannot continue with their lies and malicious propaganda against the APC in Abia. They people now know better that APC is the only credible vehicle that can bring a developmental revolution to Abia. That is why they people voted massively for APC in the last elections across the three senatorial zones despite glaring compromises of INEC, their State REC and few Security Agents. The wide support enjoyed by APC in Abia is directly connected to the growing influence and acceptance of Dr Uche Ogah as the Governorship candidate of the APC in Abia. Abians have a great confidence in Dr Ogah to lead them to prosperity. They have shown this confidence by voting for the APC from the wards to the senatorial zones as a mark of support.
Abia will certainly be free as we go to the polls on the 9th of March. A new government under the APC led by Dr Uche Ogah shall emerge in the State. They people shall speak despite the PDP trademark of deceit. A new Abia is possible with Dr Uche Ogah.
Vote Dr Uche Ogah for Governor, vote APC all the way.
