The Abia State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rt. Hon. Alwell Asiforo Okere, on behalf of the members of the State Working Committee (SWC), the enlarged State Executive Council (SEC) and the entire Abia PDP family, has congratulated the PDP Gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 Abia Governorship election, Sir Okey Ahiwe and his running mate,Dr. Jasper Uche, on their steadfast pursuit of the gubernatorial petition from inception at the Abia State Election Petition Tribunal through the Appeal Court to the Supreme Court.
In a Release signed by the Party’s Vice Chairman/Acting State Publicity Secretary, Elder Abraham Amah, Okere described the duo as men of great valour and inspiring courage for staying the course all through the period the case lasted,adding that their unwavering commitment to the cause they believed in, is exemplary, expressing optimism that they would continue to work for the party in the coming years to help sustain the lofty ideals that the party stands for.
The Abia PDP also congratulated Governor Alex Otti on his victory at the Supreme Court, noting that the decision of the Apex Court upholding Otti’s declaration as the validly elected governor of the State, has brought the case to an end.
The Release further encouraged the Governor to deliver on his campaign promises to the electorates and assured him that the PDP would always offer incisive and constructive criticism to help redirect his government whenever it wants to stray.
The Party, however, encouraged its members and the good people of Abia, to support the new government and ensure that they hold it accountable at all times, so that it would be what it promised to be.
