The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia state, Chief Ikechi Emenike has said that the avalanche of cases against the party in the state is due to the party being a threat in the forthcoming election.
The governorship candidate assured APC national leadership that the party in the state is intact and ready to deliver and rescue Abia State and simultaneously develop it.
Emenike stated this on Tuesday when he led a delegation from the state to visit the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdulahi Adamu at the party secretariat in Abuja.
Those in the delegation include the deputy governorship candidate, Barr. Gloria Akara, Abia APC Chairman, Dr. KC Ononugbu, APC Welfare Officer, Sir. F.N. Nwosu, Abia State senatorial candidates, Hon. Emeka Atuma and Uche Ogboso, Generals Victor Nnorom, CM Abraham, CO Okoro and Jack Nwogbo, Sen. Chris Adighije and Sir Marc Wabara among others.
Emenike said the purpose of the visit was to commend Adamu for the kind of cohesion and peace he brought to Abia APC.
He said Labour Party was not a threat to the APC as they only exist on social media.
He added it was impossible for a party like APC that has polling units executives not to make an impact.
Emenike said: “LP is only making waves on the Internet and that was why I said, come to Abia to conveniently assess the situation yourself and know which party is actually making [an] impact in the state and those not making [an] impact.
“You don’t expect a party that has polling units exco not to make impact. Going to courts in Abia, there are avalanches of cases against the APC. There is none against LP, PDP, APGA, but against the APC. Why are they suing us other than the fact that they know the threat we present.”
The governorship candidate noted that the performance of the incumbent governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has already given APC a 40 per cent victory in the state in the forthcoming election.
His words: “Our governor can be anywhere but what I want to assure you is that through his performance, he has done almost 40 per cent of the campaign for the APC. And what we are doing is just trying to harvest most of the grounds and cover all the loopholes and work towards our victory.
“A lot of people are still doubtful relying on past propaganda and information, but before you say anything about the APC Abia, try to visit the state, go to the polling unit, the wards and find out the status of today’s APC in Abia State and whether we are ready for victory or not.”
