Earlier, Chief Bob Ogu, Hon. Eric Opia, and Mrs Ezinwayi Jonas, announced their stepping down for Ahaiwe.

In his acceptance speech, Ahiwe thanked the leadership of the party for ensuring his emergence through a consensus of the three senatorial zones of the State.

Ahiwe, who said he had been a successful entrepreneur in the oil and gas industry, appealed to the other aspirants to join hands with him to ensure victory for the party in order to take Abia State to another level of development.

In his opening remarks, the chairman of the Special Primary Election Committee and Edo State governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, assured that the party would abide by the outcome of the primary election.

He reminded the party members that the special primary exercise was in consonance with the Electoral Act 2022 following the demise of the former candidate and former vice chancellor of the State University, Uturu, Prof. Ikonne.
