Abaribe Picks Abia PDP Governorship Nomination Form.
The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Monday picked the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to enable him to vie for the party’s ticket to fly its flag in the 2023 governorship election in Abia State.
Abaribe, had on Monday, 27th December, 2021 declared his interest to contest the Abia 2023 governorship election.
Mr Abaribe made his interest known at a civic reception organised in his honour by Nzuko Ahiaba La Abayi, a sociocultural organisation in Ahiaba in Obingwa Local Government Area of the state.
He expressed his readiness “to serve and to deliver more dividends of democracy to the people.”
“As an Igbo man, I respect constituted authority. I believe the number one citizen of the state should know, and I have paid him that respect.
“I have let him know and by extension, the people of Abia, and I am telling the people of Abia to look forward to seeing me in charge in Abia state come 2023,” he said.
Mr Abaribe said it was time for the residents of Abia to make choices that would facilitate enhanced socio-economic development in the state.
He expressed gratitude to God for divine guidance and thanked his constituents for organising a civic reception in his honour.
“This is a special occasion. I have been in politics since 1998. I have been in and out of politics and even gone to DSS custody because of Nigeria.
“This is the first time a civic reception is being organised for me.
“This occasion is significant because it is coming from my ancestral home and shows that they are saying that they are proud of my antecedents, achievements and that I deserve a title,” he said.
THE WHISPERER reports that Abaribe,67, is from the same Obingwa local government area as Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.
