Governor, Theodre Orji
Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, has congratulated the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in last Saturday’s election conducted in the Aba South State Constituency, Mrs. Nkemdirim Nwogu Iheasimuo, for her hard earned victory over other candidates from other parties.
Iheasimuo polled 1,655 votes to defeat candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Elder Smart Ebere and Chief Chimobi Apara, who polled 313 and 252 votes respectively.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Charles Ajunwa, Governor Orji, who described Iheasimuo’s emergence as victory for democracy, thanked the people of Aba South State Constituency for making the right choice by voting overwhelmingly for the ruling party.
Governor Orji poured encomiums on voters in the constituency for conducting themselves maturely and peacefully, assuring that the state government would continue to provide the enabling environment for voters in the state to exercise their constitutional rights.
Apart from thanking the leadership of the state’s PDP for mobilizing voters to cast their votes for Mrs Iheasimuo, Orji commended the staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for doing a good work.
He also praised the police and other security agencies in the state for making sure that there was no break down of law and order in the areas where elections were conducted.
Governor Orji noted that the orderly and peaceful conduct of elections in the Aba South State Constituency had shamed the opposition as their predictions of doom and mayhem never surfaced during the poll.
He said that the victory had further showed to the world that PDP is 100 per cent in Abia.
He enjoined voters to continue to vote for candidates of the PDP in future elections, saying PDP-led governments had given human face to governance through the implementation of people-oriented programmes and projects.
