The All Progressives Congress (APC) Abia State chapter has urged incumbent Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to start packing his things from Government House, saying he would surely be voted out come the governorship polls.
The opposition party, which described 2019 as a year of liberation of the people of Abia from the clutches of the PDP misrule in the state, assured that it would refix Abia and ensure infrastructural development.
The party stated this in its New Year message, noting that defeat awaits the PDP alleging that the PDP’s anti-people government and its policies has not only under developed the Abia but imposed unnecessary suffering on the people.
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Benedict Godson, the APC appealed to Abians to exercise patience as their sufferings would soon be over once the PDP is voted out of power.
It described its governorship candidate, Dr. Uche Sampson Ogah, as God-sent liberator that would take the state to the next level.
“It’s a New Year and everything about this year must be totally new in our state. For us here, it’s a year of total liberation and transformation. Our people have endured a lot from the PDP. Our people have suffered a lot, but there’s always a time to say it’s enough.
“Abians should start now to feel the change that’s coming our ways. From the campaigns down to the main election, we urge them work, vote and see the devastating downfall of their oppressors and return all glory to God at the end.
“Every citizen of this state and those dwelling in the state who are not comfortable with where we are currently languishing in this terrible condition as a result of bad governance, must as a matter of commitment and patriotism play roles necessary towards this incoming liberation and transformation.
“God has already sent us someone that will make things easier and better for us. We urge Abians to understand that no one can give what he doesn’t have.
“The emergence of Dr. Uche Sampson Ogah, an industrialist and an employer of labour as governorhsip candidate in a state that’s begin for the revival of her industrial prowess and revitalization of her commercial and business status is not a mere coincidence.
“This is God sending us a liberator of which all we need to do as a people is to believe and work together with him to rescue Abia from the shackles of this reckless and incompetent government currently being run by group of people that are allergic to giving the people good things, but enjoy watching our people suffer.
“The PDP should start packing their loads. Their fraudulent tactics and picture project strategy has failed woefully. Every agent of stagnation and backwardness is not needed in Abia and that’s what PDP is.
“Abia State must be liberated and APC is the answer. We shall match and beat them in all ramifications. They know very well that we are not a party they can bully around and intimidate hide or shy away from the real game when it all begin.
“There’ll be no hiding space for all their incompetent candidates and oppressors of NdiAbia who just wants to remain in power as if it’s their birthrights.
“They’ll be thoroughly swept aside by the heavy wind of change that’s whistling from afar”, the statement said.
