He said, “I want to assure Nigerians that Bishop Sunday Ndukwo Onuoha will not disappoint Abia State.
“Bishop Onuoha’s mandate to us is simply to go get the nomination forms, but I can assure you that, as the ADC party chairman has said, things are not going the right way in Abia state.
“One of my core areas of focus would be to turn things around for good for the people of Abia, especially in the engagement of the youths, bringing about infrastructural development, and of course, security. I will revamp the economy of the state for the betterment of all of us.”
The national chairman of ADC, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu, said Bishop Onuoha, as a leading cleric, was suitably qualified to lead Abia state, which has the slogan “God’s own state”.
He pointed out that the party was committed to a free, fair and credible process that would ensure only the best candidates bear the party’s flag in the 2023 general elections, stressing “the most important thing is unity and the will of God.”
