Contrary to rumours that the ruling APC has agreed to give out Abia and other states to the main opposition, the PDP in exchange for its percentage of votes gotten in the just concluded presidential election, vice president Yemi Osinbajo has debunked the rumour.

Speaking during a town-hall meeting in Aba on Tuesday, the vice president said the rumour is untrue and should be disregarded by everyone. He added that Abia State is important to the APC and will be claimed through the ballot in the Saturday's governorship election.

Osinbajo said there is no form of alliance between the APC and PDP for the ruling party in Abia to produce the next governor of the state as alleged.

Speaking with newsmen, the Abia APC publicity secretary, Chief Benedict Godson congratulated the state chairman of the party, Hon. Donatus Nwankpa whom he described as the authentic chairman, urging him not to look back.

He said the chairman has built a very strong and healthy party that is ready to take over Abia. He called on the former factional governorship candidate of the party, Chief Ikechi Emenike to join forces with the party to achieve victory in the March 9 governorship election.

They'd have to join forces with APGA or vice versa. The PDP candidate in Abia have to be sacked. If OUK can deliver Abia North to the Senate. Apc will surely get votes in Abia central and even light votes from the south where the incumbent hails from.

Abia is keenly contested and osibanjo knows that.
