Ikpeazu, Ahaiwe and challenges of running a late governorship campaign

One thing that has played out with the conduct of Saturday of fresh governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abia State on February 4 is that the state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu is bent on producing his successor from his Ngwa Clan.

The fresh primary of the party held at the Umuahia Township stadium, which produced the immediate past Chief of Staff, Okey Ahaiwe, as the governorship candidate of the party in next month’s general election. The fresh primary was called following the death of the former governorship candidate, Prof Uche Ikonne, who died on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 from a protracted illness.
