File: Former Executive Secretary of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority Prince Paul Ikonne
Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress in Abia South Senatorial District have thrown their weight behind the candidacy of former Executive Secretary of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority, Prince Paul Ikonne, for the Senate.
The party leaders, in a statement read by Elder Chinwe Nwanganga on Tuesday, also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Working Committee for conducting “a free, fair and credible primary election.”
The group argued that the real congresses held were those that produced Ikonne as the APC candidate for Abia South Senatorial District, and Sam Nwogu as the candidate for Ukwa Federal Constituency.
The leaders said the choice of Ikonne reflects over 20 years of experience in public service, noting that he is regarded by Abia people, especially in the Old Aba Zone, as a politician whose strength lies in preparation and service rather than rhetoric.
