A former chief press secretary to Abia State governor, Mr Godwin Adindu, has warned the Peoples Democratic Party that winning the 2023 governorship election would not be as easy as it was in 2015.
“I keep wandering; do our people think that this election is still the old style? Are they hoping on the 11th hour magic, popularised by Obingwa people? Sorry,” he said.
Adindu in a statement entitled: “The Abia Verdict (23) a wake up call” said; “If the governorship candidate, Prof. Uche Ikonne, is expeditiously unavailable, must the momentum drop to the point that the party was being boxed to a corner to assume the position of an opposition party.
“The Uche Ndi Abia train has been grounded because Prof Ikonne is not around. Should this be the case? In the military, this could be interpreted as sabotage.”
“Where are the PDP candidates? Are they not supposed to maintain the momentum, to keep the flag flying, to sustain the wave that Prof has raised? Should PDP lose this election because he is temporarily unavailable?’
He noted that in Abia Central, the three Labour Party candidates have chased PDP candidates into hiding, adding that the LP presence was being felt everywhere and conquering new territories everyday and asserting themselves.
“What is Colonel Akobundu doing? Or doesn’t he know that his territory extends to Isiala Ngwa North, South and Osisioma local government areas? Where is Chief Anthony Agbazuere? There is no single action coming from his camp,” he added.
