Abia APGA governorship candidate, Gregory Ibe, has hailed Enyinnaya Abaribe on his victory.
In a statement by his media adviser, Sleek Ogwo, Ibe applauded the doggedness of voters, who defied such debilitating challenges as scarcity of new naira notes, high fuel price and late arrival of voting materials to troop out in their numbers to cast their votes for their preferred candidate.
He said Abaribe’s victory was significantly resounding, being a conquest over an incumbent governor.
He contended that by the victory, APGA has made a bold political declaration of intent to take over the Umuahia Government House in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
Ibe enjoined Abaribe not to relent in his characteristic delivery of quality representation at the red chamber but to be invigorated by the fresh mandate on the platform of APGA to attract more dividends of democracy to the people.
