“May I humbly remind you that the elections have been slated to take place between February and March 2023 in Abia, and you would have the noble duty to pick up your PVCs, and also encourage your family and loved ones to pick theirs and vote out those who have made themselves slavemasters over you.
“By voting for our incoming president, Mr. Peter Obi, my humble self, and other Labour Party candidates across the 17 Local Governments of Abia state.
“On my side, as your son, brother, friend and servant-leader seeking to render selfless and people-oriented service to our state and her people.
“I am prepared more than ever to align with other like minds to ensure that those holding our state down do not have any single opportunity to steal your vote in 2023 moreso, given the change in the electoral laws and process.
“I therefore charge you not be discouraged, rather be spurred and inspired by the new INEC innovation called BVAS which has provided a better platform for the protection of your votes.
“Remember, no freedom has ever been achieved easily anywhere, hence the need for us to increase our resolve and redouble our efforts aimed at reclaiming and rebuilding our state for the good of all.”
2023: Igbo groups berate Arthur Eze over opposition to Peter Obi
Meanwhile, a businessman and prominent Anambra indigene, Prince Arthur Eze, has incurred the wrath of Igbo groups after he distanced himself from the presidential ambition of Obi on Monday, December 26.
Eze said he was not part of Obi’s aspiration because he had seen that the former Anambra state governor could not win votes in the southwest and in the north.
Responding to Eze, prominent Igbo groups declared there is no going back on their support for Obi.
