Abia Central Senatorial 2023: PDP Never A Threat To My Ambition… Rep. Onuigbo
An aspirant for Abia Central Senatorial District and the incumbent member, representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rep. Sam Onuigbo has debunk speculations that the ruling party in Abia poses a challenge to his Senatorial aspiration.
Onuigbo lamented that the various past and present administrations of PDP as a ruling party in the state had not in one bit laid any good foundation for the state, hence no existing basic evidence of good governance since it assumed power in the state.
According to him, the people of Abia have gained more wisdom and knowledge and as such would not hesitate to eliminate the party from the State.
“The PDP is supposed to pose a serious threat to my ambition where there has been good governance but this time, the people are wiser and will vote the party out”.
The Lawmaker regretted that the people of Abia had been voting for 24 years in the state for the PDP, “but this time the people will go for candidates that can deliver on their promises”, as they are tired of the PDP.
“My people have no basic of evidence of good governance, so why will they want to do the same thing after nearly a quarter of a century without result,” he wondered.
Onuigbo said that the failure of the ruling party in the state to bring good governance would further enhance his chances in the race if given the ticket as the people were tired of bad governance.
He said that his campaign would have the acronym “EAR” – E-Effectiveness, A-Accessibility and R-Responsiveness.
The lawmaker said his intention was to be effective when in the plenary and during senate committee sittings
“I will be accessible to my people who have used their power of their thumbs to elevate me to such a high position.
“I am going to be responsive to the legitimate aspiration and concerns of my constituents, according to the resources and opportunity available to me.
“The fact that they have used their thumb to elevate me should not make me inaccessible to them, so it is only when they are accessible they can come out to say their legitimate aspirations and concerns.”
Onuigbo expressed confidence in winning the senatorial seat, adding that out of the four contestants that had purchased the APC expression of interest form, “I am far above all and I expect to win the primaries.
