The APC paraded a formidable array of men and women of high political calibre, able, willing and ready to deliver Abia State to the APC, come 2019, the leader of the Abia State Caucus and member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Sam Nkire, has said.
Chief Nkire, who said this on Sunday in a statement issued in Abuja, lauded the national leadership of the party for the support given to the mega rally held in Abia State capital, Umuahia, last week.
He said that the rally, which came so early in the year was not only to welcome the “timber and calibre” who had joined the party since the general elections of 2015, but also to sound an early warning about the “approaching, invading political army determined to take control and occupy the Umuahia Government House, come May 29, 2019”.
He said the Abia State branch of the ruling APC was honoured to be the first state to stage a major political event in the party’s 2018 national calendar.
Chief Nkire said, “with political warlords like Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, former Governor of Abia State; Senator Nkechi Nwaogu, Senator Chris Adighije, Senator Bob Nwannunu, Chief Emeka Wogu, former Minister of Labour; Sir Mark Wabara, the banking guru; Dr Uche Ogar, the oil magnet and many other strong men women joining, it is obvious that the battle line is drawn.”
Nkire particular hailed the attendance of the party leaders and the support of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He also thanked the leadership and members of the APC in Abia State for their contribution, support and massive attendance, which according to him showed the strength and unity of the party in the state.
