As the March 27, 2021 Aba North/South Federal Constituency bye-election draws nearer, a group which calls itself AIF Media has alleged that only the candidate of APC, Hon. Mascot Uzor Kalu is campaigning round the communities in the constituency, saying PDP is afraid of meeting the people because they have no project to show as the ruling party in the state.
The group while insisting that the PDP looks unprepared for the election says from the look of things, even the assurances by the governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu to deliver the candidate of the PDP may not materialise.
It alleged that PDP governor is shying away from leading the party’s campaign to the villages because he has no project to showcase in those villages within the constituency.
