Dr Alex Otti, the Deputy Governor of Abia State, Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, elected National and State Assembly members, as well as representatives from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

To our leader and presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, your steadfastness and integrity continue to inspire millions.
