Abia: APGA Issues Prince Ike Okorafor Certificate Of Return For Arochukwu State Constituency

All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA has issued certificate of return to Prince Ike Okorafor as the duly elected candidate for Arochukwu Constituency of Abia state House of Assembly.

The party had earlier issued Mr. Ifeanyi Elvis Ogbonna same certificate for the Constituency ahead of the 2023 general elections, which Okoroafor said it was based on false information.

Speaking with ABN TV on Friday, Mr. Ike Okorafor said political power is not a chieftaincy titled, noting that getting his certificate of return is one of the most difficult battles he has faced in life.

According to him, he fought one of the political deities in Abia state.

According to him, the primary election which produced him was duly monitored by INEC as conducted by electoral officers from the national leadership of APGA.

He said Mr. Ifeanyi Elvis Ogbonna his opponent did not show up for the election, noting that one Mr. Felix Ihenkoro who was the returning officer conducted the election in which he emerged the winner.

According to him, he was surprised when his name was missing at the final result published by APGA.

“I was very surprised, before you know it, a certificate of return was issued to someone who did not participate in the primary election.

“So I went to INEC to request for the certified true copy of the primaries, it was issued. I approached the party leadership at the national level, I made my point, they saw reasons.

“I commend the leadership of APGA under Ozonkpu Victor Oye, he saw the truth and he followed it,” he said.

He therefore called on aggrieved aspirants to join hands and ensure the victory of APGA in Arochukwu State Constituency.

He appealed to his constituents to support the party and ensure its victory in 2023.

A federal lawmaker Senator Smart Adeyemi has said Senators will not abandon Senator Ike Ekweremadu and some of them are making efforts to reach out to him.

He was reacting to allegations of organ harvesting levelled against former Deputy Senate President Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu.

The London Metropolitan Police on Thursday arrested and charged Senator Ekweremadu and his wife for conspiring to bring a child to the UK for organ harvesting.

Speaking in an interview with Channels Television, Senator Adeyemi said there is still a lot of unknown aspects of the case hence the need to proceed with caution and not be quick to condemn Senator Ekweremadu.

He further said until the issue of consent is firmly established, it will be difficult to give a well informed opinion on the matter.

“This issue is most unfortunate,” Adeyemi told Channels Television. “it’s something that is very disturbing to everybody in the Senate because he is one of us; but more importantly is the fact that I know him to be a man of great value and strength of character; a man with very high moral foundation.

“But having said this, I think it is too early to start apportioning blame as to whether he is guilty or not. All of us who are colleagues, we are feeling the pains and we are standing with Ike Ekweremadu on this. We will not abandon him to this.

“Effort is being made by quite a number of Senators to see what we can do by way of giving moral support and any other support that is required.

“But we want to get get the full details of the case. The issues are that the victim was not of age, that he was below 18 years old, so he could not be seen to have had the right of determining as to whether he could offer his organs for someone else.”
