The Uche Ndi Abia Campaign Organisation has been inaugurated in Umuahia North LGA by Prof Uche Ikonne, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, flagbearer for the 2023 Abia state governorship election.
Uche Ndi Abia Campaign Organisation is the campaign structure of Prof Ikonne that was formed to drive his governorship campaign in all the 17 LGAs of Abia state.
While inaugurating the team in Umuahia North Local Government headquarters on Wednesday 2nd November, 2023, Prof Ikonne stressed that Uche Ndi Abia Campaign Organisation is for the good of Abia, adding that the people have been selected to be good ambassadors who would preach the good message that he has brought to Abia.
He promised to issue them with appointment letters and ID cards, and charged them to carry out the job assigned to them faithfully and diligently because they are going to be part of the new government.
Prof Ikonne promised to run a participatory governance model, saying that no community would be left out in the coming administration to be headed by him by the grace of God.
He also thanked the people of Umuahia North for the warm reception, and reminded them that he would be on the same election with the party’s candidates for the state house of assembly seats.
Prof Ikonne therefore, asked them to ensure they vote for the PDP candidates because they are the ones going to govern Abia with him.
