A chieftain of Abia APGA, Sir Chikwe Udensi has said only the people will determine who will fly the flag of the party in the upcoming 2023 governorship election in the state.
He said the more people the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA welcomes into the party, the merrier, saying the party is not a one man affair.
Speaking with ABN TV, Sir Udensi who had in recent times embarked on massive outreach for the elderly and retirees in the 17 local government areas of state said he is ready to submit to the will of the party in anyone it chooses as governorship candidate.
Recall that one Major General Ijioma (Rtd) had on Thursday declared his intention to vie for the ticket of the party in readiness for the governorship election.
He described himself as a man with character and discipline, maintaining that he has what it takes to lead the state.
Udensi who was instrumental in giving APGA a voice in Abia urged Abians to identify with APGA as a party of choice, saying the party is committed to bringing about effective leadership.
“If the greater people in Abia say it’s Major General Ijioma they want, we will all join him, but if they say it’s me they want, everybody will join me.
“I like what he said when he declared that he is going to respect whoever the party picks as its candidate. That is the spirit of APGA.
“We are not a one man party arrangement. All hand should be on deck for us to select the best candidate that will represent the party.
“We want more people to come in. I am also told that some people from Diaspora are coming in. The more the merrier. Let everyone join APGA” he said.
