The Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has announced plans to launch its 2023 campaign in order to compete with other political parties in the state.
The Abia PDP Vice Chairman/Acting State Publicity Secretary, Abraham Amah, told reporters at the party Secretariat on Tuesday that the inauguration ceremony was significant because it would allow the PDP-led government of Abia State to showcase its candidates.
“It would provide an opportunity for Abia State’s PDP-led government to showcase its first eleven and the finest gentlemen it has assembled to rough it out with lilliputians from other mushroom political parties in the 2023 polls,” Amah said.
“It will also take advantage of the opportunity to present its visible scorecard based on the promises it made in 2015 and 2019, as well as to renew the promises that it will undoubtedly fulfill.”
“Knowing how appreciative Abians are, it is an article of faith for us that they will choose the PDP that rescued them from the shackles of poverty in the last seven years, despite the economic decline foisted on them by the APC government at the centre, due to its inability to formulate sound economic policies for Nigerians’ growth and prosperity,” he added.
“We also urge PDP supporters to avoid politics of rancor, hatred, bitterness, and mudslinging in order to demonstrate to the opposition that politics for us is not a do or die affair,” the party advised.
The G5 PDP governors, led by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, are expected to attend the presentation of PDP governorship candidate, Prof. Uche Ikonne, and his running mate, Okey Igwe, to the state, as well as Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, who is the Senatorial candidate for Abia South zone, among others.
