History will be made on Wednesday, 25th May, 2022 as the PDP delegates would queue up to elect the party’s gubernatorial flag bearer in Abia State. The flag bearer so elected would represent the indomitable Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general elections.

It is common knowledge that our today’s choices determine how our tomorrow and future would be, and so making a choice, especially a choice for such exalted position.
as the number one citizen of the State – the Governor is not an issue to be treated with laxity but must be done circumspectly. Prior to now, some party members have indicated interest in gunning for the party’s ticket by buying both the Expression of lnterest and Nomination Forns of the party.

However, among the aspirants is a gentleman, technocrat, tested and trusted public servant with impeccable character, a professional, consummate academic and an Agburuke-Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North L.G.A born Professor of Optometry, Prof. Eleazar Uche Ikonne, the OHAZURUMEE of lsialaNgwa North. Prof. Ikonne is an outstanding and cool headed public officer, who is ready to sustain the developmental agenda of our celebrated pace setter Governor, Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, who has shown capacity in fixing and rebuilding Abia State with his five pillars of development and their enablers.

It is imperative to stress that, Governorship position is not an all comers affairs. It is not a position for the highest bidder, neither is it for the richest man or the most successful business man, philanthropist or an entrepreneur. Governorship is rather an office for one who is not only cerebral but experienced and capable of coordinating and superintending over the affairs of people of the State. It should be for a man, who knows Abia State, her challenges, potentials and the way out of the challenges as well as the means of harnessing her potentials. A close
look of these proves that in Professor Uche Ikonne dwells all these qualities.

Professor Eleazar Uche Ikonne is a home grown public servant, who understands the peculiarities of Abia State and has already acquainted himself with Ndị Abia, having touched almost every home in the State directly or indirectly through the students that passed through him, his colleagues or aquintances. More importantly too, Professor Ikonne has the blessings of the incumbent Governor as one who is capable of continuing the Governor’s legacies even as he introduces his own, all in the efforts of making the State maintain the lead in the commity of States.

The truth remains that Abia State needs a successor of Governor Ikpeazu in 2023, who would build upon the five key pillars of development and their enablers enunciated by Governor Ikpeazu to sustain the development of Abia and secure a wonderful future for our children. The incumbent Governor’s footprints in road infrastructure, trade & commerce, Small & Medium Enterprise, healthcare innovations, agricultural revolutions, education, erosion mediations and environmental management, redefined youth empowerment, industrialization
and security among others need a committed successor to sustain them. With such a Governor, Abia people should expect more quality road projects, more hospitals, more promotions of SME, more educational developments, more agricultural engagements and more prosperity for the hardworking individuals in the State.

Therefore, the sure way to secure the future of Ndi Abia is for the PDP delegates to cast their votes overwhelmingly for Professor Eleazar Uche Ikonne. We passionately appeal to the consciences of PDP delegates across board to assist in the movement of securing a better future for Abians both at home and in diaspora by ticking the man of the moment, Professor Eleazar Uche Ikonne. A vote for Professor Ikonne is a vote for continuity of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s infrastructural revolution, promotion of Made in Abia Products, adequate security, innovative healthcare services, education development among others. With Professor Ikonne, a man with penchant for excellence on the saddle, Abia will get the needed turn around in all facets of the economy. Let’s give Professor Ikonne a chance, he will be a Governor for all and perform beyond expectations and to the admiration of all. THE BULK STOPS HERE. Prof. Uche Ikonne is Uche Ndị Abia, KA UCHE NDI ABIA MEEE – KA ALA JUO OYI!
