Abia will remain underdeveloped until APC takes over: Chairman

Abia chapter of the All Progressives Congress has declared that the state’s political woes will continue unless the people take bold steps to free the state from politicians without character.
“Abia’s case will continue to grow bad unless we stop choosing politicians without character,” the state chairman, Kingsley Ononogbu, said on Monday in Aba.
Mr Ononogbu said that the APC would liberate Abia from rogue politicians and change its leadership narrative by fielding politicians with character to contest and win in 2023.
“If they have shame, why would same persons ruin this state for 24 years and they still think they should continue to rule it? Let anyone of them come to the television; let us talk,” he said.
Mr Ononogbu said no Abia person should watch the current political developments of the state from the fence. He said the people should be angry enough to engage and fight to retrieve the state from clueless politicians.
He assured that the APC in Abia would bring transparency, quality, and character to bear when it wins the 2023 elections and positively change Abia’s political narrative.
“That is what we are offering Abia people. We are not giving any bribe. We don’t have bribe to give anybody. Abia APC will offer good and accountable governance.
“We will not allow godfathers in Abia APC. People must be qualified for whatever positions they get,” Mr Ononogbu stressed.
