Members of Abia South Senatorial District under the aegis of Asiwaju Tsunami group have declared that the All Progressives Congress, (APC), will defeat Labour Party senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, in the 2027 election.
The group which addressed the press in Aba yesterday, said that APC will record a resounding victory in Abia South and other parts of the state through the leader of Asiwaju Tsunami, Paul Ikonne .
The group which spoke through Chinwe Nwangaga yesterday, said the APC will take over the Abia South Senate seat from Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe through Ikonne.
The group argued that the Obingwa section of the Abia South political bloc which produced Abaribe, former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and other politicians, have been dominating the district for over 20 years.
It also pointed to Ikpeazu’s appointment as Nigeria’s ambassador to Spain as evidence of the long-standing domination by the Obingwa section.
“Since 2007 when I ran for deputy governor, Abaribe has been in the Senate. We want a fresh person. We want a fresh idea and we have no doubt that Ikonne will beat anybody to win the election,” Nwanganga said.
The APC group while thanking President Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, for being impartial in Abia South APC primary elections, maintained that the national leadership of the party reserves the final decision on matters concerning APC candidates in Abia.
