Abia
State Governor,Theodore Orji has expressed worry over the long list of
governorship aspirants from Ukwa/Ngwa area for next year’s general elections.
Orji who
spoke on Saturday in Umuahia at the Ngwa Patriots’ Forum, said there were at
least five aspirants from each of the nine local government areas in Ukwa/Ngwa
area.
The theme
of the summit was: “Appreciating the man that will make history: Gov. Theodore
Orji and Ngwa nation in 2015.’’
The
governor was represented at the summit by his deputy, Emeka Ananaba
, who hails from the area.
Orji had
reiterated that his successor must be from Ukwa/Ngwa to ensure
equity, justice and fairness in the state
Orji
further envisaged that more people from the area based abroad would also swell
the number as the election approaches.
He
charged each of the aspirants to evaluate his or her prospect of winning the
election before making formal declaration.
“People
always know the examination they would pass and the one they would fail,’’ he
said.
According
to him, the large number of the aspirants will only swell the purse of the
Peoples Democratic Party, with the payment of a N10 million non-refundable fee
by each aspirant.
The
President of the forum, Mr Okey Ahaiwe, said that the group chose to honour the
governor “for his achievements in the enthronement of good governance.’’
He added
that the honour was for Orji’s restoration of unity, peace and security in the
state.
Ahaiwe
pledged the readiness of the forum to collaborate with other groups in the
state to ensure Ukwa/Ngwa produce the next governor of Abia. (NAN)
