Voters in Abia State have been urged to cherish their rights to vote and use it to enthrone good governance in the state by electing the right leaders to preside over their affairs.
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Abia, High Chief Ikechi Emenike, gave the advice during his visit to Ndume ward where he was hosted at the home of a federal commissioner, National Population Commission (NPC), Dr Nwanne Johnny Nwabuisi.
He said that voting right should not be joked with as it confers enormous power on the masses, adding that in many countries people had died in struggles to have the right to vote.
“Don’t joke with your right to vote. Don’t sell your votes,” he admonished the electorate, adding that votes would be used to bring the needed change in Abia this year.
Emenike noted that “the wind of change has started in Abia” as his rescue and develop Abia(RADA) movement has gained the momentum to dislodge the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Abia government house.
He stated that Abia has been so mismanaged over the years to the extent that people are now eagerly waiting to use the 2023 poll to free the state from bad leaders.
According to him, Abians were crying in 2007 that the condution of the state was very bad but presently things have gone out of control in Abia.
“It is an offence against God to owe workers, yet somebody would not pay workers and pensioners and still go to bed and sleep happily, displaying their callousness,” he said.
The governorship hopeful promised that he was coming to change the anomalies in Abia governance, adding that “we are prepared for governance” and only needs the people’s support to actualise the goals of RADA.
