Abia: Uche Ogah Loses As Ikechi Emenike Emerges APC Governorship Candidate by powerfulguy(op): 5:14pm On May 26, 2022

High Chief Ikechi Emenike on Thursday emerged as the standard-bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State for the 2023 general elections.

In the party’s governorship primary held in Umuahia, he polled 672 votes to defeat his closest rival, Hon. Emeka Atuma polled 150 votes.

Others include Prince Paul Ikonne, 22, Chief Daniel Eke, 16, Dr Alex Otti, 14, Obinna Oriaku, 12, and Dr Uche Ogah, 6 votes.

By this result, Emenike will have to contend with the PDP standard-bearer, Prof. Uche Eleazar Ikonne who emerged on Wednesday.

Midway into the election, Hon Emeka Atuma, Dr Uche Ogah, Obinna Oriaku and Prince Paul Ikonne protested the electoral process used, indirect instead of the direct election process.

Addressing the press jointly at the venue, Dr Uche Ogah, Obinna Oriaku and Prince Paul Ikonne rejected the use of indirect process stating that the party at the national level had instructed that direct process be used.

In his acceptance speech after the primary, the winner, Ikechi Emenike said his victory is the “first step towards liberating Abia.

“It has been a long torturous journey. This is the beginning of the beginning. Now is not the time to sit on the fence.

“Our mission first is to rescue Abia and develop the state,” he said and assured “come May 29, 2023, there will be a bigger celebration. This is the era of development,” Emenike said.

Also speaking, the APC Abia State chairman, Dr Kingsley Ononogbu described the process of the primary as free and fair.

Dr Bob Uwaga was the Returning Officer.

Abia people come and tell us…

Is Chief Emenike better than PDP flagbearer?

Abi na dem dem?

Besides, Uche Ogah has no case. It’s the State Working Committee of the party that determines the mode of primary to be used and not national. National will only approve or otherwise.

The State Working Committee determines but INEC doesn't take instructions from the SWC but the NWC.

Therefore, while the NWC might concede to the SWC, they can decide otherwise and INEC deals directly with them.

APC will most likely not win, they are too divided.

Emenike controls the State structure even though he got help from his friend, Buni at the time. High Chief, Buni used to be in the ANPP and he has a personal relationship with PMB. His wife has been an Ambassador since 2015 and he is presently Governing Council Chair, UNN.

He has been fighting for this since 2008, he is an old war-horse and a master of parallel Congresses. He has organised such since 2010 till date every election turn.

The aspirants attended Emenike's own and left the venue to organize another one using Direct Primaries. INEC will likely validate Ogah (who is likely to win this one) but since he doesn't have the State Structure behind him winning becomes more difficult because Emenike will tell them to back the PDP Candidate, he does this all the time.
