The All Progressives Congress, APC governorship candidate in Abia State, High Chief Ikechi Emenike has called on the voters to engage in the transformative political struggle to rescue Abia from corrupt leaders for the good of the greater number of the citizens.

Emenike who was flanked by his running mate Mrs Gloria Akara, the Director General of Rescue and Develop Abia campaign council, Hon. Uche Ogboso and State Party Chairman, Dr. Kingsley Ononogbu, made the call in his Umukabia-Okpuala-Ohuhu country home while unveiling his Rescue and Develop Abia 23 key deliverables (Manifesto) for 2023 guber election.

Emenike who disclosed his intentions to boost economic growth, enhance public revenue and ultimately, propel development in Abia, assured that when duly elected, his administration would work to double the current size of the State’s economy within 36 months of taking office.

Emenike who also declared that his mission is to totally emancipate Abia from political servitude and economic stagnation, clearly pointed out that low budgeting is one of the major reasons the state has remained underdeveloped.

He promised to establish industrial parks in each of the 17 local governments of the state and also said that the industrial estates will be estalished in addition to building an international airport, siting of industries and tertiary institutions in the three zones of the state according to their comparative advantages, citing the oil bearing Ukwa West local government “where we will build a refinery”.

While reacting to question of him not being accessible, Emenike said that he is the only candidate that sits with teenagers in Abia to discuss the way forward, stressing that those who accuse him of not being accessible are rumor mongers.

“if you ever purchase a form to run for governorship or any position, that is when you’ll hear the story of your generation. Most of those saying bad things about me may not be able to identify me in a crowd. What they say is not true and it is aimed at fault finding, however I’m happy that none of my accusers have ever described me as a thief or relate me to the backwardness in Abia State”, he said.

Earlier in a remark, the APC Abia State Chairman, Dr. Kingsley Ononogbu assured that APC will enthrone discipline in Abia governance, as its guber candidate is coming for total emancipation of the State.

He therefore urged the electorate in Abia State to cherish their rights to vote and use it to enthrone good governance in the state by electing Emenike to preside over their affairs.
