A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and senatorial aspirant for Abia South, Prince Paul Ikonne, has called on the current Senator representing the district, Enyinnaya Abaribe, to prepare to vacate his seat. Ikonne made this declaration on Wednesday morning after collecting his nomination and expression of interest forms.
Ikonne Criticizes Abaribe's Senate Record
Prince Ikonne criticized Abaribe for what he described as nearly two decades of ineffective contributions in the Senate. According to Ikonne, Abaribe has failed to bring meaningful development to the Abia South district despite his long tenure. He urged the Senator, who belongs to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to step aside and allow for new representation.
APC Aspirant Vows Change
The APC chieftain vowed to provide effective representation for Abia South if elected in 2027. He promised to deliver tangible results and meaningful change for the district, contrasting his vision with Abaribe's perceived lack of progress. Ikonne expressed confidence that the people of Abia South are ready for a new direction.
Ikonne made these remarks while addressing journalists on Wednesday. He emphasized that his candidacy represents a fresh opportunity for the district to achieve the development it deserves.
