The Frontline Governorship Candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Interpol Expert Sir Chikwe Udensi on 8th September 2018 graced the grand declaration of Chief Charles Nkata to run for Arochukwu/ Ohafia federal Constituency. During the event, the future governorship flag bearer expressed his gratitude for the arousing welcome from teaming supporters.
While addressing the crowd He promised to reciprocate the support and numerous endorsements he has so far received from the LGA by making sure that good governance is felt when elected governor. He lamented that previous and present governments have done little or nothing for Ohafia LGA as the headquarter of Abia North. He reassured the good people of Ohafia and APGA members that he will ensure the protection of their votes and the deletion of the bad government of PDP come 2019. He also warned against those who are being used as agents of division in the party to desist from such act as it will not do them any good. He informed the crowd how Tim Menakaya led an eight Man delegation in 2001 to his home in Lagos and asked him to become part of the formation of All Progressives Grand Alliance, an offer which he gladly embraced and made a huge donation in this regard. This information was rightly Confirmed by Chief Onwuka Ukwa who was present at the declaration as he was among the said delegation in 2001. The governorship hopeful therefore promised to uphold the ideology of the party through unalloyed support at all times.
The Interpol Expert also endorsed the candidature of Chief Charles Nkata who he described as a rare breed of personality and a blessing to Ohafia people. It will be recalled that during the days of Chief Charles Nkata in the Banking Sector, he helped so many individuals gain employment and rise to greatness.
