This commitment was expressed at Ututu where the stakeholders, including women and youth groups, gathered to receive the Abia APC leader, during his visit to Arochukwu.
Emenike was at Ututu where he inaugurated branded campaign vehicles of the APC candidate for Arochukwu Federal Constituency, Chief Dan Okeke, who said he had acquired the vehicles months before the primary poll, based on his belief that Emenike would emerge victorious.
Community leaders, party stakeholders and women leaders that spoke at the event vowed to work hard to ensure APC sustained its grip on Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency. They expressed joy at the emergence of Emenike as the governorship flag bearer of APC in Abia for the 2023 poll.
The host, Okeke, appealed to the people of the constituency to come on board “the moving train” of Emenike and contribute with their votes to put Abia in the hands of a competent leader.
The House of Representatives hopeful said that his only regret was that he didn’t come to know Emenike early enough to start drinking from his milk of human kindness, high principle, intelligence, leadership skills and practical ideas to make Abia rise from slumber.
“He (Emenike) is the only man that has used his position and connections to empower Abia people. He has attracted many federal jobs to Abians.
“This is the only man that would work with technocrats, people of integrity to develop Abia. He is forthright and that’s why fraudulent people de-market him because they know he won’t give them space to operate and waste the resources of the state if he becomes governor,” Okeke said.
In his response, Emenike told the gathering: “We are looking for men and women of goodwill who will join hands with us to rescue Abia so that we can set it on the path of development.”
He urged the people of Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency to support his rescue mission, as the end product would be beneficial to every Abian, as well as residents.
The APC gubernatorial flag bearer acknowledged that his detractors have continued to deploy every tool at their disposal to damage his image. He identified those behind the cruel propaganda directed against him, describing them as the beneficiaries of the rot in Abia, and who want to maintain the status quo.
