First Call: Abia agog for PDP guber candidate, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu

As the February 28, 2015 governorship election holds across the nation in few weeks, Abia people seem to have settled for the Peoples Democratic Party, flag bearer, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, PhD.

A respected grassroots politician, Dr. Ikpeazu, a former lecturer at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, has been in politics for over a decade. The former deputy general manager of Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA) is also a former transition committee chairman of Obingwa Local Government Area.

Majority of Abians supporting Dr. Ikpeazu are behind him because of his simplicity, humility, dedication to service, loyalty and commitment to continue with the legacies of Chief T.A Orji’s administration.

Okezie Ikpeazu is interestingly tagged Okezuo Abia since his candidacy represents equity and fairness to all Abians.

Equally in the race to succeed Ochendo Global (Governor Orji) are Dr. Alex Otti of APGA, former managing director of Diamond Bank Plc and Chief Nyerere Anyim, who is flying APC’s flag.
