A former governorship candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Abia State, Chief Ako Atulomah, has declared his intention to run for the State Chairmanship position of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State in the party’s upcoming State Congress.

Atulomah, who made the declaration yesterday in Umuahia, said his aspiration would be guided by the party manifesto on the strengthening on the party structure in the state and the South East region.

He highlighted his experience as grassroots politician, and professional accountant, with decades of experience both in party politics and in hands-on professional project delivery, as evidence that he would deliver if elected by his party to run its affairs in Abia State.

“I am determined to work towards the goal of providing quality leadership that will bring about the required development in our great party and give every party member a sense of belonging and the party a new lease of life, as we reorganize to get back to our former glory,” he said.

Atulomah was once a local government party chairman in the old Umuahia LGA in the old Abia State under the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC). He was also a financial consultant to Abia State Government from 2002 to 2007.

He just noticed PDP winning elections back to back, from Rivers to Taraba.
