BREAKING: Senator Abaribe Wins APGA Senatorial Ticket
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, the Senate Minority Leader, has secured the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) senatorial ticket for Abia South.
Senator Abaribe, who abandoned the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, earlier this week after withdrawing from the governorship campaign, was elected unopposed as the APGA senatorial flag bearer by a large crowd of delegates on Saturday evening at the Azikiwe Road in Aba.
Chief Lucky Erondu, the Returning Officer, confirmed Abaribe’s victory to a standing ovation from a gathering of supporters, delegates, and party members.
He was the only one running for the position.
Senator Abaribe thanked the delegates for their faith in him in his acceptance speech.
Promising not to disappoint his constituents, Abaribe vowed to sustain his fight for the enthronement of democracy, equity and justice.
He said he would help to return Abia State to APGA for total liberation from god-fatherism and despondency.
“This is the time to return the state to APGA. It’s a sruggle to liberate the state and reposition the South East.
”South East needs to identify with APGA as its own and a platform to recover its lost grounds”.
With his emergence as APGA flag bearer, the third-term Senator will be clashing with Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu, who holds the PDP ticket; and Hon. Blessing Nwagba of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in the 2023 senatorial poll.
