Former National Vice Chairman and one of the aspirants gunning for the Abia State governorship race under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Chinenye Nyere Anyim, yesterday emerged the party’s flag bearer in the governorship primaries of the party.

Anyim, emerged the party’s governorship candidate through a voice vote which was adopted by the primary electoral committee after it became clear that there was no other candidate in the race with him.

The party primary held at the Ojukwu Bunker’s open field was witnessed by many APC ýsupporters from the 17 local government areas of the state and was also supervised by INEC officials.

Joseph Umoru, chairman of the electoral committee, thanked the party members for conducting themselves peacefully throughout the exercise.

Umoru in an interview with newsmen after the exercise said that the party at the national level, having been satisfied with the smooth and peaceful conduct of the primary election, had said that they would work together with Anyim to make sure that APC produces the next governor of the state.

He used the opportunity to apologise for the delay of the election which was supposed to hold on Thursday but was suspended for logistic reasons.

In his acceptance speech, Anyim said: “We don’t need to remind Abians about the sufferings and woes they have been subjected to in the last 16years. APC is going to redeem Abia from the hands of PDP government that has thrown the state into ruins. We are going to redeem the image of the state.

“This is a time to join the train that will liberate Abians from the shackles of underdevelopment and decay the PDP-led administration has thrown the state into.”

He called on other aspirants and members of the party to join hands with him to redeem the image of the state and to also make sure that the party wins the 2015 poll in the state.

You remember Abaribe?

Is Eze Ikonne in support of his(Anyim) Candidacy?

Anyim I pray you make a change in Abia incase you win.

Is he sports loving? I dont want a Governor that'll forget my @EnyimbaFC

#okay

Good or Bad, APC remains the only strong opposition to PDP.

The fact that they are able to spread across all regions like PDP, and have not died like other parties or merge is good for democracy.

We do not want a one party state, atleast we can make a choice.

we need more of such opposition for a healthy democracy.


NB: your vote is your decision, choose any of the party..am not promoting any.

I don't see how he will win. APC is deeply resented in the east.

Alex otti is the next governor of Abia state irrespective of his party.

dat guy na ronaldo oooo

2015 wl be very interesting as it wl bring new trend in government performance. Nigeria will surely become better wt good opposition

Despite PDP mumu rule in abia state
But dat APC nigga is dead on arrival
No hope
Just waste of time and moni

When I first saw ayim and Apc I settled in my mind to vote for him but when I saw his picture I was like another fat looter....Uche Samson Ogah all the way

why you mention Alex otti name na?

Seen.
Now that I'm on frontpage, let me express my mind.
Atimes when I see the ways that the E-political warriors association of social media (nairaland branch) rants and fight on nairaland concerning politics while some groups will be giving assurance that their party will definitely win an election. Then I keep asking myself. Does anyone has access to more than one vote?. Ontop all the rants and shout, you will only vote ONCE.
Therefore, life is to short to be a E-political warrior

Good for them.

Abia is in a mess. The state needs a man with a proven track record of success, a man who has put smiles on millions of faces even before gunning for elective post.
People should never vote
1.a candidiate whom people can not clearly point at what he does for living to make him a 'bigman'
2.A candidate whom his people can not point at what he has been doing for the masses prior to election.
Personally,I support Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah.
The devils that has kept Abia on ransome are against him,but he will triumph.

That will not stop the police from destroying people's goods at enyimba (Ariaria market)
