This is a careful survey on the background and political journey of some of the PDP key gubernatorial candidates. Here, the persons examined are Enyinnaya Abaribe, Emeka Wogu, Okezie Ikpeazu, Acho Nwakanma all from Abia South.
It is well understood that no Abia South person has ever occupied the seat of Abia State Governor but at this time, the incumbent governor officially zoned it to them.

We’ve had god-fatherism come and go, zoning or no zoning. The key question/point we want to raise here is this: is the incumbent governor of Abia State zoning the entire scene with a genuine concern or is he just trying to raise his person who happens to be from Abia South on Abians, using this zoning front.
In a survey conducted, 80 percent of Abians raised a common point on this issue which states that, Abia State wants a credible person, Abia South or not. Majority of this 80% are frail as to voting for PDP in the next guber election. Most of these people are from the Aba/ Abia South Axis. (We all know the state of Aba, which happens to be the heartbeat of Abia State in revenue generation, population, man power and labor. The one time popular enyimba city is an abandoned project in every way, but due to its content, people still come in from all over Nigeria for trade transactions).
These key persons, running for the Abia guber race have found themselves in top political position but have not done any notable thing for the Abia South people:
