Chinasa Abiola Withdraws From Abia APC State Assembly Primaries, Dumps Party

An aspirant for Umuahia Central constituency of Abia State on the platform of All Progressives Congress APC, Mr. Anthony Chinasa Abiola has announced his withdrawal from the primary election of the party, accusing the people he described as powers that be of imposing a certain aspirant on the party.

In a chat with newsmen on Wednesday in Umuahia, the House of Assembly aspirant said the atmosphere is not favourable for him to continue in the primaries, therefore announced his exit from the APC.

This is coming barely 24 hours to the primary election scheduled to hold on Thursday, May 26, 2022.

According to Abiola, there is so much indecision in the Abia State chapter of APC which he insists he will not be part of.

“As a member of APC and an aspirant, I believe that I’m are entitled to certain privileges. The indecision in APC Abia State chapter is reason why I’m withdrawing.

“There’s a lot of indecisions. Tomorrow (Thursday) is the date for the primary election and I’m an aspirant whom the delegates should be made available to but up till this moment, I don’t know who the delegates are, neither do I even know the mode of the election whether direct or indirect.

“How will I be an aspirant who has made so much impact, in Umuahia Central and at this moment I don’t even know what is going to happen tomorrow.

“I can’t even determine my fate, so it’s sad and I cannot leave my fate to be ridiculed in such an atmosphere,” he said.

While not announcing his new political family, Mr. Abiola said he will meet with his constituents to seek their advise on the new political move.

He stated that politics should avail all participants opportunity to test their popularity fairly, maintaining that some individuals are favoured over others in Abia State chapter of APC.

He therefore urged his supporters to remain calm and law abiding, stating that the journey to offer them an effective representation is still ongoing.
