The All Progressives Congress in Abia state on Thursday said there is no provision in its constitution that guaranteed automatic ticket for aspirants including sitting governors.

This came following a recent statement by a former Governor of Abia state and a chieftain of APC, Orji Uzor kalu where he advised the incumbent Governor ,Okezie Ikpeazu to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, and that he (Ikpeazu) will be given automatic ticket to run for the 2019 election.

Speaking with newsmen in Umuahia on Thursday, publicity secretary of the party in the state, Comrade Benedict Godson explained that the field is open for anybody who wants to vie for elective positions on the platform of APC.

His words: "Tickets for the governance of Abia state on the platform of APC is open for all Abians. I can tell you that there is no provision in APC constitution that guarantees for automatic ticket".

"Anybody who is interested in contesting election can do so. Let me say it again, nowhere in our constitution that has to do with automatic ticket".

Asked if APC in Abia would permit Governor Ikpeazu if he shows interest to defect to the governing party, Benedict Godson said, “Political party is like a church. Free entry, free exit. If the governor must join APC, he must pay workers their salaries, fix infrastructure decays in the state".
"You know Abia is in a big mess. No development. No payment of workers salaries. Pensioners are suffering. I believe, if Governor Ikpeazu wants to make a shift, he should actually show good example. Abians need good governance".

Thief.

Worst Governor ever in the history of Nigeria.
