ABIA SOUTH 2023: PROF IBE CONGRATULATES ABARIBE
The Abia APGA governorship flag bearer Prof Gregory Ibe has felicitated Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe on his recent victory at the national assembly election.
Reacting to announcement of the former minority leader of the 9th senate as winner of the Abia South Senatorial contest, Prof Ibe applauded the doggedness of voters who defied such debilitating challenges as scarcity of new Naira notes, high fuel price and late arrival of voting materials to troop out in their numbers to cast their vote for their preferred candidate.
While congratulating Sen Abaribe, Prof Ibe noted that the victory is significantly resounding being a conquest over an incumbent governor, contending that by this development APGA has made a bold political declaration of intent to take over the Umuahia government house in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
He enjoined Sen Abaribe not to relent in his characteristic delivery of quality representation at the red chamber but to be invigorated by the fresh mandate under the platform of APGA to attract more dividends of democracy to the people.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had Tuesday announced Sen Abaribe winner of the 25 February Senatorial election for Abia South.
Announcing the result, the Returning Officer Prof Georgina Ugwuanyi had declared that Sen Abaribe of APGA polled a majority vote of 49,903 to overcome competition by the Labour Party candidate, Chinedu Onyeizu, who came second and Governor Ikpeazu of PDP who took a distant third position.
