Abia APC carpets factional guber candidate for presidential campaign violence

violence that erupted during the electioneering campaign tour of the state by the APC presidential flagbearer, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

Violent clashes ensued between the warring factions of the Abia chapter of the APC as scores of party members and supporters who attended Tinubu’s presidential campaign rally in Umuahia township stadium were injured. Okorie saluted the courage of APC leaders who showed solidarity with Dr Uche Ogah by intentionally staying out of the APC presidential rally organised by Ikechi Emenike who “is illegally parading himself as Abia APC governorship candidate.”

The Abia APC spokesman also reaffirmed the stand of the state leadership of the party on the concluded direct gubernatorial primary elections conducted by the APC national leadership in Abia, which elected the past Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, as the APC gubernatorial candidate in the state for the March 2023 governorship elections.
