In his remarks shortly after emerging the party’s candidate, Hon. Idika said there is the need to actualize the vision of the constituency in a new political platform, the NNPP.

According to Idika, Abia needs fresh air which NNPP represents as replicated in its logo, a basket full of fresh fruits and vegetables.

He said, “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is a new dawn in Abia State and Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency.

“We have decided to actualize our dreams through NNPP- New Nigeria People’s Party, because Abia State needs some fresh breeze. This can be read through our logo, a basket full of sweet fresh fruits and vegetables.

“The Presidential Aspirants are Aliu Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano State Governor, An industrialist, Olufemi Ajadi, and many others.

“Let’s come back home; our dear son/brother Dr Ukpai Iro Ukpai from Asaga Ohafia was returned as our Governorship Candidate, and I Hon.Prince Fred Eke Idika was returned as a consensus candidate for Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal House of Representatives.”

He expressed gratitude to God as he works together with his constituents to make Abia great, assuring that he will never let them down.

“We can only give Almighty God all the Glory; as we work together to make Abia great.

“Finally, and more importantly, i want to commend your unflinching supports right from the inception of this Political Project. You never relented in your efforts to give me your unalloyed supports.

“On my own part, i will never let you down. This is a project for the future of our generation, and all of us will work together to its successful end.

“Go all out and inform all and sundry to this development. Expect more from Ekwueme.”
