While speaking on the party adopting the method of consensus to select the new chairman, he said the move has proven APC to be a cooperative body as against speculations that there is rancour in the party.
He said Senator Adamu is capable of maintaining orderliness in the party and that he has the full support of the party in Abia state.

“For us in Abia, it is now time for us to take the words of Mr President to heart, when he enjoined us all to promote internal democracy and equal opportunities and ensure that party primaries are not influenced by “highest bidders” going into the 2023 elections.
“That way, we will be able to elect the most competent leaders for Abia State, and root out the cankerworms that have eaten our state since the return to democracy.
