In a goodwill message, the PDP Governorship candidate for the 2023 general election, Professor Uche Ikonne, who identified with the sterling achievements of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in the State, noted that the Governor has fought and won many physical and spiritual battles leading to the completion and commissioning of many landmark projects in the State , peace and security. He said that the reign of Governor Ikpeazu has ushered in economic prosperity and promised to consolidate on the gains of the present administration if elected the next Governor.


Welcoming the Governor, the Anglican Bishop of Aba, the Rt. Rev. Christian Ugwuzor lauded Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for completing the first Abia Interchange which has improved the aesthetics of the Osisioma junction as well as aided free flow of traffic in the area in addition to his infrastructural developments in Abia State, especially Aba, the economic nerve centre.


Earlier in a sermon, the Bishop of Arochukwu/Ohafia Diocese, Rt. Rev. Johnson Onuoha appealed to all believers to submit fully to the lordship of Jesus Christ, who charged them to occupy until he returns. According to him, God demands faithfulness and honesty by all, adding that they should avoid immorality, dishonest gains among others. He called on leaders at all levels to utilize the authority given to them by God, saying that how they make use of the opportunity of leadership is very important.


The event attracted the presence of the member representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency at National Assembly, Chief Chimaobi Ebisike , Member representing Aba North at the State House of Assembly,Hon Uzodike Aaron , Commissioners, members of Uche Ndi Abia Campaign Organization among other dignitaries.
