Mr. Maduakolam Adighibe, a House of Representative aspirant on the platform of APC, hailed the peaceful conduct of the exercise in the state, boasting that APC was now positioned to clinch power come 2019.
According to him, “The Abia APC ward congresses should be a pace setter for other states to emulate. You can see that the congresses were peaceful. Every member comported themselves to ensure the exercise was devoid of malpractices and manipulations.
“APC is now well positioned to take over the state government house come 2019. You can see in Abia, how the people are clamouring for change because of the misrule of PDP. So, we are poised to enthrone the needed change in Abia.”
